Yes there were red flags, but the mission was to unseat Collins, so we were all willing to look the other way on some of them and were hoping that we were going to vote for the man he is now, to make this happen. Everyone who was supporting him did say that if something came out that was truly disqualifying, we’d drop him like a hot rock, and this clearly the case.
We are never gonna unseat Collins. This bitch has more lives than a cat! FML (flips a table)
I don’t want him to drop out. He needs to keep running. Not even from Maine and I still want to vote for him
Unfortunately this seems 100% credible. Her therapist and another ex boyfriend are both corroborating the allegations. The woman even said she shares his politics. I’m not mad at her bravely coming out with this but the timing is rather suspicious. She should have spoken up a year ago, or at the very least ahead of the primary. There’s a guy we can slide over to, he’s known and vetted in the state (Troy Jackson, who’s a logger by trade), but he has about as much charisma as a grilled cheese sandwich. Also he’s almost retirement age.
I usually will take the women’s side in cases like this. But come on the timing of this just seems like a hit job and it could be either Republicans or Democrats doing it. I’m so sick of the Democrats caving for every little scandal. While Republicans knowingly put pedophiles in office they don’t give a f***

Yeah the solution is to elect more rapists. /s

You want the left to not give a fuck in the same way?
It’s neat to condemn people as criminals on a simple timely accusation.
No one is condemning Platner as a criminal. That’s for a court to decide. Everyone is just saying he shouldn’t be a Senator.
Getting cancelled is not the same as getting thrown in jail.
Not just that, but in his case it might be the real healing he needs. Or he could come out the other side with real viable opinions about the prison industrial complex based on lived experience, which was kind of the draw with him in the first place TBH.
