“While Susan Collins’ campaign is backed by billionaire donors, our campaign is built on a movement funded by the people, with an average donation of $26,” said Graham Platner’s campaign manager.
A new analysis of campaign finance data shows that nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have contributed to Republican Sen. Susan Collins’ reelection bid so far, funneling nearly $10 million to the incumbent’s campaign committee and PACs supporting her effort to fend off progressive challenger Graham Platner.
The Maine Monitor on Thursday published a list of billionaires who have donated to Collins and Platner, who has called his Republican opponent a “corrupt” protector and beneficiary of an oligarchic political system.
The outlet noted that Collins’ billionaire donation total “stands in stark contrast with the fundraising of her opponent… whose campaign has mostly attracted smaller amounts of funds but from many more people.”
A better rule of thumb is “who are the Zionist and Billionaires funding”. Personally, I really dislike Platner. But when I see literally every Zionist group funding attack campaigns it really doesn’t matter anymore. It’s a single election. If I was in Maine, I’d go vote against what the Zionist clearly want.
Does the chud betray us and turn into a Fetterman? Maybe. Maybe he has a stroke too. But I want Israel to stop getting bombs. I don’t have to like Platner. But I am excited that a candidate that says he wants to stop weapons shipments to Israel is actually popular in a purple state like main. That is amazing. And no amount of virtue signaling will take that away from me.
I’ve been fighting Zionism since I was in college in 2015. Platner winning would be good for the entire movement of the left. Even if he doesn’t follow through. People don’t want “it’s complicated centrist”. You don’t have to compromise. You can win elections while being against the genocidal apartheid state. That is absolutely a win.
Yea this is the kind of thing people should be saying. Instead of attacking anyone with an opinion of a previous Nazi tattoo. I’m not in Maine, i don’t trust this guy. But Fuck Susan Collins.
Careful with that nuance. People here don’t like measured criticism of Platner
My concerns are that he’s either lying about knowing it was a totenkopf or if he isn’t that he’s pretty stupid because a totenkopf isn’t subtle, it’s like the third or fourth most recognizable nazi symbol, and any tattoo shop that’ll do a totenkopf is gonna have other nazi imagery around because that’s a nazi shop, so he would have had to miss that too. So yeah he was either nazi adjacent or really dumb. Neither are good, but he likely can’t be worse than Collins so he gets a benefit of the doubt. But I’m sorry if you get a totenkopf tattoo without somehow recognizing a prominent and exclusively nazi symbol then you’re pretty goddamn stupid. It’s not an obscure symbol, it’s the goddamn death’s head. You shouldn’t even need history class, popular media should be enough.
Exactly. And the people here that are willing to say whatever they need to in order to deflect any criticism, regardless of how valid…
Stop trying to fucking gaslight people into thinking this isn’t a blatant Nazi symbol.
I was literally told on here that I’m lying about knowing the symbol prior to the controversy. In their mind it’s simply not possible for someone to be aware of the totenkopf. Unreal.
Not all people here. Some of us want to get closer to the truth, no matter how pretty, or ugly, it is. Overall though, I agree.
