“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.”
she was investigated by the senate, and they found that she wasn’t taking funding from russians. this is misinformation
Bullshit. They proved she was a Russian asset.
Here’s a story of her campaigning in 2024 with Russian assets.

Here’s one from 2018 showing the Russians running a social media blitz on behalf of Jill Stein for President.

SORRY BUT YOU’RE JUST WRONG, DUDE. SHE’S A FUCKING RUSSIAN PLANT AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
this is all insinuation and innuendo. what I said is the truth.
this isn’t proof she takes money or orders from russia
You don’t sit at a dinner table with the Russian power structure for no reason. See Mike Flynn on the other side of it.

she went there to celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the few media outlets that didn’t try to freeze her out.
And why would Russian media give an American a platform, hm? 😉
more insinuation
What you said is technically treason. She’s a traitor and by extension, so are her supporters.
if this were true she would have been hanged under the Democrats or Republicans who took office when she didn’t beat them.
She’s a useful idiot to the right-wing coup. She’s the gift that keeps helping the fascists win. She helped Bush steal 2000 from Gore. She helped Trump steal 2016 and 2024 from the American people.
Why would the rich get rid of her when she’s 3 for 3 in helping you and them overthrow the Republic on behalf of billionaires?
Stein wasn’t on the ballot in 2000, the Green candidate was Ralph Nader. Stein first appeared on the Presidential ballot in 2012.
In the end, the Florida butterfly ballot had a bigger impact than Nader did.
That being said, Gore lost his own home state. If he had won TN, Florida would not have mattered.
Gore won Florida. He literally got more votes than Bush.
But the Governor of Florida was Bush’s brother Jeb, and his people on the state Supreme Court gave the election to his brother, who again, won fewer votes than Mr Gore.
Oh, absolutely agreed, as the post installment of Bush recount discovered:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/jan/29/uselections2000.usa
Gore did not fight Florida hard enough, but like I say, the real problem is he failed to win his own home state. If he had won TN, Florida literally would not have mattered. He could have let Bush have Florida and would still have won.
she ran against Trump in 2016 and 2024.
No, she ran against America. She HELPED Trump win.
there’s no helping someone who doesn’t understand how a ballot works
It doesn’t matter. They have a picture of her sitting at a dinner table that one time in 2015. So now she’s basically FSB Western Hemisphere Commanding Officer for life.
Facts simply do not influence their feelings.
Why was she there? Why exactly was an unelected political candidate meeting with a hostile foreign government during an election campaign? Why could that be?
