“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.”
I mean if you’re an ex drug addict you shouldn’t be Secretary of health. I think at some point we’ve gone too far.
I think RFK jr. shouldn’t be Secretary of Health because he’s anti-science, anti-vaccine, anti-handwashing, anti-public health, believes raw milk and red meat are good for you, eats roadkill, swims in raw sewage, and brags about doing coke off of public bathroom toilet seats. I’m sure I missed a few points, too.
Being a former drug addict doesn’t factor into it. Some of the kindest, most caring, self-aware, and health-focused people I know are former drug addicts. People can turn their lives around, and climbing out of a mountain-deep hole is as big of an accomplishment as climbing a mountain.
The fact that you’re trying to conflate RFK jr.'s being-a-drug-addict with his being-a-disgusting-unqualified-piece-of-shit is very problematic and reveals a lot about you as a person.
