“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.”
Replace Putin with Trump. Everyone around a Trump dinner table would be a Trump bootlicker.
Same deal with Stein and Putin.
she speaks out against Russias war. she’s no bootlicker
Now you’re just demonstrably lying:

Jill Stein (G) said that she viewed Russians “not as enemies to conquer or resources to exploit, but as members of the global community whom we must deal with.” She recommended that the U.S. “encourage Ukraine to be neutral” so that Russia would not “feel under attack.”
https://www.thirdway.org/memo/jill-stein-a-russian-asset-and-a-hypocrite
"In 2015, Stein “recorded a video from Moscow’s famous Red Square, in which she talked about ‘the need to rein in American exceptionalism’ and replace ‘a U.S. policy based on domination’—words that sounded like they were ripped from Putin’s talking points.” – POLITICO (June 20, 2017). During the campaign of 2016, Stein “parroted the Russian position on Ukraine and criticized the U.S. for installing a government in Kiev ‘hostile to Russia.’” – NBC News (Dec. 22, 2018)
She still sounds like a Russian propagandist: “Russia’s invasion was a provoked response to the bigger, more murderous and illegal game plan of US empire… In 2014 the US backed a coup in Ukraine led by far-right insurrectionists. The installation of the new government was a giant step towards the goal of adding Ukraine to NATO - and putting hostile bases and nuclear-capable missiles right on Russia’s border.” – Jill Stein (Feb. 24, 2022)"
showing quotes where she’s not criticizing Russia isn’t proof she doesn’t criticize Russia. she called the invasion illegal.
And repeatedly parroted Putin calling Ukraine the aggressor. LOL.
Like if I break into your house and call you the bad guy.
if she’s ever done that, you could prove this. she has never said that, though.

she never called Ukraine the aggressor, no matter how big you make your text
Because non-aggressors are well known for wanting to attack. 🤣
You’re twisting yourself in a pretzel trying to avoid the obvious.
Over and over Stein parroted Putin talking points, which is why the Russians helped her and why she was at dinner with Putin.
