“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.”

    Who ELSE has Russia invaded because they stated the victim was being the aggressor?

    Look, I know your name is “Commie” but you have a serious blind spot here.

    So when Stein said:

    https://uawire.org/news/jill-stein-the-us-helped-foment-a-coup-in-ukraine-where-ex-nazis-came-to-power

    “We should encourage Ukraine to be neutral; we helped foment a coup against a democratically-elected government, [resulting in a government] where ultra-nationalists and ex-Nazis came to power.”

    “So let’s not be single-issue–instead of fomenting a hostile Ukraine we should be leading the way in establishing a neutral Ukraine that would allow Russia to not feel under attack,” Stein added.

    That isn’t JUST Russian propoganda, those are direct talking points from Putin.

    But at this point you personally are a lost cause, it’s been proved over and over again in this thread. This is purely a reply for posterity so anyone searching your history can bear witness to how thoroughly owned you are on this topic.
