“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.”



Woopdie friggin doo, you learned something so that must mean everyone knows it, right? I learned lots of shit in grade school that I found out later not everyone knows. People thought I was arrogant for assuming they all know the same shit as me. That’s what you’re doing now.
Nothing I’ve said was nazi apologism, get the fuck outta here with that strawman. He says he didn’t know what it was when he got it, and I believe that’s a reasonable explanation. Maybe you don’t, that’s fine, whatever, but that doesn’t make me a nazi apologist.
You’re making excuses for an explicitly exclusively nazi tattoo. That’s apologism buddy.
I’m saying he didn’t know it was a nazi tattoo. That’s not apologism.
And I’m saying that’s bullshit because he would have to be one step above totally fucking braindead to unknowingly get a nazi tattoo at a nazi tattoo shop. So is he lying or pants-shittingly fucking dumb? Both are serious concerns that should be absolutely disqualifying under any normal circumstances but he can’t be worse than Collins so here we are.
