In order to break the wheel, Dems have to learn how to vote for flawed candidates. The more flawed the better, as far as I'm concerned. It's a better test that way.A few years ago I would've agreed with you, but the state of current politics is that Reps are allowed to be a complete disaster (in fact, the more flawed they are, the better they tend to perform) but Dems have to be perfect. They have to parse their words so much they end up frozen in fear, completely reliant on consultants and boring to the point of irrelevance. It will bury the party in the long run. The only way to break that cycle is for them to run straight through it. Planter's a great opportunity and he polls better against Collins for a reason.

Thursday at 05:27 PM3 days I struggle making too much of a tattoo of a skull and bones that resembles a totenkopf without some supporting evidence of white nationalist or other notzi related beliefs. a swastika or SS tattoo? Yeah that's much more of a direct line.I'm more concerned that Platner has not been at all pressure tested in a way that inspires confidence of any success at this level. A US Senate seat is a pretty big leap for a guy who was slinging drinks at a capitol hill bar a decade ago, whose national service is being in and out of the military achieving a rank of sergeant, and who has a rather erratic history when it comes to political beliefs. He's a guy who might superficially play well in a state like Maine, but in a bruising campaign against a long-standing incumbent who's been previously assumed a dead woman walking and come out on top, I dunno.
