And this is why she didn’t deserve to be considered for the race. She’s only in it for herself. She doesn’t care about anybody else. She played dirty politics while Graham Platner refused to do so. It backfired on her big time, so she’s taking her toys and going home. Selfish bitch.
they probably only allowed bernie because he was a useful shield to deflection criticism form the AIPAC-senators. there was another vet that tried to campaign as a dem, i think the presley guy but he was snubbed by the DNC, because it calls out thier support for the MIC.
Nah. I don’t think the DNC “allows” anything with Bernie. I think Bernie is largely immune to DNC fuckery due to Vermont’s size and high level of progressive values. Vermont is a really small state. Bernie served as the mayor of Burlington. And Burlington is a small place; it has a population under 50k. He was a big fish in a small pond, and this allowed him to build a political brand and identity without a lot of backing from the national party. He was able to become the mayor of Burlington through local efforts. Then he parlayed that into a House seat, then a Senate seat.
But the key is Vermont is again, a small place. A small media budget goes a long way there. But imagine Bernie was running in a place like California. Much bigger state. Much bigger media budget. Much greater resources required to be competitive.

Yeah, I don’t understand how people looked at “Susan Collins, but Older!” as a better option than Planter.
She’s ‘vetted and battle-tested’ according to the DNC.
The DNC only likes corporate bootlickers that are completely out of touch with constituents.
Vetted for aipac they mean
In the second world war, maybe…
as in old as schumer, and a toe-ing the line for ISRAEL.
apparently janet mills isnt a any better, she is just more wishy washy than collins.
She’s only in it to make sure that Democrats do not gain power in the senate.
If she had won and retired after one 6 year term that would mean that those 6 years would be wasted and she would have no seniority position of power.
They’re afraid of Platner because he’s young and would be able to accumulate seniority and power over the years.
to make sure anyone left of center right dont gain power.
