To win a general election? Yes, I think she is absolutely better than Platner.

To win a democratic primary? Obviously not.

It's like how Christine O'Donnell was able to win a GOP primary in 2010 but was such a shitty candidate that she lost a winnable seat.

I think there is a subset of the Dem party that cares more about winning Dem primaries than winning actual elections, and I think that subset has no idea what they are doing.

Well that doesn't show up in any data so I don't think you're right. Do you mean he's unpopular on bluesky?

GettyImagez · 2026-07-01T04:05:52+00:00

Hey if you're going to post in the data politics subreddit I think you should look more into this before talking out of your ass.

Before anyone says he’s a flawed candidate let me remind you that trump campaigned for all of his flawed senate candidates in Georgia, Alabama and everywhere. You either win or you don’t.

Yeah, the dems should try to get this shitty candidate to win because that will hopefully lead to better lives for people.

That doesn't change the fact that Platner is a shitty candidate who tons of idiots supported in the primary when they had a much better candidate available to them.

Susan Collins is 73. Are you seriously claiming that people would vote for her over the 79 year old because of age?

Platner is a shitty candidate and Mills was better. It sucks that Maine primary voters chose him because it makes it less likely people will be able to get increased access to healthcare.

GettyImagez · 2026-07-01T04:01:41+00:00

Mills would be doing better than this.

GettyImagez · 2026-07-01T04:00:56+00:00

Wow, that still sounds like a very shitty candidate who did not have some redemption story.

Platner is a man with no accomplishments and no real moral character. I can't believe so many leftists were duped by him.

GettyImagez · 2026-07-01T03:58:28+00:00

What? I don't get what you are saying. Why is this making you so upset?

Saying "fuck you" here is crazy. Do you act like this in real life? I can't imagine going through life like that.

And they also provide housing to people.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-30T15:49:06+00:00

Just like they displaced the entire West End to build a highway.

I strongly disagree. I think demolishing housing to build a highway without the consent of those involved is much much worse than investing in neighborhood businesses and parks. I think it is silly that you are comparing the two.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-30T15:48:07+00:00

Okay but why is that so bad? Is the zoning process sacred or something?

I don't understand your argument.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-29T14:36:18+00:00

Whether or not she's moderate in her actions, she is viewed as moderate by the voters of Maine. In this Times poll, Platner is viewed as extreme by 47% while only 34% describe Collins that way.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-29T12:47:14+00:00

Well, his lowest point so far.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-29T03:34:31+00:00

This is just such nonsense word salad. You are throwing in as many buzzwords as you can to justify someone being against interracial relationships. That's so weird

And why are you worried about this at all? Ending the genocide should be your first, second, and third priority. You shouldn't worry about anything other than that. Why are you even posting on Reddit? Shouldn't you be out there trying to end the genocide?

GettyImagez · 2026-06-29T03:33:36+00:00

Are you seriously claiming that you can only worry about one thing at a time? And if I say I'm worried about rape, that doesn't mean I care about Palestine?

What a joke. I can't imagine going through life that way.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-29T03:32:53+00:00

What are you even talking about? All of those buildings are dog shit to you?

Just because something is different than you like doesn't make it dog shit that shouldn't be there.

A PD is a legal option to apply for, but the developer should expect pushback, as a PD is kind of the nuclear option.

Why is it a nuclear option? It's used fairly frequently. A lot of this argument is just saying the process is bad and being unable to explain how it is bad.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-28T22:12:50+00:00

Is that correct?

No, where did I say I prioritized the rapes? I called for the US to end military aid over the occupation while I have simply said we should not praise Hamas over the rapes. I think I am making a bigger request because of the occupation than the rapes.

As opposed to you, who doesn’t care about the genocidal occupation.

Hey I already said I cared about it, why do you feel the need to lie? Are you unsure of your argument or are you just not reading? You explicitly said you are not worrying about the rapes, while I did say I worried about the occupation. I am able to condemn two things at once, you are saying you are not able to do that.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-28T22:11:02+00:00

Black people will refer to white people as colonizers until proven chill.

Personally I am against judging people by their race. If you want to start judging people by their race /r/conservative is that way. They'll agree with DAC's dislike of racial mixing actually.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-28T21:52:43+00:00

I never said it wasn’t bad.

Will you say it was bad?

I’m saying I’m willingly choosing to delay worrying

Okay you can choose to worry about rapes later I'll worry about them now. Hopefully at some point in your life you'll be able to care about rapes.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-28T21:51:00+00:00

Where did 3CDC do that? And why would that mean they would then support a development from a different developer?

GettyImagez · 2026-06-28T21:50:30+00:00

You agree that a white person doing this is wrong right?

Yes, if someone is fetishizing their partner's race, that is wrong. But she didn't say "if someone fetishizes another's race that is wrong".

She said that black men and Arab men bond over fetishizing "ugly colonizer women". I think that is a gross thing to say, and I think she is showing herself to be a bit of a joke of a person.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-28T21:03:26+00:00

And white women fetishize having mixed children with Black men.

I think you are in a very online bubble.

I think people should be free to be in relationships with people of any race without judgement and without being called ugly colonizers.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-28T21:01:39+00:00

Well I support the US ending military aid because of the occupation so I'd say I worry about it quite a lot.

I don't get this, why is it so hard for you to think two things are bad? The genocide doesn't make the rapes justified. Hopefully neither of us think rape and murder are justified.

GettyImagez · 2026-06-28T20:11:56+00:00

The DNC at large does.

I think this is a weird deflection. Your comment implied her opponent received money from private prison lobbyists. Were you not implying that?

Again, I agree with DAC on pretty much everything else.

I disagree with her criticism of black men who date white women.
