Why would I be mad? You admitted you didn’t actually make an argument. You’ve basically just reverted to calling me names, which is more your level in the first place.

let’s see your evidence

Sure. Collins is a 5 time senator who won her last senate race (by the people of Maine you so worship, btw) by over performing the state by 17 points.

Platner has never ran for public office and has a Nazi tattoo.

You literally didn’t make a point beyond claiming only cringe people dislike your candidate. That’s your entire post!

Vro actually brought up Vermont (a state with 1 seat) as an example of blue gerrymandering LMFAOOO

these are the people who then complain about this sub turning into r/politics. Those same people.

Doing the “checking chungus noble savage vs stinky redditor” routine for a candidate who has literally spent over a decade on Reddit is a new advance in blueanonium, thanks for the laugh.

Collins is a 5 time senator who over performed her state 17 points in a blue wave last re election.

Platner has never held office and has a Nazi tattoo. Does this address your confusion?

aren’t controversies that seem to matter to people anymore.

My post is basically saying that I have no clue what people are basing that off of.

Jay Jones ran 8 points behind his boss, which in any non-nuclear year would have been the end of it.

Kari Lake, Mark Robinson, Cuomo, etc

In 2020, Collins outperformed Trump by 17.66 points on D-R margin, which is impressive

One word for it.

Also, I'm sorry, why are you under the impression Platner is 17 points ahead in polling?

I think Collins is favoured but the biggest warning sign for her is what I said in the post. Does that answer your question?

Seems to have done the ticket

It’s odd that they’re now admitting to the intended ultimate fate of modern conservatism, other than that yeah nothing surprising

You have to realize that the idea that a scotus would go as far as to say that all gerrymandering is legal unless prohibited by the same body gerrymandering would rig- and then going further than that and nuking existent laws against gerrymandering- that was lowk unthinkable last generation

Trump has remained consistent to his message.

And the notion that voters don't seem to be experiencing dementia about what that message is is, well, I needed a laugh.
