      >Sanders’ endorsement of the 40-year-old Platner comes at odds with others in the Democratic Party, who are reportedly hoping that the state’s 77-year-old Governor Janet Mills will enter the race instead.

      Awesome!!! More working class people in DC. Enough of Consultant Democrats and MAGA Republicans. Also look at Senate candidate from Nebraska, he almost defeated Republican candidate in 2024 while running as Independent and is running again in 26

      I can’t be the only one feeling pretty uneasy about that guy going to turn heel like Fetterman did once he is elected.

      Not that there is any other choice when the alternative is that fucking hag Susan Collins.

      How is it our most progressive senator is our oldest?

      Democrats should feel embarrassed, although I hope he’s got a good idea of who will take his place in his own state. Nature abhors a vacuum and all.

      Janet is only beating Susan Collins by 1 point, Graham is ahead of Collins by 12. But you already know who the party is putting their support behind.

      I wonder how Maine’s ranked choice voting will impact Graham Platner’s prospects in the primary and general elections.

      That tracks. Guy is willing to attack Democrats based on bullshit, of course Bernie loves him.

      Can someone give me a non cynical answer of why Bernie immediately endorsed this guy before anyone knows anything about him but waited ages to endorse Zohran?

      *Former* Marine.

      I’m sure I’m the 500th person to say that.

      The only ex-marines are JD Vance and Oswald.

      And the jury is out on Oswald, that was a good shot. Game recognizes game.

      What’s the reason for using that awful photo of him? Piece of shit article and reporter.

    18. Plow_King on

      i thought it was supposed to be „former“ or „retired“ marine…maybe „marine veteran“, but not „ex“?

      This Platner guy is asking all the questions the Uniparty doesn’t want you to ask

      When the Democratic Party keeps intentionally and knowing putting resources forward to stop candidates who actually inspire people and who actually want to change things for the better, they are telling you who they are.

      It’s indefensible. So when people defend it, you know they have no values and no morals.

      Sanders endorsed a **former/retired** marine, not an **ex**-marine. There’s a difference.

      Just so we’re all clear…

      Is he an oyster farmer who is popular or does he exclusively farm popular oysters? 🤔🦪

      An ex-Marine is dishonorably discharged. Former Marines are honorably discharged. How do news outlets constantly get that detail wrong?

    29. FlavorBlaster42 on

      Bernie’s endorsement carries zero weight outside of the kook fringe. Normal, reality-based liberals are going to do things our way for awhile. See if we can win some elections.

      A 77-year-old? What are they thinking? If ever there was a time for getting new blood into the ranks, this is it.

      I hope Trump starts talking shit to Platner. I’d love that line in the sand. Platner has got „it“

      >The growing grassroots campaign is so far eclipsing the Democrat push for Mills to run for the Senate seat. Mills recently told the Portland Press Herald that she is “seriously considering” running but that she is “not in any rush to make a decision.”

      She. Hasn’t. Even. Decided. To. Run. Yet. Shehasntdecidedtorunyet. And some Democrats are favoring her over him. He is all-in on this and has an obvious Sanders-esque potential steamroller behind him and yet some Democrats are making noises like they prefer someone who hasn’t even decided to run. I daresay they will change their minds if things keep going his way, but **they should fucking get behind him NOW**. Start acting like you want to actually fight back against ~~republicans~~ fascists by doing what the people want and not what you want. They’re supposed to tell you what to do and not the other way around.

    36. Emmerson_Brando on

      Is there a reason they can’t name him and only call him an oyster farmer?

    37. PurpleCrayonDreams on

      don’t worry. maine will vote in droves for susan collins.

      sad. but the establishment will protect her rather than endorse the new blood.

      it’s more than sad. she’s a POS.

    38. runnerofaccount on

      This is not reality, but if the democrats made Bernie the minority leader in the senate, the Democratic Party would go from all-time disliked to most liked in the last 30 years.

    40. emailforgot on

      the first time I saw him mentioned on reddit they referred to him as a „Maine oysterman“ and I initially thought that was his name.

      I would vote for a guy named Maine Oysterman

    41. Deceptiveideas on

      Why is no one talking about the thumbnail of Platner in the article is super stretched out lmao
