I hope he brings down the entire machine that targeted him with an enormous civil lawsuit.

So ultimately Mainers in particular, and Americans in general are the victims of any slander or libel as well.

i read that collins’ camp was licking their chops. maybe dems knew what collins knew.

besides, the dude was a phony. ‘blue collar’ my shiny metal ass. he’s a nepo baby. he was gonna lose.

Nepo babies seldom serve in the military much less so in combat.

Platner was a 1st time candidate winning 72% of the vote many of them former voters of Collins in previous elections.

Collins didn't want to face him anymore than *rump wanted to face Bernie in 2016.

The snakes with self proclaimed Democratic skins will slither away. As I’ve repeatedly said, you can’t just accuse someone of rape and have no proof to back it up. Where did the Politico reporter get - if they actually exist - any of the votes or texts or phone records claimed to have been kept? How is it possible that a self proclaimed progressive lawyer be involved in not just Platner, but Swalwell and others? There is no reason for any man to ever trust a word anyone in the Democratic party says. Will the Democratic Party ever even try to apologize to Platner and his family?

Not that most of us know what power is, but it seems addictive. Destructive.

I always thought Platner was going to be taken down, one way or another. No Democratic candidate has ever said the things he did or built such a movement opposed to the status quo.

Swalwell was allowed to run amok for years and no one did a damn thing. For Platner, it was all hands on deck in a coordinated attack. Just as Platner said.

Those responsible may not be celebrating their "win" for long. Though they seem to be still at it with the new crop, the signs are already showing.
