    I know it’s a high bar, but I hope he is less rapey, not a dino, don’t take bribes (AIPAC), and works for his constituents.

      Trying to beat Susan Collins?

      I think you underestimate the hatred for the Republican party in this country. Every single time someone fills a tank of gas they are more likely to vote for anyone that doesn’t have an R next to their name on the ballot.

      Removing a zionist Republican is not pointless. These people decide if bombs drop on children in Gaza when they go to vote. It’s never pointless to do what we can to remove one vote from that.

        But Platner never dropped the race. So he is splitting the vote into two.

            He stopped campaigning. He never dropped out.

              No, he dropped out. Your understanding of the race is out of date. Why do you think the Democratic party would be electing delegates for a nomination slot that wasn’t vacant?

              I’m not even sure what a RCP polling page is supposed to indicate.

      Why would this be pointless?
