there are millions of people qualified to run for office in Maine, who don’t have a history of nazi tattoos or sex pestery
And where are they? They’re not in office, that’s for sure. And they’re also not running.
Why is that? It’s one thing to bitch about a dearth of candidates, but before Trump and throughout American history it was often the case that any big race had at least half a dozen candidates at minimum, often more. And a federal Senate seat is a big race.
So where are all the candidates?
Look to the two-party political establishment itself for that: the closer you look at how they get and keep power, the more you’ll see all the ways, large and small, in which they have made maintaining that Senate seat in donor-purchased hands far more important than the interests of their voters.
Somehow, Platner has gotten past all that. There should be more candidates, sure. But don’t go blaming a first-time candidate for what is just another symptom of the sick system he is running to change.
You’re replying to shit you pulled out of your own ass and huffed a week and a half after Platner won the primary.
Maybe that’s just when you peaked in life because I see you’re now replying ten days late to everyone who told you how wrong you are, but your line “Hey, if your heartfelt belief is that every eligible Democratic candidate is a nazi then guess we’re fucked and there’s no hope” has nothing to do with me or anything I wrote.
It’s ALL you. Own it, son. The rest of us have moved on. Platner won.
