Democrats break with scandal-plagued Graham Platner, warn of 'civil war' in party
Former Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa said moderate Democrats 'will not cry tears should we lose Maine'

….questions about whether he is the right choice to take on Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, have exploded.

Much of that is fueled by scandals that have cropped up seemingly week after week, be it a tattoo on his chest of a Nazi symbol or inflammatory posts online.

Some in the Democratic Party warn that it’s spurring a "civil war" between the moderate and left wings of the party.

Melissa DeRosa, former New York Mayor Andrew Cuomo’s chief of staff, told Fox News’ Bret Baier that Platner’s rise and ensuing questions of his fitness as a candidate are demonstrative of the bubbling conflict within the Democratic Party.

"The main race really demonstrates the civil war that's happening within the Democratic Party, and there are a lot of Democrats, moderate Democrats like myself, who will not cry tears should we lose Maine," DeRosa said. "I mean, that would be a pickup to begin with."

…Still, his unearthed Reddit posts — ranging from bashing a soldier shot by the Taliban to masturbating in portable toilets — have unleashed fresh scrutiny from both the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and Democrats alike….

……top Democrats in both the House and Senate, including Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., were quiet after being recently pressed by Fox News Digital on their backing of Platner.

Former Biden press office chief of staff Yemisi Egbewole told Fox News’ Bill Melugin that Democrats, particularly those who support Platner, have to answer for his behavior.

"I think when we're talking about moral clarity and what we want to see from Democrats, I think he is an issue," Egbewole said.

"I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying," Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., told CNN. "I hope Maine voters agree with me. I think it would be a mistake for the Democratic Party to think that Graham Platner's brand of the Democratic Party is what wins us durable majorities throughout this country."

And Michael LaRosa, former spokesperson for former first lady Jill Biden, lauded Auchincloss for having "actual guts" to call for a better candidate in the race.

When asked if there was a growing issue with antisemitism in his party by CNN, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said "absolutely," and singled out Platner as an example.

"I mean, the guy that's going to win the primary in Maine … has a Nazi tattoo on his chest, and that's no problem for a lot of voters," Fetterman said. "So I don't know why. That's crazy."

Yep. The DNC foot soldiers (like Schumer) feel super threatened by Platner and any progressives right now.

Platner’s about as Nazi as Zalensky.

Lol for 18 years he had a big NAZI Totenkopf (Deaths Head) tattoo on his chest, then claims he didn’t know what it meant. It’s probably the 2nd most recognized NAZI symbol outside the swastika, and to not know what it was one would have to be ignorant of WWII history to the level of ‘Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” So lol if you think he know what it was I’ve got some oceanfront property in Idaho to sell you.

Most widely recognized Nazi symbols:
1) Swastika
2) SS Runes
3) Nazi Eagle
4) Iron Cross
5) Totenkopf

And it's a distant 5th.

There are definitely concerns with Platner but a drunken 23 y/o could definitely now know what a Totenkopf was.

The irony of a MAQA yahoos who defended/deflected whiskeyleak's Christofascist crusader tattoos bringing up Platner's tattoos as an issue is rich.

-The SS Runes are double digit # of symbols which includes the swastika. Most of them most people wouldn’t recognize from Adam. But one of those runes, the double SS Lightning bolt (Doppelte Sig-Run) you could argue is more recognizable than the Totenkof.
-The NAZI eagle is recognizable WITH THE SWASTIKA as part of the symbol. Without the swastika, it’s just an eagle.
-The Iron Cross is a German military medal dating back to the early 19th century. It is widely recognized as a NAZI symbol WITH THE SWASTIKA included in it. Without the Swasktika it isn’t seen as a Nazi symbol. The Iron Cross is still used as a symbol by the Bundeswehr. They still use it today on their vehicles, aircraft, etc. And in Germany the display of NAZI symbols are strictly verboten.

So most recognizable:
1. Swastika (and symbols that contain the Swastika, like the eagle & Iron Cross, because they contain the swastika.
2/3. Double lightning bolt
2/3. Totenkopf (and yes I know it was used going back to the days of piracy)

And sure a drunken 23 year old jarhead might not know what a Totenkof was even though he was getting a big Totenkof tat on his chest. But a sober 41 year old sure as heck would. Bottom line if you think he went around for 18 years with that on his chest and had no idea the whole 18 years, never bothered to take a couple min to find out, then I have some oceanfront property in Iowa to sell you.

The SS lightening bolts are what I meant by the SS Runes and they are much more recognizable than the Totenkopf.

• First - Swastika (and symbols that contain the Swastika).
• Distant Second - Double lightning bolt
• It's a speck on the horizon so far away that you can barely see it Third - Totenkopf

No mention of pete Puma's Christofascist crusader tatttoos?

Federal court blocks Alabama from using GOP-drawn congressional map

A three-judge panel Tuesday blocked a Republican-drawn congressional map in Alabama from going into effect, writing that the district lines “intentionally discriminated based on race in violation of the Constitution.”
...
“The Legislature well knew that a plan without an additional Black-opportunity district would dilute Black Alabamians’ opportunity to participate in the political process, and it intentionally enacted that very plan,” the panel wrote. “Further, the Legislature well knew what dilutive mechanisms would prevent Black voters in Alabama’s Black Belt and Gulf Coast communities from having any opportunity to elect representatives of their choice, and the Legislature employed precisely those mechanisms.”
...
But the map was originally challenged under both the Voting Rights Act and the 14th Amendment, and the court confirmed it still stood by its ruling that it violated the 14th Amendment.

Platner is addition to the NAZI tattoo for 18 years, said on Reditt (he doesn’t dispute the posts):
-Asks why black people don’t tip.
-Blames women who are raped for being drunk.
-Talks about jerking off in a porta potty. Potty.
-Says he’s a communist.
-Says all cops are bastards.
-Bashes a solider shot by the Taliban.

Yeah, he’s going to go over real well in the Maine general election..

Ah yes…the commie/socislust/progressive oyster farming, small town planning activist Nazi. The worst kind of Nazi!

Yeah…go with that one.

lol his above statements are all online. Not going to go well once more hear about them.

As as far as the polls, 2020 almost all of them were fake. 2020 one poll after June poll had Collins tied, the other several dozen had her losing. And she won by about 9.

Pontius paxton's baggage is available online as well. If it's not "going to go well" for platner but paxton should win, must mean that Maine voters are more discerning and have higher ethics then texastine voters.

And MAQA is a tala-freaking out because someone told miller to f'ing shut up.

I wish political rhetoric hadn't sunk to this low level but MAQA has no one to blame but themselves. They cheer when trump and other MAQA yahoos do it but get their panties in a wad when it's used against them. Snowflakes can dish it out but can't take it.

They said it never happens but it keeps happening

"A dead person voting, that you're actually aware that they're dead, is the easiest voter fraud to find. It's like somebody leaning over the cash register and grabbing the cash out of the till," Grogan told Fox News Digital. "But the complicated stuff, the behind-the-scenes stuff, that’s something that is harder to find … This is a one-off incident and if fraudsters do it right, it could be many, many more votes like this."

Election integrity advocate Jason Snead, who runs the Honest Elections Project, added that the Bolton case "plainly shows that voter fraud occurs."

"Mail ballots are especially vulnerable, which is why they should be secured, should never be mailed without a specific request from the voter, and should always be verified before they are tabulated. This case also shows how essential it is to maintain clean voter rolls," Snead said. "Had the list maintenance process been slower, it is possible this illegal vote would have been counted before the fraud was discovered. Unfortunately, too many states — particularly blue states — actively resist commonsense safeguards, which begs the question: how many other illegal votes have slipped through the system?"

I’m no fan of the career RINO Collins, but I realize only a RINO could get elected in Maine. Maine is to the left of TX, or TX is to the right of Maine, by around 20 points. 2024 Trump won TX by about 14; Harris won Maine by about 7. Platner has a better chance in Maine than Talarico does in TX.

Maine voters might be just as willing to overlook Platner's youthful mistakes as texastine voters are to overlook Pontius paxton's corruption and moral baggage.

Collins is more Republican then the people who call her a RINO. MAQA Republicans are not the only Republicans and non-MAQA Republicans are not automatically RINOs any more that Manchin and Sinema were DINOs.

Massie makes trump and MAQA look like RINOs - opposing foreign wars, voting against legislation that will negatively impact the deficit/debt, fighting for justice for victims of heinous crimes, etc. Republicans used to care about those things.

Massie used to say he was for a secure border, criticized Biden for his open border. Then Massie voted with Democrats to defund ICE, defund border security, and defund the Department of Homeland Security.

Massie says he's for honest elections, but votes against the Save America Act requiring U.S. citizenship and a valid photo ID to vote.

What ICE/CBP were doing in the interior of the country (Portland, Chicago, Minneapolis, etc.) had nothing to do with "securing" the border. A legislator could support the later, be against the former and vote not to fund DHS as a result.

The SAVE act isn't just about honest elections and a legislator could vote against while still supporting honest elections.

Why is protecting the sexual predators in the epstein files so important to trump and MAQA?
