Worse. At this rate of the dems emulation of the republican party this will make him the presidential front runner. Especially since there's undoubtedly other skeletons they can use to control him better than newsom
Platner could have won and nothing would have changed. USian politics is all kayfabe. They're all on the same side, even if they play it up when the cameras are rolling. The Democratic Party will always have a few "defectors" to keep them from passing legislation, by design; if those representatives are replaced, someone else will fill the role. You can't vote your way out of a corrupt system.
It's win win for the dnc, either get their preference in or can go see they can't win like we said!
The question is still is this incompetence on vetting platner or them seeing how bad a candidate can be and win simply by being white and saying Medicare For All
the normal "protests" (i assume we're talking about violent riots here because that's what's typically meant in communities such as this one) and boycotts don't give you cheap college though. they do give you cheap housing if you consider prison a form of housing. i'm not sure about healthcare. (/s)
You realize most people criticizing him are not from Maine. I’ve never even been to Maine. If I wanted to vote for him, or anyone else in Maine, I literally could not. Replacing Platner is your burden. I’m criticizing those who claim to be in my party.

I hope this means I won’t have to hear about this guy or Maine’s senate race anymore.

Centrists are taking their victory lap. Collins will not be defeated by someone running as a progressive after decades of centrist failures.
The Senate will remain in Republican hands.
Centrists are so happy that a democratic candidate has rape allegations.

Well I personally think you're wrong about one point. I think it should be "United State American" so abbreviation should be Usan and Usans.

No you don't understand.
If US citizens want cheap college and healthcare it's a choice between either racist murder sprees, or joining normal protests and boycotts.
Literally an unpickable choice! /s

Did they manage to find the first American in Maine who isn't a Nazi mass murder and/or Zionist yet?

How about Arwen? She's charismatic, has no hate for anyone, and needs a place to live. I'm sure she'd be a great candidate.

Legitimate question: what is wrong with you? Is it too much jubilee debate stuff? You donate to dems, is that what you mean?
