There are multiple people still running against him, although he is the heavy favorite and is the only one talked about by the media. I’ve seen people pushing for David Costello, who supports M4A as well as much if not all of the same progressive policies as Platner while not being 80 red flags in a trenchcoat.
Maine primary voting date is June 9th.
With the unit price going way up by selling a 10 pack of slices for the cost of a bottle of ketchup, somebody probably got a promotion for this idea.
Meanwhile, a core component of most government workers at all levels is to disseminate information to the public.
Nice to see the ceasefire holding firm. 🤦♂️
And as long as the republican led congress doesn’t fight it, he is effectively right. Complete breakdown of checks and balances.
By getting someone like me arguing with someone like yogthos about whether Biden (who neither of us even like) would have done something in his second term that he didn’t even run for. This entire topic is moot.
So spend your time criticizing those two things, as opposed to a thing that he did not do but cbs claims maybe he would have. Which of course is also ignoring the fact that he wasn’t even on the final ballot.
And yet, nowhere during Biden’s term did he start a war with Iran. Look, I really don’t want to be put in the position of defending Biden, but some guy years later saying maybe if things had worked out a certain way something would have had to be done is just shitty media running cover for what Trump is actually doing. This is a cbs show trying to help push the narrative that Trump put out there of ‘they all wanted to do it and only I had the balls.’
There are countless reasons to attack the Biden administration, but focusing on stupid shit like this is pointless and only serves to divide the left and to bolster Trumps bullshit claims.
He says that should Iran develop nuclear capabilities then they possibly would have had to take action, and then he specifically calls out that the current war of aggression is wrong. That isn’t the same position as what you are pushing.
That’s not what he said at all.
The media absolutely loves Platner, and for the same reasons they love Trump. He is a rich white male who elicits incredibly strong pisitive/negative reactions, with a long history of controversies and who makes bombastic statements. Generally speaking, he’s great for their ratings.
