I do not believe that Graham Platner was an advocate for the anti-Harris "Leave it Blank" movement. QueerDuck Wednesday #1

I see a lot of Dem establishment push back on Platner Easterncedar Wednesday #2

Yes, in the end, it will be the voters of Maine who make the decision... QueerDuck Wednesday #14

I don't disagree Easterncedar Wednesday #73

Platner is way more progressive than Mills Easterncedar Wednesday #80

I do not find anti-gay slurs, racist rhetoric, or violent misogyny or a lack of forthcomingness regarding the Totenkopf... QueerDuck Wednesday #94

Hm. MorbidButterflyTat Wednesday #103

As Democrats, we can do better and not leap for the first fellow that comes along with a high profile endorsement. QueerDuck Wednesday #105

Have you googled list of democrats who are endorsing Cuomo? Emile Wednesday #46

It's a pretty insignificant number Quiet Em Wednesday #50

So there are some, thanks. Emile Wednesday #52

Yeah, but outside of Eric Adams most people don't know who these very few people are Quiet Em Wednesday #54

Democrats who endorsed Cuomo other than Eric Adams are insignificant. Thanks Emile Wednesday #57

Well, I think Eric Adams is insignificant as well Quiet Em Wednesday #60

Together we discovered there are Democrats endorsing the Independent over the Democratic nominee. Emile Wednesday #61

Did you look at the list of Democrats endorsing Zohran Mamdani? Quiet Em Wednesday #62

Yes, thank goodness. I hate to think Democrats would endorse the Centrist Independent Cuomo over Emile Wednesday #64

Well, he is at odds with many Democratic positions, especially Israel Polybius Wednesday #114

I think, in this case the phrase "ganged up" actually means... QueerDuck Wednesday #7

That's for the voters to decide, isn't it? QueerDuck Wednesday #20

Platner's tattoo was 100% a Nazi symbol. Wiz Imp Wednesday #31

What I heard was he was claiming the issue was more nuanced than posters understood MadameButterfly Wednesday #48

Platner's tattoo photos are readily available on the internet. yardwork Wednesday #42

Who are the democrats ganging up on Mamdani? SocialDemocrat61 Wednesday #12

O come on MadameButterfly Wednesday #53

I think someone who doesn't call on Hamas... nycbos Wednesday #65

Bingo. QueerDuck Wednesday #96

Both the far left and the far right have a victim complex. nycbos Wednesday #36
