In reply to the discussion: Graham Platner Owes You Nothing: You Either Want Democrats To Control The Senate Or You Don't [View all]Quiet Em
(3,153 posts)45. Ro Khanna even said that Platner should apologize
"He should apologize. I believe what he did was wrong, was misogynistic, was toxic or volatile. I know hes ashamed of it and I certainly think it would be appropriate to apologize and say how he now understands why its important to stand up to a misogynistic culture. - Ro Khanna at Platner's rally
and then there is Bernie Sanders when asked if he was given assurances that nothing else would drop
I didnt get any assurances, all right? Sanders replied.

meanwhile AOC does not want to wade into this at all
I really just wanted to stay out of this Platner fight until the primary votes were counted and the result was definitive, but this podcast guy being brought into the forum discussion, whose message is politically stupid, unhelpful and is being used to create unneccessary division is not something I will ignore.
Platner is the very likely Democratic nominee for Maine Senate. We need a high turnout and every vote we can get to win this seat in the general election. Maine Democrats are not going to vote for Susan Collins. Why piss any of them off on purpose?
