Why Sanders push for Platner's exit is a Democrat setback

Democrats were OK with his N*zi tattoo though. That's disturbing.

Bernie " Sanders" is a disgrace that is the gift that keeps on giving to the Republicans

sanders has been a blow to dems for...years now YOU DO REALIZE how many replacements for Platner have "ENDORSED BY BERNIE SANDERS" embalzoned on their signs.....

ANYONe with even an ounce of political 'knowledge" KNOWS it is the kiss of DEATH for any "outsider" to interfere in Maine elections. The lefties here were all hyped on how Platner...the "working class" prep school guy from...nowhere...had no outside ties...and yet...Sanders, Warren, and the like all salivating over this guy (if gives me GREAT plwasure to think that Warren knows she groped the hand of a guy who...groped.... A setback???? The guy is a replay of the Harris-Walz fiasco...they were NO adequately vetted and the Dems have BLOWN...BUHLOWN...the chance to unseat Collins. Way top go....

Democrats now rich Socialists that want to keep the poor poor and stay rich ahhhhh Communism!!!!! Socialism for the rest of them Capitalism for them

Did NOTSEE that coming. Platner was Bernie's & Pocahontas' boy. Bernie is a fraud anyhow. Over 35 years in Congress and passed 7 bills. 5 of which were renaming Post Offices and other ceremonial junk. Couldn't hold a job until he got into politics.

It's not. The Dems "set back" is being as power hungry as GOP & not really bringing anyone up the ranks.

if sanders can be in office than Anything can be in office. A 10lb bag of fertilizer can be in office.

Elon paid off Bernie to pull his support

These feckless Dems are suppose to the ones to save America. Imagine if you actually lose 2028 despite all that Trump has done.

I think moving away from Platner so quickly without hearing Platner’s side is not the right thing to do

Troy Jackson sounds promising. His life story was also a struggle, but he has already proven himself in government. I understand that his ideas are very progressive. He's older, though, and may not be as dynamic a speaker. He rose from an underprivileged childhood, overcame obstacles, and succeeded. Bernie Sanders endorsed Jackson in his recent run for governor.
Any Mainers out there? What do you think?

Didn't Dems already pull this on guy running for CA governor?

It is interesting that Bernie catches no flack eventhough the reporter says Platner is Bernie's protege.

Why aren't the Democrats aren't doing a deep background check on their candidates.

Now they get to pick who they want and nobody gets to vote … hmmm this sounds familiar for some reason ??? Why didn’t Bernie get the presidential nomination…

I don't remember Bernie asking Joe Biden to step down after he was accused of SA.

I'm confused. Why isn't this same bar held for everyone in office?

Platner is not a good candidate. He needs to step down.

This is the same party that said : "Hey, let's Harris to run against Trump " ..........somewhere Homer Simpson is saying ( DOOOOH)
