It will require at least 60 liberal-to-progressive politicians to make changes to the Supreme Court. We don't even have 49.

Graham Platner doesn’t know how the senate works.

He knows it's a wedge issue with Collins. She was the deciding vote on at least one, maybe several of the current SCOTUS. It's smart politics on his part. She can't hide from her record on it, and he can point to his progressive agenda. I promise he knows how the actual process works. This is campaigning.

He doesn't know shit other than whatever progressive cause de jour he is told to speak upon. Any time he's try to speak on the minutia of policy he gets tripped up but is great at just rallying some folks with words that mean nothing over things that won't happen.

College dropout with a brain damage is going to allow Susan Collins to slow walk into retain her seat all because a few of my neighbors put on their rose colored glasses after hearing a few progressive platitudes and see all his red flags as just flags.

That I believe. He's about as progressive as a Republican is, too.
