Apparently, Graham Platner really is the best Maine Democrats can do.

At least, according to progressive Democrat advocacy group Progressive Victory, the person considered most favored to replace Platner on the fall ballot, Troy Jackson, is not any better.

“We began asking our contacts on the ground in Maine about Troy Jackson earlier today after seeing many suggestions that he should replace Graham Platner against Susan Collins,” Progressive Victory said.

“In our discussions we have received troubling information about not only Jackson’s behavior, but the behavior of many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly,” it continued, revealing that Jackson allegedly struck a female colleague with a bottle. “Both as a result of the credibility of the sources and in the interest of not seeing our movement make the same mistake twice, we are choosing to share some of this now.”

“As Maine Senate President in a state senate caucus meeting several years ago, Troy Jackson in a heated disagreement struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her,” the group said. “There are many witnesses, and it appears this is a widespread open secret within Maine politics and not an isolated incident. This information is still developing and we will provide updates in a thread in the comments of this post as we receive it.”

What is it with Democrat men and this fixation on using women as punching bags?

Intentionally or not, Platner is doing an excellent job of airing a lot of Democrat dirty laundry.

We shouldn't really be surprised. Progressive Democrats hate America, and most seem to hate themselves as well. Democrats hating women these days seems almost cliche.

Graham Platner has not left Maine Democrats with any good options.

He wants to pick who gets his ballot slot when (not if) he withdraws.

Progressives in the state definitely want a radical progressive candidate.

Establishmentarians want someone “electable”, someone who’s main qualification is a high potential to unseat Susan Collins.
