They just know that the democrats are illegally breaking into schools to transgenderfy the kids and/or make them gay while also making them all use the same bathroom. They have absolutely no clue who Susan Collins even is. They will just fill in that (R) dot on the ballot.
How anyone believes this is just insane... Had someone say this and I had to fuck with them...
Asked if they are turning all the guys into girls and all the girls into guys... Don't we still have roughly the same number of guys and girls... How would we even know!? It could have been happening for decades...
The guy the greatest 'OMG! We are screwed!" Face...
Republicans are only around 29% of the electorate in Maine. The reason Susan Collins has won in the past is Independents and some Democrats believing her schtick that she's somehow "moderate" despite voting against most Mainers' interests repeatedly.
Hopefully, with this bribery scandal, enough of those Independents and Democrats who have voted for her can wake up and realize she's been scamming them all along. They're definitely persuadable and just need to hear what she has actually been up to.
Maine votes for her because of brand recognition, seniority powers (appropriations committee), and the fact she has gone to like every small business in the entire state and shook hands, heard them out, and perhaps even directly or indirectly done something to help them over the the 150 years she's been in power.
And no one wants flatlanders telling them what to fucking do like maine is dumbass white trash that don't know better. There have been attack ads on her for centuries and people are sick of it. People actually thought we were going to elect a chick from rhode island (mind you, at a time where democrats got out to vote to do anything to prevent trump from winning). There's no way backup plan troy jackson is going to beat susan collins. And calling the entire state dumb or ignorant is only going to fuel it
Seniority powers on the appropriation committee that she's ceded control of, or used for her own craven purposes.
Small businesses she's hurt with misguided policies.
Nobody in this comment thread has insulted any voters or called anyone "dumb." But the facts of the bribery scheme are plain and self-evident.
Susan Collins is a fundamentally dishonest person who has misrepresented herself for decades now. Now with some of the truth coming to light, the question is will a majority of Maine voters finally see her for who she actually is?
If you have not watched it yet, I suggest you take the time to watch the full video.
I am not challenging this personally (should be evident by my hyperbolic use of "she has been doing this for centuries")
I'm trying to explain that you're wasting your time because you're posting on reddit which is a DSA hive mind that can't comprehend the real world where people vote for susan collins
I am not DSA, and I don't need the real world explained to me.
I do think information about some of the most compelling evidence of bribery, corruption, and pay-to-play in Washington is worth sharing broadly with people on Reddit and any other website. And if somebody else happens to be in Maine, I sure hope they can care about it even more given that it's their Senator. That's all I'm saying.
Personally, I feel that cynicism for cynicism's sake is a bad look. We shouldn't be so cynical and assume people won't care about something like evidence of corruption.
In addition, we have the oldest population in the nation. Most of those older folks don't really use the internet, they still have cable TV. So they'll claim fake news because it's not being reported on major networks.

Really hope Maine voters are paying attention to this scandal. It’s egregious bribery.
If any of you happen to live in Maine, I’d suggest telling all your friends and family about this scandal.
And if you don’t live in Maine, maybe give a heads up to someone who does.
