with all the people in the state they couldn't find anyone better than a blackwater merc with a nazi tatto and someone who would lose to a guy with a nazi tattoo?

Guessing you've never visited Maine? Finding someone willing to cover up their Nazi tattoo was prob a hard find.

There's actually a woman running in this race who doesn't seem half bad but the Bernie people threw everything behind Platner because he's a troop.

Andrea Laflamme

She still seems kinda liberal but I'm pretty confident that she's never murdered any Iraqis.

Also it should be incredibly shameful that the state AFL-CIO and the SEIU local didn't get behind their own member running for office.

I know who some of the people are in the leadership of maine’s AFL-CIO and they are the lowliest liberal imperialist scum you can imagine. I haven’t heard of Laflamme until now. She says she “was” married to a medic while he was deployed to afghanistan so she has my support for dumping him while he was over there.
