I know about the ginned up outrage dragged up by the Mills campaign. The dozens of years ago old Reddit posts that Platner responded to head on, explained, and I have seen him with women around him and he doesn’t act like a misogynist. He doesn’t try to justify the comments and denounces them. He does explain the mindset at the time he wrote them. A man in a male dominated macho military infantry unit who had been in combat was letting off steam in writing, not acting physically. He doesn’t believe that stuff now but the internet is a forever machine. He has changed from that angry young man into a thoughtful adult. If I were in Maine I could clearly see what he brings to the table vrs what Mills does. I strongly support Platner. Hugs
Platner Is CRUSHING Maine’s Senate Primary
Scottie's Playtime 
Well, it’s Maine’s election, so it’s their decision. That said, the misogyny situation is not ginned up. Things have happened, some recently. Everyone who is concerned should do their own research and make their own decisions. It’s still a world where no one believes women even when they have DNA evidence (not saying that’s this situation so relax!) and that offends most thinking women.
I know Janet Mills is old. And she’s not a big liberal, but neither is Platner. Thing is, we know Janet Mills’s work. Platner is unprove, and no one wants another situation like we got with Fetterman. Personally, I haven’t seen enough of him addressing the situations in which Platner has put himself that have upset women, nor have I seen remorse. The guys who are pushing him because he’s young just want us to let it go and wait and see. I’m not in Maine, so it doesn’t matter how I feel about it. Except that we should not build up men who want to run for office, excuse them when “things” come up, then end up, again, with a Jon Fetterman or a Bill Clinton.
Meanwhile, there are worse guys running as Dems when they’re actually Republican and have reported to their donors that they will perform as the Republicans they are. That story showed up for a day or two, (not on MR,) and then sort of petered out. Lets have more journalism about that!
