This means he can be replaced with another Democrat

Per the NYT

Graham Platner can be replaced as the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine if he withdraws from the race by next Monday, and state law would then give the state Democratic Party until July 27 to name a replacement.

    Why are people still posting to X?

    The crashes who owns it has been caught manipulating everything about the service, and he’s an overt Nazi.

        Excuse me. That is an establishment Democrat conspiracy and p-hustle ACTUALLY only had a roman salute tattoo for those twenty years of ensuring the abuse of folk at Abu Ghraib, murdering folk for blackwater, and raping women left and right.

        Hasn’t poor graham suffered enough?

      I don’t see the problem. It’s just a pirate tattoo. There’s no proof he knew what it meant when he got it. He can’t be an Nazi because he says progressive things. This is just the establishment Democrats like Chuck Schumer trying to smear him because they’re afraid of the things he’s advocating for.

      Whoops! I had two scripts printed out on my desk and got them confused. Let’s see here…

      If anybody is baffled by how Republicans can watch a guy perform a sieg heil twice on live TV and be fine with it, it’s literally the exact same justifications that people are using all over this and other threads.

        Whoops! I had two scripts printed out on my desk and got them confused.

        Woah Woah Woah. What’d I tell you about blowing cover like that?! You’re on verry thin ice buddy!

        You think this job’s bad? Hah! One more slip-up like that and I’ll swap your sorry ass with a clanker, and you’ll go to work with the team downstairs instead.

        What exactly do they do, you ask?

        Their job is to spy on monitor those suckers we tricked into buying those brand new pervert glasses! (Sounds like fun, right? Hah! LMAO)

        fr tho, we’re just making sure everything’s ok with the new product, and copping a feel for our customer satisfaction levels (lel) by maintaining an invisible presence inside beside our most valuable customers! EXCITING STUFF!!

        There’s a reason we do that kind of work in the basement: no windows to jump out of after you’ve spent 12 straight hours living vicariously through your very own randomly-selected psycho! Seeing exactly what he sees! Viddy-ing his little world in 4k with your eyes propped open, Ludovico style! God I love that movie

        Don’t worry, we have plenty of eye drops, but look, our customers are some very sick individuals!!

        (Is it bad that I find that a little exciting?)

        You think you’ve plumbed the lowest depths of the human condition?! Well lemme tell ya - by the end of the day we’ll have you trawling the human condition’s Mariana Trench! You’ll be doing verry important work, gathering super valuable (hnng) footage, err, insights. Hehe, ya. But you might wish you never had eyes to begin with! You’ll beg to forget!! (Don’t worry, we’re investing in that one next!)

        Straighten up!

        XOXO 💋

        Your Boss,

        -Mark
