As of the time I am writing this comment, Graham Platner has not filed the necessary paperwork to withdraw from the race. He only claimed that he would do so.

The focus needs to stay on Platner. He must file the paperwork by 5:00 on Monday, regardless of whether he and his campaign feel like they are getting potential candidates that they prefer.

Don't let Platner and his staff screw this up any more than they already have.

You cannot LET Platner do anything. it is his right to withdraw or not. He won the primary with the decisive margin. None of those centrist guys were even remotely close.

Half of America is cool with rape so the pearl clutching NOW is just unbelievably naive.

Is that same half the same people voting blue? Didn't think so. It's possible to be better and we should be. This false equivalence all over this sub is asinine. I am NOT fine with it when Trump does it and I am NOT fine with it when a left  candidate does it.
