Usually, these are sanctimonious people who never have anything good to say about Democrats, and for whom winning elections is strictly a TERTIARY concern. Very low priority. The ideological purity is all that matters. Losing is fun, and it feels good when it's done right, seems to be the mantra.

To be clear, I've read some great takes from those who oppose Platner on principle, which I do actually respect. This isn’t about them.

And while I can't claim to be a Platner enthusiast, I am an avowed hater of Susan Collins. So she needs to go. And I'd donate money to a ham sandwich if I thought it could beat Collins.
