Democrats are about to pull a Joe Biden on Graham Platner.

Voters in the party no longer have a say. They rig primaries and force candidates to drop out against their will.

The party of “democracy” is the most undemocratic party imaginable. https://t.co/glVtAhCTyk

🇺🇸 DSA-backed Sen. candidate Graham Platner canceled ANOTHER campaign event, with no reason given.

This lines up as polls start testing other Dems against Susan Collins, and whispers grow about a potential new scandal that could force him out…

Platner has been the subject of significant controversy, ranging from his support of socialism and Hamas to his Nazi tattoo and even allegations of sexual abuse and bizarre rape fantasies. Republicans have pointed out that while Democrats have spent years calling Republicans Nazis, Democrats are backing a literal Nazi, as establishment Democratic figures, alongside others like Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders, have doubled down on their support for him.

Currently, prediction betting markets have shifted drastically, indicating that traders expect Platner to drop out of the race imminently.
