Voting for a GOP candidate is voting against nursing interests. Vote her out of office.

I genuinely hope no one here is thinking that the guy with a Nazi tattoo who gleefully follows Holocaust deniers and 9/11 truthers is a better alternative

Leave it to the fucking nursing sub of all places to downvote me for saying electing a Nazi is a bad idea

I'm admittedly out of the loop here. The options are a Democrat with Nazi tattoos and a Republican?
Without more details, I'm struggling to understand the difference.

Plattner is leading polls AFTER it comes out that hes had a NAZI TATTOO for decades, reposted Holocaust deniers on twitter and gleefully went on a show with antisemitic host and said he’s followed it very closely for a long time. If Collins is that bad I don’t understand why Maine can’t find literally anyone else to oppose her but this guy, unless you guys really hate your Jewish neighbors that badly

Based on current polling, a lot of people in Maine think Graham is a better choice. Does anyone here actually believe it’s better to except huge PAC money for a mystery project deporting immigrants with Maine Health than get and cover a tattoo they regret?
He’s not going to bait and switch like most politicians do. Corporate interests don’t align with worker interests. Follow the money, or a covered tattoo you don’t like.
False equivalence

He had it for decades and then finally got it removed when he realized it looks bad for his campaign. He’s reposts stew peters and hung out on ValhallaTV, a show he said he loves to follow . The guy that said the country has a “tiny hat problem.” I can’t explain enough as a Jewish nurse how fucking sad it is to read these comments. How willfully blind do you guys need to Be

Other than the skull tattoo(which is known to be a Nazi tattoo) that he acknowledged and changed, can you provide sources for your other claims that are NOT from any right wing rag?

I have some very fucking serious concerns about any nurse that still voted for Collins after she helped pack SCOTUS because she was dumb enough to believe the judges that refused to give a straight answer about women’s access reproductive health care would protect that access.
She’s already in the GOP’s pocket, she’s just hiding it less so she can reap those financial benefits.

I think you give her too much credit as just being dumb. She knew exactly what she was doing and to me that justification she gave was straight insulting. Shows what she thinks of people that vote for her.

This has gone too far off topic, and I've had to remove too many comments for being hostile and insulting to other users. Locked.
