Ok everyone is right. I amend this statement to say Fuck Susan Collins. Fuck people who keep voting for her. Maine is a blue state but it does keep electing an awful person to the senate. Overall my sympathy for red states is still 0, but Maine is not a red state. I have anger issues. I lashed out.
I confess that I don't follow Maine politics closely. I'm obsessed with the national nonsense. (I live in Maine, born and bred.) That Moderate business may have been useful to Maine in days past. Remember, politicians blue and red, don't care about us. I'm 73 and still have anger issues. USA sucks.
There’s a home girl thing that goes a long way. Angus is from VA and lives in Southern Maine. Collins is native from up north, while her last opponent is from away and lives less than 20 miles from Angus. The regionalism is huge plus she is two degrees max from every white person in the state.
Maine is not a red state. Northern Maine assholes represented by Collins are NOT the majority. To be included on a list with states like Mississippi and Alabama is outrageous. Our Governor Mills (D) is rejecting the executive orders on gender.
Me, too and I live in one. Run us into the ground- it's the only way people here are going to learn. Take all the federal funds away from social services. I can't wait to hear all the crying from the Trumpers and from our pathetic AG who is suing COSTCO over DEI now. 🤬
Whoah dude… this is not a red state. Yea, the northern hillbillies keep voting for her but the majority of Mainers want her gone as well. This is what happens when you have voting districts that fall along educational and economic lines.
I’m all about forgiveness. The dishonorable Susan Collins, who I have never voted for, got a letter explaining that she should try to redeem herself from me because I was mad, too. Let’s keep fighting together! Remember there are allies in every state, no matter how red.
There are also strong pockets of MAGA & Trump lovers in blue states! I live in rural California. Surrounded by racists, bigots and major Republican donors. I know all about being part of the resistance while surrounded by people who talk about calling immigration all the time.
Southern & coastal Maine are mostly blue (and more heavily populated), but I live where the population is 99% white, people are older & set in their ways, and they don’t understand that their lack of understanding leads to intolerance, even when they can’t see it. Super frustrating for sure
This is going to get my on my rural vs. urban kick. I believe there are major issues with rural communities versus urban communities that are greater than red vs. blue. Lack of education, resources and internet in rural communities leads to easily manipulated people.
That’s why our other senator is an independent and both representatives are democrats? Her last election she didn’t receive 51% of the votes and these numbers did not include people who did not vote for the seat or at all. I fail to see where you’re getting your info.
Yep. The only way to deal with a bully is to fight back. Appeasing Trump will never, ever, work. Canada should shut it all down and make Americans suffer - no electricity, gas, etc.
Agree. Any hardships aquired in USA with insane tariffs will be blamed on Canada and Mexico.
Cheetolinni will not ever take any responsibility for the mess.
I don't think we'll have elections again as we did in the past. United States is coming apart at the seams. A lot of change is coming. Seccession or dissolution of America is probably in the future before 'mid-terms' at this rate.
But Maine isn’t a red state and not everyone voted for Susan Collins. I certainly didn’t.
We’re very much a purple state now, and one of the reasons she continues to fold like a cheap suit when it comes to Trump and the #AmericanFascistParty is that she knows she’s now under threat of being ousted.
Tell them that climate change is making our winters more mild and the summers are going to be nice for awhile still. And we have a democratic-lead state government that is genuinely trying to make Maine an inclusive, vibrant, prosperous state. Oh, and Canada is there for a quick exit, if needed! 😉
Yes, my daughter, S-i-L and grandson are in Maine. They are lefties and recently moved from one town to another. Sold their house to a gay couple who moved from TX.
Stop with the "fuck Maine", please, as many of us, who aren't even in her district are battling to get her out. You, need us, we need each other, and, yes, fuck Susan Collins!

Just saying

So let’s not condemn everyone in Maine as irredeemable idiots.
But thanks for accepting that many of us in Maine are fighting to make it an inclusive, compassionate, prosperous state!
Hopefully our Democrat-led government stays in power in the next election to continue that work in earnest.
And then we successfully recruited their very close friends (also new friends to us) to move their family to Maine a few months ago.
And we’re trying for more!
