8. My favorite thing about the Platner issue is one particular poster's obsession with him.
Easily one of the most sanctimonious people on this forum. Someone who never has 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 to them. Losing is fun, and it feels good when it's done right, seems to be their mantra.

To be clear, there are some great posters here who oppose Platner on principle which I totally 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.
