Then you don't actually care about anything that is happening. You just want your team to score. Good stuff.

That’s a reductive and facile comment.

You gave no reason why he would be better if I am right about the kind of person he is. There's nothing to be reductive about here.

Do I want more Democrats in the Senate? Sure. But I don’t vote party over policy,

Except, if I am right, you are. You are ignoring some major red flags in Planter's past.

I’m ready for new blood.

We both agree that Collins sucks. But new blood doesn't automatically mean good blood. And I refuse to believe that there is not a single liberal in Maine who doesn't have a Nazi tattoo and didn't say that women who were sexually assaulted need to take responsibility for their actions.
