Susan Collins, who has been in the Senate for 29 years, has not missed a Senate vote in all that time, casting her 10,000th vote and setting a Senate record. And she is proud of it. Proud of voting for Brett Kavanaugh, who helped to overturn Roe v. Wade, proud of voting to send people to El Salvador to a prison where they were tortured, proud of funding ICE and backing Trump’s policies.
The Democratic candidate in Maine, Graham Platner, has done some stupid things, but if he is elected, he will not vote to support Trump’s authoritarian and fascist polices. Susan Collins, I’m sure, never got questionable tattoos and may never have posted stupid or nasty comments online, but she sure has done nothing of substance to fight the polices of Donald Trump. I am not impressed that she cast 10,000 votes. She is a disgrace.
