His ads should begin with a series of clips of her saying that she is concerned. Then he should hammer home these points.

You, my friend, could have a career in politics…
Well, I taught AP English Language—rhetoric— for 31 years. As I told my students, it’s all about audience and purpose and figuring out how to craft a message to persuade the audience!
Okay so you're eminently qualified
Susan Collins IS a representative of the oligarchy. Thanks for sharing this Good news. It's about time
This is so true. No one is buying Susan Collins' act anymore. She knows what she's enabling. She knows what She's voting for. This is all happening with her full cooperation and assistance.
Agree with every word, but Maine voters knew all this the last time and she won by 8 points. Why do they like her?
Bet Sue is “concerned”
Thank You Bernie for giving your loud platform to good candidates and to all of us.
Caution... We witnessed big crowds and thunderous applause in 2024, and we lost the House and Senate majority, and the Presidency. Don't let the excitement lull you into a comfort zone while democracy is teetering on a dictatorship precipice. We need 49 more of this guy.
Susan Collins, call your office. And pick up some packing boxes on your way.
Really
No one does concerned better than Susan. Maine and the nation know the impact of her consternation.
💯% correct! Susan Collins is a sell out!
Inject this into my veins!
This. Is. How. To. CAMPAIGN.
Susan Collins on video during first campaign promising only to run 2 terms. She lied.
She’s a sniveling shitweasel.
I like this guy.
Criticizing one’s opponent is too easy. What is it, exactly, is Platner offering? Same tired socialistic rhetoric. Roe v. Wade is not even an issue. Abortions were never outlawed by SCOTUS edict. There are plenty of abortions performed in Blue States across the land.
I reckon Collins is very ‘concerned’ about the size of this crowd. Maybe she’s ‘learned her lesson’ about serving the people of her state instead of Trump and herself.
Not likely. Her response will just be to cheat harder, not to stop being a sex trafficking fascist cunt.
💙💙💙 she will never change. She has had plenty of chances to redeem herself and each time she chose the orange dictator
Susan Collins might renounce F47 now... that's he's for all intents and purposes, dead.
she'll help prop him up even after he gets really stinky
Nonetheless, it’s time to throw her out with last month’s catch. She’s dead, stinking, untrustworthy & unredeemable. She’s gotta go!
Democrats know Melania Trump is raising Barron because she doesn't want him to be raised by her husband. Barron is a Democrat that knows his father lost the electoral college to Joe Biden. Barron in front of his father shook Joe Biden's hand his father's inauguration. youtu.be/on7dAqz-n-A?...
I guess a man can dream. As for me, I relinquished all hope when the cheeseburger diet and COVID didn’t kill him.
In 50 years, we've gone from "give peace a chance," to "give cholesterol a chance." How far we've fallen.
Right? 😂
Yeah, it might get very interesting, very quickly. If he’s dead or even if he’s just very sick and his thugs are trying to hide it, perhaps it’ll help some of the GOP cowards grow a spine.
No, they're already guilty and know full well that only loyalty to the orange pedo is protecting them... Unless they exterminate all pretense of election integrity and steal their way into staying in office.
The orange predator may very well have stroked out. The few pictures released by the White House have proven to be from days or month ago. Whether this indicative of a serious health issue, or part of setting up a plausible defense against child rape & trafficking charges, has yet to be seen.
Their only defense is to stay in power or rely on typical american stupidity and short memories.
Let me be very clear about this, these GOPers are NOT cowards, they are co-conspirators with Trump & the oligarchy that keeps them in power. Do not expect them to do ANYTHING for the people just vote them out! It's time to start over.
Where is Fidel Castros track suit? Lol!
Susan Collins has performed this schtick since I was a mere boy. How have Mainers not figured it out before now?
She should have learned her lesson.
I believe that Susan Collins's days as a US Senator are numbered. It's just a feeling.
no doubt, she is deeply concerned, but she might soon learn her lesson.
I hope he plays up Collins’s tremor, too.
Indeed
Platner is great and so well spoken. Just to be clear, this was a Bernie rally with Platner as a speaker. Nobody can bring out the progressive base like Bernie! He was the reason for the huge crowd.
And Platner got the most applause. Maine’s ready for him.
I sure am!!!!
I voted against Susie in the last 5 elections. I’m ready to make it 6 in Fall 2026. I’ll be so happy when the witch/concern troll is gone.
Platner, by far, reminds me more of the Downeasters I've met than the elitist Susan Collins. Let her be concerned as a private citizen. We need fighters.
Hello
Because he is a down-easter where as Susan was raised in potato country!
Troy Jackson is from Allagash! He was amazing at the rally too!
He’s a blue dot in a red county but he knows what’s happening and isn’t afraid to talk about it. Met him at a rally in Bridgton, and he’s spot on with the real people and their needs.
Absolutely!
Put him on a billboard. I’m going to YouTube him now. Very cool.
I honestly hate Collins more than Trump. Trump is just openly evil. Collins makes noises about bad things being bad, she's "concerned" about bad things, she knows bad things are bad, but she always goes along with bad things anyway, and then pretends she was ignorantly tricked into it. Fuck. Her.
maine, please flush her!
Susan Collins is concerned?
If there were ever a time for her to be concerned, this clip should provide it.
stole this from @bluekansas.bsky.social
Collins stands for nothing. All you have to do is watch her waffle on every issue and eventually vote how the party tells her to vote. Time for the people of Maine to retire her.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hope he beats her butt! Metaphorically speaking ofcourse
Yup!
Same
SAME!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She’s concerned, and, he will.
And everyone is saying the Democratic Party is dead!!! Just watch us! ✊🏼💪🏼💙
Just watch the party ignore him and then treat him like shit when he can't be ignored any longer.
Yep!
Either way works for me…
Metaphor away, Mr. Dunn. You've earned it. 😎
Last time it sold out fast—order now if you missed it: #Blue skystore.top/products/order-now
🤭😉
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow , we need more Senators like him!!! A fierce leader indeed!!!
Bravo!!!!👏👏👏👏
❤️❤️❤️
This man is the real deal! This is exactly what the Democratic party needs in 2026! Not the Schumer picks. Candidates that real American’s can get behind and support!!!!! #bluewave2026
Righteous anger - Graham Platner speaks for all of us. Fuck Susan Collins. We're going to flip the Senate in 2026. YES WE ARE: Maine, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio and possibly Texas if crook Paxton beats Cornyn in the primaries. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Collins needs to friggen retire. She’s worthless. Like all republicans at this point.
The lobsters deserve better, too. If she was ‘concerned’ before this speech, she REALLY has reason to flop about now. Yes, please support Mr Platner, the oyster guy!!!💙👍
And he's HEEEEERE!!!! @grahamformaine.bsky.social
Well, maybe. I'd like to see a blue check behind his name.
In the meantime, his events & videos are posted there. Here’s more: www.grahamforsenate.com
Wow, he's good.
Been getting the texts from this man, and I did NOT stop them. I will definitely give what I can, when I can. What a powerful sounding voice! Need so many more like him.
I know, right!
I saw his commercial and he seems like a stand up guy. He wants to vote for what is good for Maine as well as the US.
America deserves someone better than Susan Collins.
Suzy Collins is not a good politician for Maine.. they need a stand up guy who will fight for the people of Maine!
Collins must be...concerned.
My bet is she is very concerned.
Wow!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The COUNTRY deserves better than Collins. She has made things worse for all of us.
Then quit fkn electing these pieces of sht!!
I have donated to Platner campaign. Love this guy & his values.
They should not only run Susan Collins out of the Senate but they should run her out of the state as well! After all, she has done incalculable damage to the state and to the country. Let her never spend another night anywhere at peace with her conscience.
Now is your chance Maine. Get rid of that hypocrite Susan Collins.
This should be what every democrat you should be saying to their constituents. You win progressives, manosphere and every stripe of democratic voter. Never trumpers are already on board. Replace Jeffries and Schumer.
Good clear message-how great is that!
God yes! She’s a cozy hack who has helped the shitheels over the gates many times…and when she votes rational, you know it’s already been assured not to upset the shitheel cart.
This needs to be the message. Fight Oligarchy! If we don't stop this right now, they will fix it so we won't have a voice any longer.
Maine Voters should be mad as Hell that Sen. Collins pretends to be remorseful Vote for Grahm Planter because he gives a damn. #GrahamCARES, he hears the voters & feels the same way. Graham’s mad as Hell that Sen. Collins sold out t/voters in Maine for her job security. Kick that bitch to t/curb
Amen, it her fault we are in this mess to begin with.
“Yowsah! A’Yupp I’m listening to!” Bring it Maine!
Yes!!!!!! 👏🏻
This Dude Is Good!
Susan, read the room. Don’t run again.
Fuck Susan Collins and fuck playing it "safe". It's all or nothing from now on. The era of "bipartisanship" is dead. If you have been or are with Trump, "fuck you".
Maine deserves a LOT better than Susie Collins.
The country deserves better.
SO much better.
I hope he is for real and not another Kyrsten Sinema, Fetterman, or Joe Manchin. I hope he also knows how to ignore the MAGA Russian Propaganda teams in Congress.
Amen!!!
Susan Collins was already on shaky ground before Platner arrived on the scene. I think she’s gonna get smoked by this guy.
Awesome!
Yes!
She’s done
I bet he could whoop Pete Hegseth's ass! There's a lot of testosterone in that voice!
Listen to this guy's talk.....
Yes!!!
Good luck and when you win don’t forget what you promised!!
He'd be the first. Well, maybe the second or third.
Hear-Hear. 🗽🇪🇺🇺🇦🌻
🔥
Graham Platner was stellar tonight. He has the chops to go all the way.
Get concerned Susan
100%
Uh Oh! I feel someone is going to be concerned soon. 👀
H.O.P.E.
They tricked so many people with empty promises and lies. It's about time America woke up!
About time America put time limits on politicians really it's beyond a joke how out of touch do you think these grandma and grandpa's are and before you hate on me for an ageism post I'm a grandma to but some has to say it lot of these people aren't able to relate
We're watching the next senator who will be taking Susan Collins's seat. Bravo
I love this guy.
Love it
Only in Congress do these people cling to their dying days for the job. Average age in Senate: 64yrs. Congress: 58yrs. They have a cushy job (average 165 days/year!) with great benefits. And most have plenty of $$ to retire at 65. WE DON’T! This stinks. ALL Repugs must go. Elderly Dems too.
Amen! Susan Collins is a laughing stock, pretending to be “so concerned” while opening the back door to Nazis and their malignant ideology!
I bet Democratic leadership will be silent. They don’t like uppity Democrats who threaten their little deals.
Boom 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🙏🙏🙏💪👏👏👏👊👊👊👊👊👊
I'm liking him more and more.
Yes. Fuck that. And with all my heart I mean it. That insincere fucking bitch
Money needs to be removed from politics, no more career politicians, congress should not get health benefits for life, Congress shouldn’t be paid if they aren’t working. We need major changes & that includes removing democrats & every republican. New checks/balances for each branch including SCOTUS
👊 I’m running to primary Hakeem Jeffries for NY-8. This is a rebellion against corporate interest. I’m not just running against Jeffries, I’m running against the machine. It will be a mutiny against every establishment official who traded our lives for a donor check ✊Learn more at VanceBforNY8.com
I also enjoyed her disbelief when she discovered the Trump appointees were untruthful about Roe! Just an amazing bunch of crap
🙌🏽🙌🏽💪🏽🗳️
Why are there so many greedy fucking lizards in this country who are so easily corruptible?!! The whole fucking nation is infested with them!!
Susan Collins is in trouble 🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵
Yes. This is not one of the “Gimme”elections of the past…Sen Collins will need to WORK to keep her seat…I’m not certain she does…
Yes! He’s my background singer Oooooo. Someone’s in trouble🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶 🤣🤣
🤣🤣
I wonder how she plans to wiggle her way out of this one….with her “concerns” and everything. BTW didn’t Mitch McConnell give her district some money the last time? or something like that? It was help on something that she needed right? @andrewlevesque.bsky.social
GOOD!!!!!
Love Star Trek!!!
I gave my secret away?? I’m a Trekkie, now you know.🤣
🤣🤣🤣 especially love the later ones with Chris Pine!!

As far as I’m concerned people who aren’t a Trekkie are the strange people.🤣

Agreed!!!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣
Kate Mulgrew!!!

Yeah…. Ya think?
✌🏻🫶🏾🖖
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
cuuuuuuuutie
every friday night if i remember correctly beam me up
She sure as hell is!!
She needs not to seek reelection and follow Jerry Nadler’s lead. Just quit to make room for a savy hip fact seeker who’ll hold their feet to the fire. Someone to meet this moments assault on Democracy. A history maker! Not someone who just rolls over. Sorry, not sorry.😣
Don’t be sorry trust me, she’s not “concerned” about you or anyone else!
I’ll bet she’s concerned about the big crowd.
Inject this into my fucking veins. this is it. This is the modern energy of the left or we’re fucked
I want to move back to Maine just to vote for Graham Platner!
If you’re already in a blue state, please do!
About time that Maine woke up.. Collins has never done anything to help Maine over 30 years. She is nothing but an "yas sir" monkey
Yes
🔥
I like the energy Platner brings! Maybe Susan better get really concerned, she could be headed out the Senate door and I am here for it!
hakeem jeffries is going to write this guy a strong letter, this radicalism will not stand!
Susan Collins must be concerned. Alarmed?
Pearl clutching is ineffective
Say it. Wake these people the f up.
Susan Collins is an example of what needs to change in government. "Old time politicians" that have been in Congress too long and don't have the fight in them to buck the system. She plays the political game for constituents, but has no intent of putting up any fights. She is too old and tired
How did he ever pass that to take womens rights away from them. This Administration is sooooo primitive.We re slowly descending in to the 18th century. Girls stay away from Reps. If ure pregnant move to a liberal state. Be very careful or marry a Mexican. Least they re devoted to Fam and Catholic
She must be deeply concerned!
🔥🔥🔥
💯💯💯💯 Susan Collins is a Trump Maga and needs to go . I am rooting for you Graham Platner !!!
Susan is concerned
📌
He’s impressive.
Schumer trying to a recruit decrepit Mills to run against this guy. Why?
This guy gets it.
I reckon the UK Prime Minister needs to hear this, too. Failing to deal with the decline of hope, of employment or of investment in towns across the UK disqualifies both of our main parties in the eyes of millions of voters. They want action & investment, or they’ll abandon hope and turn to hate.
I’m concerned to hear this
www.quiverquant.com/congresstrad...
Effectiveness at helping 98% of Maine people? Zero.
Same as it ever was. This isn't new. This is why they all run for office. Pelosi and Schumer have enriched themselves as well.
And the exact reason we need to overturn 2010 Citizens United. Money out of politics. It's the only way. Right now it's a rigged system and we all know it.
And while we’re at it, ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE !!
Actually I just looked this up and she is worth 6 something million. Not a fan of hers but this isn't true.
You are correct. I grabbed this meme from somewhere else. While she doesn’t make 40M, she had a huge influx of donations starting in 2020. I took this information from. www.quiverquant.com/congresstrad...
Is she paying her share of taxes???
For real 😧
That much money you are no longer among the humans. No concerns about anything… maybe they shouldn’t be paid at all.
As well as Maine, the United States deserves better than Susan Collins.
Holy fuck
🎯
Do you think Susan is concerned??
Address the elephant in the room. religion and the churches are responsible for what is going on. Not one single democrat has the balls to even consider the facts.
Amen.
THIS!!!! is what Dems need much more of. No BS allowed and No Holds Barred. Susan should be quaking in her old squeaky complicit boots. #WeThePeople need to reboot to a fresh change and Platner is just what we need. Get him on Bluesky Stat!!! 💙⚖️
You go, Graham!
bsky.app/profile/john...
"Only four....."
Spot on. Get rid of Collins.
Now if you get elected, remember those words. And hopefully you don’t fall into the asswipe trap that they all fall into. You must be for the people. Just like you said. Good luck! I’m sure you’ll win. Just remember.
I like the straight talking oyster guy. He offers a great contrast to double talking Collins
The Democrats are a party without a leader. A party of many positions without a unifying message. A huge tent with no central pole. If the Democrats want to return to power they must return to the middle and working classes. And this guy is the guy. This is the template. Don't let him be drowned out
I bet she's concerned
Fantastic 👏🏽👏🏽
Wow. He's good!
We absolutely do deserve better. Can't wait to vote her out.
Same for POTUS on the other end of those bribes! DISQUALIFYING!!
He is impressive! Good chance he has what it takes to bring Collins down despite her five terms and persistent « concerns. »
I hope he beats her in a landslide and doesn’t take a penny from AIPAC or corporate donors.
Need a swamp Yankee in there!
I just read the first sentence of that ("No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists.") and I immediately thought of Susan Collins.
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social This is how and what the Democratic Party should be talking about. Fire you Damn "Consultant" More of AOC, Ms. Jasmine, Stansbury and HIM. BTW Coach Walz has been great, since he isnt constrained by the DNC anymore. WTFU PLEASE or MTFO ✌️ 💙
And America deserves better than tRump. Release the complete unredacted Epstein files
I like this guy. It's long past time for her to go.
yes. Yes. YeE. YES!
Susan Collins is concerned, as she should be.
I hope this guy is the real deal, and I hope he wins. I'd also like more like this, assuming there are elections that aren't rigged seven ways to Sunday for the Grifter in Chief and his cronies so they can actually get in and do something.
She is toast with Platner running against her. Even the rural Maine MAGATS will vote for him.
I hope you're right
Maybe she’ll follow the despicable Ernst’s lead and just go away.
The guy is good.
More please
Hell Yeah! More of this please.
This guy is just another Fetterman style grifter. People are so gullible.
Then Maine shouldn't vote for Susan Collins.
we MUST Fight to Ensure the Midterm IS a Free And FAIR Election FIRST!
we're past the point where voting will solve this rotten system
Repost a million times.
Vote all Dems or Indys in .. Stop the rot to our democratic republic & the destruction of the Constitution the GQP has wrought Block JD Couch too (he's itchin' to fuck the resolute desk) & the rest of the Flying Monkeys in the Cabinet & Admin when twump melts into a big pile of goo
Love it!
Hey Maine, file her remorse under “thoughts and prayers,” then tell her to go f**k herself.
Any state who elects Republicans to represent them at this point hates themselves.
Or has been an extreme victim of voter suppression
That too, but these people shouldn't get votes, period. The fact that anyone is ignorant enough to think they will be represented by them is a real problem.
There is no segment of American citizen that should be denied the ability to vote. You have to trust that if everyone actually shows up to vote and it’s allowed to vote the same people while outnumbered the crazies.
If I was in Maine I'd be voting for this guy...
Susan is about to be out of a job. She should probably just quit now.
It’s a ploy either her or Murkowski have the opportunity together vto do something but the cave one way or the other… Collins said she’d only serve 2 terms… she overstayed her welcome
But she was never concerned.
Mainers should make Susan’s life as uncomfortable as she has done them. Jeer her in public
bsky.app/profile/grah...
Jeer her in public, FOREVER, or at least until #🖕🚼💩🍄🤡 actions have been reversed.
Dear Democrats everywhere: Bring 🔥 That’s what we’re looking for.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
More of this!
👏👏👏
👏🏻
Maine-line this right into my veins!
F yes it does!!!
Progressive Dems primarying centrist and moderate Dems can learn a thing or two from this guy.
I'd encourage the people in and outside of Maine to acknowledge that Maine's electing a Governor to replace Janet Mills next year (she's term-limited), and that on stage with Bernie and Graham was our strongest D contender for Governor,
Troy Jackson. His speech, about what he and the Maine legislature accomplished during his tenure as state Senate President - free school lunches for all children and strong protections for reproductive and trans rights, inter alia - was honest, hopeful and powerful. jacksonformaine.com
The whole friggin' country deserves better than Susan Collins, and we will work to make it happen in 2026!
I like him a lot!!! Go Mainers get this party started
Well, well, well…. Looks like we’ve got ourselves a contender! 👏🙌💪
I LUV your sign. Every great movement begins with a sign. Mine is: Solidarity is the enemy of the oligarchy.
That's a good one!
Another “fighter” in the mold of Bernie the Blowhard? Yeah, we’ve seen that act before. And what do they achieve aside from ascending to the 1% and costing Democrats elections?
