Because we're supposed to be better than Republicans on morals and character. I expect my party to be better.

Did you say the same thing about Joe Biden per chance?

Okay well he blew his elderly competitor out of the water to the point they stopped spending and then conceded before the primary. The choice is now him or Collins. And I think it's quite easy to pick a guy who fucked up and wasn't a perfect husband over the woman who's helping us slip further into fascism. If you think some naughty texts are bad I'd bet those guys did far worse in the wars that Susan Collins voted to send our soldiers into.
