1. The US has an awful lot of really stupid, ignorant and willfully ignorant people. n/t

[mainer]

2. A lot of us Mainers hate her. And we're devastated!

It came down to a suburban/rural divide. The better educated and more prosperous coastal areas voted for Gideon. But we couldn't overcome rural voters.

3. She. Makes. Me. Die.

I really thought she was toast this time. 6 more years of her!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peacefreak2.0]

4. I feel your pain,

but we have to put up with her for four more fucking years.

[JonLP24]

5. The polls were way off in Maine

6. Think Biden can find a cabinet spot for Collins?

Get her out of the senate and replaced by a D. She doesn’t need anything with a lot of power or influence - she’d work for Joe and do his bidding - but it might work.

8. I had a similar thought.

It's probably not going to be a popular suggestion, but it's a thinking-outside-the-box solution to the problem.

On the other hand, it would seem like rewarding her for her abhorrent behavior. Might still be worth it in the big picture.

[PTWB]

10. It's politics, man.

We need as much as we can get in the senate.

[TwilightZone]

11. Agreed.

At this point, "whatever works" is pretty high on the strategy list.

[tritsofme]

15. If her leaving the Senate would create a Democratic majority, she would never accept.

She is a rank partisan, and not this naive.

[nilram]

16. With an emphasis on "rank"

[bdamomma]

7. Dark money

again.

Why did Sara concede?????

[Beakybird]

9. She got mucho $$$ for supporting Kavanaugh

[ElementaryPenguin]

12. HACKED!!

For sure.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

13. It like voting for a dumpster fire

When you have already seen 23 straight years of that exact same dumpster fire.

14. I hear you - Our "concerns" about integrity was duly considered and rejected as

too "free," too "equal" and, therefore, irrelevant. So much for those 3 branches of government keeping the checks and balances when 2/3 work for the racist, fascist dicktator and MoscowMitch continues the hostage situation in the third branch purported to work for the People, a lot of whom are in favor of every immoral vice imaginable, embodied by GOP self-servers.
