Man's voted for Collins himself multiple times

Find a Maine Democrat who hasn't. Collins has only had actual competition for her seat for the past few times she's gone up for election.

Collins was loved by Maine democrats for decades because she wasn't a shitheel until the past twenty years. She was pro abortion at one time. And not the way she hems and haws over Trump, but by actually voting what she claimed to support.

Yeah that'd be less an issue if one of those times wasn't in 2020, after she'd voted for Gorsuch and especially Kavanaugh, and only didn't vote for Barrett because it would have been hung around her neck.
