the chapter here was not involved at all. we are running a cadre model (for example our two current electeds are both former chapter co-chairs). platner came more out of the general progressive/labor world

i guess what im saying is i think a lot of people here are feeling pretty burnt and its going to be quite difficult to get enough momentum to overcome the sitting governor, particularly with a candidate whose even more of a question mark, when they might also turn out to be harboring secrets

she is way more of an unknown than platner was, though it may not seem like it. all of the people i know organizing downeast knew who graham was before this whereas when she announced literally nobody in biddeford-saco had heard of her. maybe worth a shot, but after all this idk

idk if i really even think golden is part of the "bench" in the sense that the path to governor or senator goes through a statewide dem primary that he is not going to be winning. he's turbocharged his chances of holding onto cd-2 at the cost of everyone in southern maine hating his guts.

rose @breadnrosie.bsky.social · 1d

yeah there were at least 3 normal dems who were interested in running that mills blocked

rose @breadnrosie.bsky.social · 1d

the whole bench is in the gubernatorial race because everyone is afraid of collins and mills froze the senate primary. there are 5 extremely prominent dems in it

wikipedia doesn't understand that i havent been able to speak russian remotely well in years.

rose @breadnrosie.bsky.social · 1d

i downloaded the wikipedia app to my phone and for some reason its decided that since i have a russian keyboard installed on my phone that it means russian is my primary language and like 50% of the text is in russian.
