Establishment Democrats are trying to shove Janet Mills down our throats in Maine instead of backing this candidate who is pulling in huge crowds and resonating with voters in this non-election year. Maine is not biting. Graham Plattner for senate.
Maine is a complicated state. We continue to elect Susan Collins. Ever heard of Paul LePage?? I am proud to live in a state Mills has governed and watching her stand up to Trump was a highlight of this shitty year. But she is deeply unpopular with many Mainers. Not what we need.
I’m sorry but she’s doing it for the same reason other Boomers won’t get out of the way: because she fancies herself irreplaceable. At 77 she can offer mentorship to a new generation. She has no business running.
The establishment Democrats who pushed this can go fuck themselves. We lose twice to an orange reality TV personality and they run the same-old OLD candidates instead of backing new, younger candidates. Janet Mills should not be a junior senator at 77 years old. Graham Plattner is our candidate.
