....not by much...so when the Dem house sends bills over the uniparty senate will just kill them. Keeping Collins helps. I believe something similar maybe at work in Ohio with Dems helping Husted retain his seat. Brown is not progressive but he is for helping the the American working class whereas Husted is big corpo all the way.

I'm not from Maine but Maine voters made their choice. I can send money to Platner though.

Thank you for posting this. LaRosa's comments are classic for revealing what to listen for in a collaborator Dem, like LaRosa.

Nauseating how they will stick a knife in a progressive, while coddling a fascist. Just grotesque.
