(2,977 posts)Maine is one of the two Senate seats we are most likely to flip. And I do get that Planter is more likely to vote correctly on all of the important legislation than the current occupant of the seat. The current occupant of that seat is also offensive, and she has done incredible harm and is completely unacceptable.
I don't plan to start threads here about Graham Platner, or actively campaign against him. Many Maine voters seem willing to look past his history, their prerogative to do so, but nobody was lied to. He is who he is.
But the voters get the final say and they haven't voted yet. Yes, Platner is very likely to win. But there are other Democrats on the ballot, David Costello is one. Look at the California Governor primary. I doubt there are many who would have told you that Xavier Becerra would be current favorite in the polls if you asked them a month ago. The primary is little over one month away. We should respect it and let it play out.
