44. What Joy Reid said was wrong, was defeatist,

Fri Jul 10, 2026, 11:33 AM

Yesterday

with that said, Joy didn't do the rest of the podcast and I agree with most of what was said after Joy's terrible remark.

Platner created a movement in Maine, he got all groups of people to back him, including some Magats. The DNC or whoever is refuting that people liked what Platner was saying, they are claiming they only liked the person and that is why Maine must nominate a moderate Democrat.

Maybe I am way off base in analyzing that but I believe that Maine Democrats should replace Platner with someone who is in alignment with Platner's platform, it's what Maine voters want.

However, if that doesn't happen, staying home and not voting is not an option.
