@luxeprogressive I can't wait for Abdul to sweep these losers and win in November to finally put to bed the idea that a leftist candidate can't win in a battleground state. I'm seeing people also say Francesca Hong shouldn't win the primary in Wisconsin cause she'll surely lose in the general ๐
@_fat_ugly_rat_ Maine Dems just really underestimated how much a populist progressive campaign would resonate with Maine voters. That and planter really just looks and speaks like a rural nobody instead of some politician from an ivy league school
@_fat_ugly_rat_ Maine Dems didn't pick platner lol. I believe he was recruited by local union leaders to run a campaign on the left lane. It was rumored that Schumer was tapping Mills to run, and given that she was governor, I imagined that scared anyone else from running
