Look, I’m not from Maine so what do I know…but my guess is the cause of defeating Susan Collins wouldn't be helped by Dem elites & online liberal know-it-alls smugly insinuating that 150,000 Mainers who voted for Platner are all credulous rubes, Nazis and/or misogynists whose policy preferences should be ignored/mocked in the selection of a new Democratic Senate nominee.
But again, I’m not from Maine, so what do I know…
It's happening: Democratic Party insiders in DC and their dark money are trying to buy this race with just 3 weeks left.
They're scared of a candidate who won't bow to corporate power, Big Tech, or the war lobby.
#MI07 won't be bought by their lies or their money.
The lesson of Maine is not that we need fewer amateurs. We need far more of them, recruited seriously, through class-rooted organizations. This is old wisdom on the left.

$500,000 on an ad targeting my $11,000 401K. The "thousands" they are talking about is a mutual fund and my only retirement savings.
More ridiculous smears from AIPAC-linked PACs that are afraid of candidates like me who will stand up to corporate power and the war-lobby.
@shannonrwatts@amy_bresnen@shannonrwatts You can see who we are at https://t.co/GO8Y3GutXh . Our organization takes NO donations from billionaires. We are proudly not a front for the billionaire class.
@shannonrwatts@amy_bresnen Some of us respect our integrity too much to just go around making baseless accusations to win an argument. Apparently, you don't really care about your integrity.
@amy_bresnen@shannonrwatts Michael Bloomberg largely funds and helped build Everytown for Gun Safety, which hosts Moms Demand Action. He co-founded the movement and has donated tens of millions of dollars to the organization to support its grassroots advocacy, voter mobilization, and lobbying efforts.
