I don’t know anything about Platner except for a few comments on social media. I don’t know what other options we had. All I can say is that I hope the democrats in Maine did not screw us up like the ones in PA did with Fetterman. Or the voters in NYC did with Adams. Regardless, it is over now. Democrats in Maine have spoken. One more chance to get Collin’s out. It will probably have to be a huge blue wave to get her out.
