In Maine, the DNC has apparently been "handling" Troy Jackson in an attempt to prevent another Graham Platner. Not the scandal, they helped bring that to light. They don't want another "radical" calling for the elimination of billionaires, just a moderate "progressive", just enough to get most of the team back on board. Sucks

    Yeah, I read about that. I have zero doubts he'd be winning in the polls if he was just being himself. He hasn't even had a public appearance since the consultants took over, probably so no one can ask him why he's suddenly silent about Medicare for all and Palestine.

    It's almost like they gave up. They can't possibly think this is working. The DNC motto is "if we can't win our way, we'd rather lose" and they appear to be following that.
