if you think Janet Mills, who is the same age as Elizabeth Warren and 7 years younger than Bernie Sanders is disqualified because of age, you must disqualify Lizzie and Bernard from their next Senate races.

I am so disappointed by this. I've seen my Jewish friends continue to be savaged on social media, branded genociders for daring to grieve the victims of the barbaric 10/7 terrorist attack, begging for the release of hostages, and standing for Israel's right to exist.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

majorities, you can’t stop them from passing legislation. If your party has the White House you need majorities to pass legislation & confirm justices.

These leftists don’t understand what the most important thing is—it’s to get majorities. It’s why you run candidates that fit their districts & states. Janet Mills is that candidate for Maine. Without the majority, you can’t pass anything & if you don’t have the White House & the other party has

Personally, if I see Nazi or Confederate flags, I take my ass out of there because I don’t associate with bigots of any kind—be them racists, antisemites, Islamophobic, xenophobic, etc.

This is my worry.

But I KNOW Mills. Countless times, she's literally been at my back as I explain my miscarriages to press and folx.

The state knows her, too. I do trust her, and so does the pro Repro-rights crew I roll with.

Platner... feels like a distraction. And a justification for mysoginy.

Hey, Sherrilyn, would you say the same thing if there were white supremacists gathered & “only a few of them were saying racist things” but there were “some good white people there that were definitely not being racist.”

This also means pollsters didn’t give any other Democratic candidate a strong chance of defeating Collins. Janet Mills is the only Democratic candidate they’ve believed so far has a chance to win.

I mean, they’re completely ignoring the fact that pollsters have only just moved this Senate seat from lean R to toss up today since Janet Mills announced she’s running for the seat.
That means pollsters give her an even chance of defeating Collins.

I honestly believe these leftists would rather see Graham Platner get the nomination & lose the general election to Susan Collins & have her reelected another 6 years than see a proven 2-time statewide electoral winner in Maine like Janet Mills win the nomination & flip the seat.

He’s a flip flopper.

The only candidate I donated to during the primaries was Joe Biden in 2020. Usually I only donate in the general election. But Joe was my #1 choice in 2020.

Graham Platner: “Nothing pisses me off more than getting a fundraising text from Democrats talking about how they’re fighting fascism…”

Graham Platner: “But I’m not a wealthy guy, and we’re still short of our $50,000 goal and what we need to win. If I’m going to be able to defeat Susan Collins and flip this Senate seat blue, I need folks like you to chip in now to my campaign.

Please, will you split a donation right now between my campaign and No Dem Left Behind to help me defeat Susan Collins…”

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

Who the fuck is “we”?
Do you live in Maine?
It’s up to the voters who live there. They’ll make the choice.

If you don’t like the candidates in the Democratic Party or are judging them based on their ages, go start your own party.
