#DemocraticParty Leaders Wanted to Control the #Maine Senate Race. Their Pick Just Dropped Out.

#JanetMills dropped out of the Senate race against #GrahamPlatner, despite the establishment’s longtime support for the Maine governor.

Excerpt: "Mills’s exit less than six weeks before the June primary clears the path for populist candidate Graham Platner, now the presumed nominee, to face off against incumbent Republican Sen.

When I get a call from the #DSCC asking for a contribution to generic #Democratic candidates for US Senate, the answer will be no. I will donate to the progressive Democrats, and the ones who surrender to fascists can go hang.
