Dan Barkhuff with the perspective.
I think it is a mistake to bet against Maine showing up for one of its own, and I think, if Graham Platner does not have any worse skeletons in the closet, he will win the primary next week despite his Democratic 78-year-old opponent Janet Mills’ last-minute efforts to inject uncertainty into the race in the wake of the latest round of the“Platner did dumb shit on the internet,” saga.

Resonates: “A democracy that insists on perfection will eventually find itself represented only by people skilled at hiding their flaws.” 🫤
Also the comment by T Huebner: “As long as what someone did is not a pattern. Everything that trump is doing right now has been a pattern throughout his life. Unfortunately he was still voted in.”😱
An interesting, thoughtful read that made me think about representation (& a lot of other things!). Platner could stick with his truths & be and become a fine representative.
