A primary challenge from Dunlap is not a “progressive.” LePage would be by far Golden’s toughest opponent he’s ever faced, including incumbent Poliquin. I wish that Golden was running & think he’s the best shot to win in the 2nd (I live in 1st) but I don’t see the blame on progressives here

man, respectfully and as a fan, we're working on it. If you tell every 55/45 state to fuck off it's a GOP majority forever. In 2020 we had a bad candidate and went Biden/Collins; the best lesson from Zohran is that candidate quality matters, and you can't beat Collins with sub-replacement level Dem
