I wonder what house he's pretending to live in now. Maybe it's Poliquin's pretend house in . . . madison? (Former coworker in Georgetown said he was living there even while pretending he had a place in 02. No one in Georgetown believed he wasn't.)

You are not even on the rights coast. Stay out of Maine politics. Platner is going to self-own his campaign to death. He's just parroting what his DSA handlers tell him to say. He's just another angry white dude.
His new campaign manager is a two time loser for mayor. What a brilliant choice.

Yes, PLEASE stop running as Democrats.
But since their goal is to destroy the Democrats from within, they won't.

I think the 2022 vote may have shown that.

What is your assessment of Dunlap's chances?
What do you think of reports that "national Democrats" (whoever that is) are looking for a candidate, as if Dunlap's not already on the race?

So you're ok with starving children. Let me guess: You've never had to worry about feeding yourself or your family. It shoes.
This is not ending ACA. This is ending temporary benefits from 2021.
You really think Democrats are going to stop demanding votes on extending those temporary benefits?

Which is the greater betrayal? Choosing to continue starving 40 million people, or choosing not to extend an additional subsidy that was only intended to be a temporary increse in the first place?

My brother's memorial party was yesterday, in Virgina. He didn't want a funeral, he wanted a party. A grand time was had by all, saw some long lost cousins, and a lot of friends who missed him.
I'm good. On my way back to Maine now.
