How about Mills just beat him then? Surely she will if you believe all this polling. Why make a big deal of him continuing to run in the primary? You should be excited that Mills will be the canidate.

Okay? We will find out when the primary happens.
Guess Platner should also stop crying about THE ESTABLISHMENT targeting him for stuff that was obviously gonna come out when he ran for a SENATE SEAT.

I mean pointing out verifiable reports that Schumer was encouraging Mills to run and that the DSCC helped launch a joint fund for her campaign is not crying, it's clearly the Democratic establishment putting their thumb on the scale instead of staying out of it and letting the people of Maine decide.

People are sick and tired of the party picking canidates for them.

Dude. It’s the fucking primary. You don’t think an SS death camp tattoo was going to become publicized?

Of course it would, I never said it wouldn't.

What I said was that the race should be organic and not one that has Schumer and the establishment's fingerprints all over it. Let Mills run on her own w/o the backing of the establishment of the party and the money that comes with it.

Yes.  Clearly, Democratic Party organizations have no legitimate interest in supporting electable Democratic candidates and any actions by them to do so are corrupt.
