I’m glad I’m not in Maine. Before Fetterman this would be easier to rationalize away.
I hope Platner can reassure folks and then serve honorably, because let’s be real: despite a lack of known tattoos, I don’t think Susan Collins or Janet Mills are actually less extreme. As you’ve pointed out, support for lawless colonial attrocities is the mainstream, bipartisan consensus.
This debate we’re having, imo, is really over whether the person he is today is a morally coherent champion of humanistic values or if there is no such candidate in this race. Which is kind of a bummer.
