Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
at the end of the day, us Mainers don’t really care for Washington types or politicians. Platner is a great pick for the state of Maine, he looks like us, he works with us, he talks like us. He will be able to pull votes from both parties because the republicans can’t really put him in a sissy liberal box. The other option was our current governor who just sold us out for dibs on an AI data center. I’ll take the guy with tattoos and do a little political gamble.
I wish our state was good at critical thinking, but we’re all morons. We do have a good eye for whats authentic. Our sniff test will have to pass for critical thinking this time.
Im not even critically thinking for this one. This country turned my state into a banana republic for rich peoples 3rd homes. I’d vote for any person who’s working a real job in this state. I’m a two issue voter this year. You can’t be over 65 and you need to work a real job in the private sector or run a small business. The dude that runs an oyster farm is as close as a lot of Mainers are going to get to someone who feels authentic to a state full of distressed farmers and fishermen.
Is he willing to fight? If so, then welcome aboard. If we make it through, and he handled himself well, we can accept that he’s a new man. If not, we’ll get rid of him then. But if he’s willing to fight now, I want him.
If Schmuck & Jeffries are typical of their preferred brand of Democrat, then I’ll take more of this guy please.

Valid. I wish more people could apply some Critical Thinking Skills, and think maturely.
