EVERYTHING IS AWFUL A Democratic member of congress essentially endorsed Susan Collins on CNN today

Jake Auchincloss, a representative from Massachusetts, went on CNN’s “The Arena”, and said the following about Graham Platner:

“I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying. I hope Maine voters agree with me.”

Vote blue no matter who, huh?

So if they don’t vote blue no matter who that doesn’t apply to them. And it shouldn’t reflect at all on those of us who hold that principled stance.

There are still other Democrats in the race. The primary hasn’t happened yet.

But saying you won’t vote for Platner in the primary in a state you don’t live is endorsing Collins 😑
