This is all me brother.

Antonia Hylton: “Do some of you think that there are parts of the Democratic Party that actually want someone like Angie Nixon to lose?” The entire panel: “YES” “ABSOLUTELY” “They’d rather have a Republican”

Wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial.

Glengariff Group pollster: “What really catches my attention and raises red flags for Republicans is how undecided Senate voters view Trump — over 80% of them disapprove of him.” — Trump Approval among undecided voters (9.4% of the sample) 🟤 Disapprove: 83% 🟢 Approve: 3%

(NYT) New Hampshire Democrats Sound an Alarm: “We’re Losing” The state has not elected a Republican to the Senate since 2010. But Chris Pappas, the likely Democratic nominee, anticipates a tough race against a well-known opponent, John E. Sununu. In recent weeks, a tide of anxiety has risen among Democrats in the Granite State who are concerned that a party with big dreams of expanding its map could let the seat left open by the pending retirement of Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat, slip from its grasp. nytimes.com/2026/09/06/us/po…

Take a look at Gallup polling. Ask why is this ignored?

Young people interested in democratic socialism—not the psychotic Stalinism of Trump’s friends Kim Jong Un, President Xi and Vladimir Putin!—are more than welcome in the Democratic Party I believe in. Young Americans are not talking about the dictatorship of the proletariat or seizing the means of production.   They just want healthcare for everyone in the richest country in the world, a dramatically increased minimum wage and to get rid of corporate rule by our dangerous billionaire oligarchs. Down with Trump and the octogenarian oligarchs; power to young America.

I think people have heard enough of my opining about Maine for one cycle, but before I shift my focus fully to the other 49 states, a few scattered thoughts on Graham Platner: 1) There are a lot of people who bear responsibility for this. The team that didn’t vet him properly. The people (like me) who bought his schtick hook line and sinker and used their platforms to not just promote him early on, and stuck with him after just an insane amount of obvious red flags for months on end — I should have known better, and I for one will be doing a lot of introspection (and hopefully lesson-learning) on how I got to that place of cognitive dissonance. Schumer for clearing (what could have been a very talented field) for Mills, who clearly didn’t want to run. Mills for announcing so late. Maine’s Democratic primary voters for sticking with him throughout all of it and giving him the most votes than any other Democratic Senate candidate in the history of the state. But responsibility lies the most with the man himself. Not only did he know that he did these things before he ran, not only did he have the hubris to think that they wouldn’t be unearthed (especially the digital footprint stuff in the year 2026) — he repeatedly insisted that nothing else would come out. Delusion, denial, whatever you want to call it. It’s not only heinous, it almost cost us a Senate seat and potentially a majority. 2) Jenny Racicot is an absolute hero. So are the people that helped her prepare for this moment. What happened to her is unimaginably horrifying, and then having the courage to stand up after so many women in her position over the decades have been ripped to shreds once they come forward. I simply cannot imagine. The debt can never be repaid. 3) Thank god Maine Democrats have a mechanism to remove candidates this late. Republicans were clearly sitting on this (and likely other devastating oppo) for right after the July 13 deadline, and now pretty much any other candidate should have a better shot at beating Susan Collins (inshallah). 4) If folks need to do the “I told you so” thing, that’s fine. Knock yourself out. Take a week or two. Get it out of your system. We need to lock in for the general here after Maine Dems pick a new nominee. But to act like poor vetting is uniquely a problem for the left wing of the party is beyond laughable. You wanna throw stones, we can unearth Eric Swalwell, Andrew Cuomo — and even Joe Biden in the run up to the 2024 debate. Enjoy your dunks, but just know that the bill will inevitably come due in the other direction, whether it’s 2028, 2030, or another cycle soon thereafter. 5) Graham tapped into some very real anger in the electorate. He did inspire people. That shouldn’t be lost on all of this. The man himself is *deeply* flawed, but the foundation of message remains appealing, at least to Mainers. We are seeing that across the country. We need to figure out — as a party, not just a progressive-left anti-establishment faction — a way to harness that without compromising our values as human beings and Democrats. Fin.
