      There comes a point where it feels like people online are screaming at the collective will of the voters themselves. Chuck Schumer endorsed Mills, so that would have absolutely been the establishment choice. She was polling so poorly and having such a hard time raising money that she dropped out. The people wanted Platner; he was just shittily vetted. Does that suck? Yes. But clearly, the primary voters in Maine wanted someone with a similar message to what Platner brought to the table. It’s just a matter of employing better investigators before someone achieves national prominence, because holy fuck what a shit show this has turned into.
