31. Honest misunderstanding - you should retitle your post

Sat May 2, 2026, 12:19 PM

Saturday

(this one I'm responding to). If you do edit to remove the personal attack, I'll edit my own post to clarify.

And yeah, probably delete the links to contribute to Bernie. He isn't up for election until 2031, right?

I was referring to 2016 and Clinton, not Biden. Great that Bernie worked hard for Biden and other candidates. I still think it's inappropriate to request contributions for Bernie when the point is ostensibly to support Platner.

(TBH the reason the link to Bernie's page bothers me, is because I see the same dynamic happening with Platner now as happened with Clinton ... I think Platner is far from perfect but we need to convince Maine voters like me to vote for Platner - amplify the reasons WHY to vote for him and stop amplifying the other stuff - UNLIKE what happened in 2016 between Clinton and Sanders supporters. I was just reminiscing about how the Platner saga is playing out similarly to that, and we need it NOT to ... then your post popped up ... )
