Democrats/liberals are not immune.

If you remember 2000 you remember reports that Bill Bradley was the "real" liberal and Al Gore was a DINO.
When the reality was both Gore and Bradley were pretty much centrists.
But lots of people jumped on the "real" liberal band wagon.

Sadly it's the same here, except Platner advertised himself as the real liberal.

In a way it's a failure of the Maine and national Democratic parties. They should have been grooming possible Collins replacements since she first won office.
