(3,209 posts)It is not a case where Mills wasn't really in the race so the only real option was Platner.
The facts are exactly opposite that. Mills was backed by the entire Dem establishment. She was the chosen candidate. She didn't leave the race until it became obvious that the people of Maine were going to vote strongly in favor of her retirement. She left the race after she saw she was 20+ points behind and losing ground every day. And even though Mills reminded everybody she was still on the ballot a few days before the vote, she lost 72-20. WTF is anybody even talking about here? The people closest to the situation have made their choice and it isn't even close.
You are entitled to your opinion about Platner. But I will not stand for gaslighting what actually happened, even if you know some people who heard some other people say ...
