Dropsite publishes about a Maine volunteer rebellion (putsch?) of some type, without identifying group, or presenting a copy of a claimed draft letter. The link is given, the writing is basically unsourced.

You tell me who is saying what. Dropsite makes statements - but * * *

Check it out. It seems a volunteer network attached to the Platner agenda wants to pressure Establishment Dems in picking a new Senate candidate.

That's commendable, or seems so for progressive goals to be preeminent, but who the fuck's really doing what?

This tweet sheds some light, but not much -

It seems perhaps this Toth man is instrumental in the progressive volunteer putsch, but has yet to have all his ducks in a row.

Just know, some volunteer effort is or seems to be weaponizing against Maine Dem Inner Party's will and likelihood to fuck things up loosingly to where Susan Collins smiles and Maine Republicans sigh in relief.

It's perhaps Democratic Socialist volunteers? Perhaps not. We'll see.

The overriding impression is Schumer/Gillibrand would rather see Collins reelected than another Democratic Socialist advancing like Bernie who'd vote with Dems on organizing. As in cut off the nose, thus spiting the face. It astounds.

How about moving to unambiguous Maine news? CommonDreams, two items.
