Mainer here. I'm sick of pundits telling me how I should vote. [View all]

I live in a bright blue part of the state. I was a Janet Mills supporter. Then she dropped out and I turned to Platner. Now I'm told by the press, by my out-of-state Democratic friends, by all the genius politicos from outside Maine, that Maine Democrats are going to stay home and Collins is going to win.

Ya know what? No, we're not going to stay home. Every Democrat I know, men and women, whether they earlier supported Platner or not, is damn well going to show up to vote against Collins.

Stop telling us what we're going to do. We're Mainers. We do whatever we damn well please.
