minus-squareFilip785@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 hours ago I’ll probably be downvoted for this—and it is pretty provocative to be fair—but I’d rather have a (potential) rapist than a liberal So basically you don’t want to win, right? It’s much more important to ‘own the libs’ than to win and govern? Progressive rapist will never win. How about progressives start vetting their candidates first before handing them their full support?

Yeah Maine progressives should’ve just read his mind to know about this (still not substantiated) accusation that makes perfect sense. That aside, even if the accusations are true he could probably win by just denying them, and that’d still be better than Janet Mills getting the job.
