Will Rogers strikes again.
"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."
Count me among the folks who naively put their head in the sand when it came to Graham Platner's past. In fairness, his politics are what most of us have been waiting for, and the alternative was 78-year-old, unenthusiastic Janet Mills.
What a sad state of affairs. The Platner situation and the state of our politics. Hopefully something meaningful can come out of this experience.
