Maine has been electing Collins over and over. I don't really feel any kinda way.

The American electorate is full of shitty people who elect shitty people in order to shit on people.

If Maine wants Collins and the shit she supports, have at it. They might still pick a Dem, though.

Especially once we roll out Project 2029!
