29. What a great idea, Joy!

Fri Jul 10, 2026, 11:13 AM

Friday

And why don't we all just sit out all the elections where our very favorite most sparkly primary candidate isn't the nominee? That will sure teach those republicans! /s

I hope they find a great candidate that Maine is excited about, and that they have also vetted up one side and down the other.

This talk of taking our ball and going home... is not how we win elections.
