11. I agree. Too many incumbents voted to open the government and lost the ACA among other failures.

Tuesday

This is what primaries are for...and I believe we need better leaders willing to fight for us. The next generation is getting read to grab the reins...somethings boomers did well and really changed the world...somethings we didn't. This new generation is moving left. So fight hard in primaries to get the one you want elected but when the new Democrat is selected than we vote Democratic period. I was very unhappy with the DNC's attitude in the Maine election. Sending money to candidates when I can afford it not the DNC.
