    Regarding Troy Jackson,

    Created a committee to explore who should replace Platner?!

    No, to explore his own run should Platner drop out. The Maine Democratic Party will make the final decision about who replaces him, as Maine law requires. They are describing it as an

    in-person convention of about 600 people for the purpose of selecting a new Senate nominee

    Here’s an archive link to that same Press-Herald article; I am aware there are problems with the archive site but it has the content. Use at your own discretion:

      Democratic Party Executive Director Devon Murphy-Anderson

      Great…

      The person in charge of it was the chief financial executive of the Florida Dem party in 2020.

      That should make us all super duper confident, and it’s total normal for those Florida Dems to keep failing upwards all over the country.

      Edit:

      At least she totally took the blame when her Latino outreach program in Florida failed…

      Devon Murphy-Anderson, the former finance director for the Florida Democratic Party and cofounder of Mi Vecino, which works to activate Latino voters in Florida, told Newsweek that while Miami-Dade is getting all of the attention, DeSantis’ complete and total win also impressively flipped traditional blue areas like Palm Beach County and Hillsborough County.

      “It’s important to know this was a strategy from Florida Republicans, and not to shift the blame to Latino voters,” she argued, seeing the results as “a response to strategic investment by a political party.”

      Totally makes sense after all these collosal recent fuck ups in the less than decade since graduating college means she should run a state fucking party and make these kinds of calls.

      I still don’t understand why no one else notices this shit.
