I know that he did it because *reasons*, but he has a hand in creating the problem, and it seems that a gay-bashing, rape apologist, anti-assault-weapons-ban, racist, former Republican voter is not part of the solution.

ME has ranked choice voting, and two other Democrats remain on the ballot. We'll see what happens on June 9.
