Graham Platner has entered the chat
A random person off the street who wasn’t broken by being used as an imperial pawn in an overseas conflict. After everything has settled, I feel really bad for Graham. It seems like it was probably a BarIdea™ that got momentum faster than anyone expected, and he wasn’t truthful about his past because the spotlight got so bright so quickly and so many people immediately hitched their wagons to his train. I think it’s unfortunately the case that his blunder through the national stage will cause other people with similar ideas from following his example because of the evisceration he received. Even if he had been squeaky clean, how awful must it be to have both sides of the political establishment digging as deep as possible I to your past life instead of listening to what you say you want to do in the future. I still think Graham was the best pick for the seat, and that he would have trounced Collins regardless of his trespasses, it’s not like he would be a devil amongst angels in DC. His response to the allegations was too middle of the road IMO, either put up zero resistance and apologize, or stand by your guns and actually defend yourself.
Idk, rant over, vote for Troy Jackson I guess.
They’ve been doing the same to Mamdani, El-Sayed and every democrat tied to DSA, btw.
No matter what the Republicans do, establishment Democrats will always punch to their left.
