Despite media scrutiny and attacks on his character, progressive Senate candidate Graham Platner continues to gain support in Maine, with 58% of voters backing him. His platform focuses on making life more affordable, shifting the Democratic Party away from corporate interests, and ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share. #GrahamPlatner
thats great but he gets to start with his local council or some other low level political office and work his way up
So I saw this being put out by a (former) Republican turned Democrat consultant on a podcast yesterday. It smacks of the kind of gatekeeping that has kept establishment Democrats in control of the party but losing elections for decades.
I understand why we can’t let perfect be the enemy of good but we’re not talking about another Al Franken here. This guy has/had a literal Nazi tattoo and that takes a lot more effort to erase from the sum of actions that equals a person
