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
I think I agree strongly with this. The dude has MUCH explaining to do, but he deserves the oppurtunity to do so. When I’ve seen him speak publically, he’s a once in a lifetime speaker. But dude did get nazi tattoo. Dude did work for blackwater. Those are extraordinary things, which he also hasn’t denied or deflected.
And extraordinary things require extraordinary explanation. I don’t think these are deal breakers, but surely a period of explanation and reflection is warranted.
