Might want to hear from someone who actually knows Graham Platner instead of constantly reading articles written by people who DON'T know him.
Exactly.
Again: the issue here is not a specific candidate. It is the way the wealthy and powerful try to buy propaganda to maintain their power and control over our government and deny us representation.
Graham Platner and I did not talk about what all the mainstream “news” folks have talked about and talked about…We talked about What We Need To Do To Save Our Democracy

This is because of you.
I am deeply humbled. I will not let you down.
I built another ranked choice simulation tool for the ME Dems Gub primary. Use the sliders to set the vote % by round and input the % of exhausted ballots by round. Check it out! #mepolitics

They should change the name of this app to the Susan Collins Fan Club.
The establishment said he was unelectable. Corporate media called him irredeemable. David Brooks called him a "degenerate."
Graham Platner won the Democratic primary by more than 50 points anyway. And he's already polling 10 points ahead of Susan Collins in the general.
One stark data point from the new @pellcenter.bsky.social Voices of Value poll: The highest scoring category for authoritarian mindsets was 80% Republican or Republican-leaning. The lowest scoring category (of 5) was three-quarters Democrat or Democrat-leaning.

He was doing this stuff before running. He showed up last spring up to support UMaine grad. workers in their fight to get a new contract, and he was volunteering at the very first No Kings rally I was at as a marshal, last March. He has a history here, which is why folks pushed him to run.
