So the NYT wrote a hit piece attacking a progressive candidate that threatens to actually tax the fabulously wealthy? Color me shocked.

81 yr old Maine resident that was one of the 75 percent of Maine Democrats that voted for Graham Platner, the right wing, IAPAC and corporate Democrats can pull what ever they want out of their collective asses and it ain't going to work.

So let me get this straight. Mr Plattner is not a pedophile. He is not a con artist. He is not a Wall Street hack. He is not a two-faced liar. He takes accountability for his actions. Yeah that's definitely somebody that we should never ever ever ever want to vote for, that was a lot of sarcasm. What's wrong with America when the best people that we can choose are tore down to their bare bones while those who lie cheat and steal never have to face any accountability?

Israel, Jeffries, Schumer, The New York Times, and Fox will do anything to take down Platner. Can you smell the fear in the air.

I've read all the recent articles on Canadian liberal news sites about Graham Platner - none of them mention that his accuser is a Republican operative. The extent they're trying to smear this guy knows no depth.

The (literally) old guard from both parties are trying to block any progressive candidates from getting to the general elections because they know voters are sick of the current crop of corporate sell out politicians. They need to retire.
