Graham Platner has traversed a long and unlikely road to become the Democratic nominee for the US Senate in Maine. Can he beat longtime GOP incumbent Susan Collins and live up to the promise of his firebrand populist campaign?

      What if he turns out even more progressive than what he’s running as?

      Why only consider one side of the hypothetical?

        No I heard he was always an asshole. But it was him or OZ and sick of the lesser evil which is bullshit. And this guy is a nazi. His bullshit he didn’t know his tattoo was what it wss goes against realty. So guess we see how he turns out. I hope for the best but not holding out he will make any difference.

        Not so sure about that, given some questionable past behavior of his. His entire time as a mayor was problematic.

          But he’s so relatable to the common man! He wears a hoodie (that he bought with his trust fund).

        The heel turn was coming, the stroke may have only made it worse.
