The underdog Maine candidate, who has risen in polls, told NBC News he wants to carry on the legacy of Bernie Sanders and push Democrats to be more aggressive.
One of the wealthiest men in maine, served with war criminals, and had a nazi tattoo for decades but he says all the things you want to hear while campaigning.
My honest assessment is he a liar and will show his true colors once in office.
Plus the Democratic leadership doesn’t seem half as freaked out by him winning as they were with Mamdani, probably because they’ve assessed he’s not an actual leftist but more of a fetterman type.
His net worth is estimated at like 200,000 dollars. I’m pretty sure Susan Collins has more money than he does.
The fetterman comparison is meaningless, the only thing they have in common is some of the staffers that worked on Fettermans campaign now work on Platners, which was before Fetterman turned coat on everyone.
It’s an establishment created comparison to pin the traitor on the Millennial Democrats rather than the establishment dems, which Fetterman was.
I believe Platner because he had no political ambitions before running for this office. He doesn’t have the acumen to play politics like it’s played in Washington now. PR campaigns, carefully constructed and prepared statements, lots of flowery, cutesy slogans and catchy jeers and zingers slung at the other side.
I listened to his town halls, and he talks about actual policy and what we should do, what working class people need today, and he emphasizes that he can’t do it alone. He emphasizes the need for organizing labor.
I’m tired of the leftist purity test ruining any chance of actual change. He doesn’t have a perfect past, but his positions indicate personal growth and I think that is the bigger consideration in solving the problems we face, instead of jerking ourselves off about how enlightened we are.
I certainly hope I’m wrong but when he gets into power if he ends up being a right-wing chud you’ll look like the dumbest mother fucker who ever lived because he had a literal nazi tattoo that you hand waved away.

I’ll take that bet
Alright, I’ve tagged your username so we’ll see where we’re at in 2 years
at least you’re being honest with your oppo bullshit instead of the “oh geez, fellow leftists, I don’t know…” facade.
