Hello People of Maine! I have a few questions about the recent events!
Hello, I am a french leftist and I follow closely US Politics. I followed the rise of Graham Platner because he was saying all the right things and threw no minorities under the bus.
He was a radical but he also had very very big red flags in his resume and body...
I'm wondering how you are feeling!
I understand the deadline to swap candidates is next week. Is anything planned? A calling campaign to the local Democratic party? A demonstration?
You deserve a fighter, I don't know if you have a strong DSA or anything but don't forget that the power is yours.
In France we were successful in pushing out candidates with allegations but we don't have a two party system so our candidates kept the radicality.
Please don't let your voice be erased by your local party! Yes vote blue no matter who BUT try to get someone you really want to vote for before voting for the least bad option.
Sorry if this post doesn't respect the rules but I truly feel for you all and I wish you can help defeat the rise of Trumpism and Thiel aligned ghouls!
Good luck, love from France.
