    We need more Graham Platners running and winning.

    I can’t believe how many “liberals” are falling for the smear campaign by the right against him.

    I’d rather have a candidate that admits his mistakes and has now adopted the correct positions, than these establishment freaks virtue signaling while supporting an orange pedophile war criminal.

      It’s not just the right, it’s the establishment. The shit he is saying challenges the oligarchy at its core, and the dominance of Israel over America.

      Even if you are a hardcore leftist who doesn’t believe in the sanctity of our democracy then at least understand Platner represents a better boss battle then the other two options presented. (Though there were better options in the primary, but i digress)

        Yeah, totally. That doesn’t mean we can’t / shouldn’t be aware of past actions and vehemently disavow them, especially now that he’s won! Hopefully, the next anti-establishment politician isn’t a murderer with a Nazi tattoo with intents to bolster the military and incentivize service.
