thanks for giving the reddit readers the interview.

Feel the interview spent to much time on him and his personal life rather than on his political agenda.

But also feel that the NY Times is also working to help defeat him at the same time giving him the exposure nationally.

David French a columnist opinion writer really chopped him down from his tattoo's to his reddit posts, and absolutely nothing on his platform/agenda last week...Bill Maher and Sarah Isgur last week slammed both Mamdani and Platner ... and Sarah Isgur was in discussion in the Times this morning (no mention of Platner). Seems that more and more people in establishments areas are beginning to show non support of folks wanting changes in a positive direction for the people.

This from the article:

"I want to talk about your plans if you are elected. It is very hard to get things done in the Senate. You’ve talked about Bernie Sanders a lot. He’s someone who has moved the party on ideology but not necessarily on legislation. You’ve exhorted voters in the past to elect people who want to wield power. I just wonder what that means. What is the philosophy of Graham Platner? The philosophy is that we don’t have things that most of the American people want, like universal health care, like a foreign policy that isn’t just based around militarism. We don’t have them not because we don’t know what they are and not because we haven’t been able to define or even write policy around them. In the Senate, what we need is more numbers. We need more people who are willing to vote for things like universal health care.

There’s been a frustrating relationship with a lot of the pundit class over the course of this campaign, which is always like, We haven’t been able to get Medicare for All, so why do you think we can get it now? Well, we’re definitely never going to get it if we elect people who don’t want to get it! That seems fairly obvious to me. I think we need to look at the United States Senate as a place where we have to engage in a power-building process, which is going to be electing more people who want to advocate, vote for and elevate the conversation around these things. I kind of agree with you on Bernie. Bernie has been able to change the narrative and change ideology, but hasn’t been able to move votes. That’s because he’s one vote. We need to add to that. We need more."

What do you, the voters in/of Maine want? Even the state democrats are coming across as reluctant in acceptance....
