Like the high school version of himself vowing that administrators couldn’t suspend everyone, Graham Platner — veteran, oyster farmer, a nonpolitician with the Reddit posts and questionable tattoo decisions to prove it — is telling today’s Democrats that the way out of the current era isn’t to simply keep fighting Trump; it’s for a mass movement of regular people to organize and challenge the entire system. If he flips a Senate seat, it just might mean that the post-Trump Democratic Party has finally begun.

I’m a Maine Reporter Who Went to High School With Graham Platner. Here’s What Explains His Success.

Chuck Schumer is spending corporate money to override his own party's voters in Maine — where the grassroots frontrunner leads by 38 points.

When did the Democratic establishment start crushing its own primaries?

Why Should Chuck Schumer Choose Maine’s US Senator?

Trying to stop a real democrat from being the party’s nominee, Schumer recruited Maine’s lame-duck, milquetoast governor to run against Platner, knowing she would not challenge the corporate order. He raised truckloads of corporate cash for her, hoping to suffocate the oysterman’s populist uprising.

Well, that didn’t take long. Just got a fundraising text message from #JanetMills. considering the fact that I’d rather vote for a raging rattlesnake, I don’t think I’ll be giving her any money. her consistent blocking of anything brought to her by Maine's #Wabanaki People as well as blocking studies to determine the feasibility of bringing #Amtrak northward are disqualifying. Plus, she'd be the oldest freshman Senator ever sworn in in the history of the United States. Absolutely not. #USPol #MainePolitics

@indivisibleteam "Just one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted against the measure. And just one Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, voted for it."

All right Mainers, if Jared Golden is your rep, let him know that you think he's a traitor.
