Graham Platner, Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker Are Officially the Future of the Democratic Party
David Strom
As Beege wrote earlier, the Governor of Maine, Janet Mills, has dropped out of the Democratic Party race to become the next candidate for Senate this fall. It's an excellent piece, of course, but the subject bears even more discussion.
Mills was the hand-picked candidate of Chuck Schumer, who will himself likely be booted from his formerly safe New York Senate seat by a socialist candidate. As the Senate Minority Leader, he should have had all the cards, or more specifically, all the money in the world, to help Mills get over the finish line.
Mills dropped out because she ran out of cash. Nobody cares what Chuck thinks anymore in the Democratic Party because he isn't a communist, and especially because he still mostly supports Israel, although he has been trying to downplay his lack of hatred for Jews.
Being a hater and a communist are now crucial to getting support in the Democratic Party, and Platner fits the bill nicely, and if you add in a touch of being a card-carrying member of the elite while cosplaying a working stiff, he is perfect. Even the national Democratic Party has jumped on board.
There is no doubt that Platner hates ordinary people. He has said so often enough, and he proudly sported a Nazi SS Totenkopf for two decades before being forced to cover it up.
