54. Wow! I just put Graham Platner into the search on YouTube, and it's like a wasps nest!

The (commercially powered) powers that be in this country are jumping all the hell over his ass! It is so friggin' pathetic! The very same media that brought donald trump into EVERYONE'S life in the world, is now talking about how friggin' unacceptable Graham Platner is!

Don't forget how scary liberals are in all of this!!! Heaven forbid we have people who support democratic values in real time! Not the nice, polite, quiet, willing-to-play with the rulers faux "liberals" (who the 1% will fund every day of the week), but the ones who actually give a damn about the citizens of the USA and the world!

The same media who gives the entire republican party....the Gym Jordans, the Jeffrey Epsteins, the donald trumps, the Ken Paxtons, etc. a TOTALLY free pass, is jumping all over one dude!!! One dude!

Like "the whole house is on fire and don't think for yourselves just panic and run!!!" They couldn't be more obvious, and so many democrats ( who don't even think about, much less grasp, what it means about losing Maine) are going to join the chorus.

Just another carefully choreographed media/1% blitz.
