I wish politics could be more nuanced. But it isn’t. It’s shorthand, and checkmarks, and hashtags. And the sacrifices Graham and Amy have made to serve working Mainers and fight The Epstein Class, make me bristle at anyone that still questions his political integrity. Especially when the stakes are this high.

Dude.. I’m truly disappointed. Your argument that ‘if he actually was.. they’d love him’, holds zero weight when YOU know their disapproval is 10000% manufactured. Getting his knowingly hateful ink ‘covered by a trans person’, THAT’S not performative?? Come ON. Genuinely, I respect your work, your knowledge and your journey, but this ain’t it my guy. The lesser of two evils is STILL evil. Why are you continuing to choose it?

*sigh* We pnly need to look at his behavior. No one accidentally gets a yahtzee tattoo and conveniently volunteers to work for blackwater to k**l people for fun, and then becomes a totally different person. I hope I'm wrong, but this is really naive to hope someone is different just because they say the right words.

This is a garbled mess. So the corporate interests aren't backing him because they know he's against them; they would have to have heavily investigated him to know that, which means they knew all about his history of racism, misogyny, bragging of war crimes, the tattoo, serving at Abu Ghraib, the affairs with 12± women, etc.; why the hell would they stay quiet about that if he's against them and they want to stop him? Wouldn't it make more sense that he went from a guy with zero background in advocacy, government, leadership, or management and if anything was the perfect conservative candidate to being groomed as the new great white savior of the left as a corporate-funded infiltrator? Y'all sound like Trump supporters back in 2016.

As an outside from your sister corner of the U.S. I think we have a lot of pattern matching to Fetterman. Obviously not the same, but it’s a fear of “The blue collar guy” taking the fight to congress. I’ve trusted your scrutiny and discernment for quite some time and if you’re giving him the thumbs up, then I feel like y’all have a chance to out Susan Collins.

I love you so much but you'll never catch me placing any hope in Democrats. That's not hope; it's delusion. Being a Democrat means he's /already/ sold out (as if he was ever not).
.
Training people doesn't sound quite as nice when he's also keeping people committed to the system that's oppressing them instead of opposing it.

This is a very nuanced take. Social media is just noise. I appreciate your perspective and hope that Plattner will be another leap into building a better world. Thanks!

we cannot live without hope. we can be practical about it, but at many points in our lives, we must have it

Yeah, you just lost your credibility.. Your whole channel is about unpacking toxic masculinity, and yet here you are defending a toxic man from credible allegations

Another absolutely well thought-out and poignant video Jack. Thank you for this, and your ability to clearly state your thought process around all of this. It’s important work, and you do it well.

feeling similar about Talarico in TX. I haven't been this excited and optimistic since Bernie in 2015. I keep looking for red flags too and not finding them.
I also really like Platner.

Thank you for this perspective. I needed to hear it...to maintain hope. Annoyed also. Should we now fear is that Mills will split the vote?
