Graham Platner has traversed a long and unlikely road to become the Democratic nominee for the US Senate in Maine. Can he beat longtime GOP incumbent Susan Collins and live up to the promise of his firebrand populist campaign?
I have but I’m a bad public speaker. I do political organizing in real life, including helping run a recurring mutual aid distribution, and that seems a more valuable use of my time than a quixotic vanity challenge.
The striking workers our strike kitchens feed disagree. The unhoused we give clothes to disagree. The tenant unions we support disagree.
When I want opinions on the real life organizing I do in my community, I’ll ask the other real life organizers in my community and the community I serve, not some random internet stranger.
like throwing a bucket of water into an ocean of suffering lmao. I appreciate the work you do. Seems like you do it because you’re a self righteous prick and not because you actually want to help people.
This comment reminds me of my friend who was fine getting rid of USAID because he thought his church mission trips were more important than the national efforts to fight hunger and disease around the world. It’s the most republican point of view in existence. Keep doing good work, maybe work on the actual spirit of your charity, and quantifying your reach compared to the reach of an entire nation.
Like idk you’ve left me with a weird combination of admiration and irritation. Ur perspective is too narcissistic but the work you do is good!

Your mutual aid does nothing in the face of federal legislation. And the destruction of social safety that we’ve watched over the last 18 months.

Well if someone doesn’t, we’ll never have anything but lesser evil candidates.
