The poll shows that 58% of likely Democratic primary voters favor Platner. Janet Mills, Maine's two-term governor, who was recruited by national party leaders, was polling at just 24%. None of the other candidates in the crowded field received more than 1%.
Yah I forgot politicians are always honest about their intents and goals on their platform websites, my bad.
I think committing war crimes and tattooing fascist symbols on your body is a pretty good indicator of the quality of a person.

Good luck
Interesting that the website you linked uses heavily biased language, cites a source that’s literally a guy who knew a guy who knew Platner, and consistently attacks the most prominent left-ish figures in American politics like Mamdani, Sanders and Cortes. Looks to me like a phony left website set up to trap leftists into thinking it’s on their side. Hmmm what does Common Dreams have to say?

Interesting.
Yeah, the language of the site is charged and I don’t agree with all of it, but it really doesn’t set off any alarm bells for you that this guy served at Abu Ghraib and later became a mercenary for Blackwater as recently as 2018? Like the dude with the Nazi tattoo who signed up to kill more people for US interests during the first Trump admin doesn’t seem like a red flag?
It doesn’t strike you as strange that this dude had a Nazi symbol tattooed on him for nearly two decades and only got it covered up recently when there was bad press about it?
