In a world of complicit corporate politicians, Graham Platner is leading with courage, conviction, and compassion -- the Democratic Party should take notice
It is so refreshing to see a Democrat, with conviction to what actually needs to be done, speak out. The problem is Palestine cannot wait until he is elected. Help needs to come now. Everyone needs to contact their Democratic Senators and push for netanyahu to be tried for crimes against humanity, and aid needs to be provided to the innocent citizens, especially the children.
Democrats need to clone many more Platners!! I donated, which is rare for me unless they seem extraordinary!! Usually, I donate only to state of Washington candidates who can enhance my environment.
Thanks, Qasim -- I live in texas, but each election, I give to Dems that I'd like to see win -- it's the cumulative number of Senate Dems that matter, not just from the state you live in (and for me, in texas, tho we keep trying, the change isn't going to come from here, ... not yet). An OYSTER farmer! and a Marine!, I'm intrigued, and donating. Tired of Susan Collins dangling her "concern" every time we need a vote!
I live in Oregon but I am happy to break my donation hiatus. He was not on my radar at all, but I will be checking him out. Thank you, Qasim, for the info.
When I got his text with all of that information I immediately sent him a donation. I have stopped all of my monthly donations to all candidates as of now. I will only donate to candidates that refuse to take money from billionaire PACs, especially AIPAC! I am over giving money to Democrats that are just phoning it in. However, after the primaries, I will vote for the Democrat over the Republican. I am always telling my friends that primaries are the most important part of the voting process. With so many career Democrats getting more and more conservative, we need to primary every single one of them! There was a race in Harris County in Texas last year with a career Democrat throwing transfolx under the bus. Run For Something put up a candidate that primaried her and won and went on to win the election! I also like to donate to David Hogg's PAC, Leaders We Deserve. Both of these organizations are putting forth younger candidates with more progressive stances. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk!
Qasim I just read your articles about Graham Platner and the wretched actions of the Supreme Court that jeopardize ALL people of color. Thank you for your excellent work. I, too will send a contribution to Platner’s campaign. Susan Collins needs to be removed. Blessings to you my brother.
Amen to this. I'm so sick of emails and texts asking for money when I am hearing zero voices from the Democratic Party. Do they learn nothing from their opponets? Why aren't the callling press conferences every day to rebut the lies and coverups? Disappointing and disgusting.
Last Monday, on Labor Day, we spoke to thousands of people who came out for the Workers Over Billionaires rally in Concord, New Hampshire.
Later that night, we headed up to Portland, Maine to campaign for Graham Platner who is running in one of the most important Senate races of 2026 and Troy Jackson, who is running for Governor. Almost 7,000 people came out for a great rally.
Not only is control of the United States Senate on the line in this race but, with Graham, we can elect a working class candidate who will join me in taking on the greed of the billionaires.
We were also joined by Troy Jackson that night in Maine. Troy has also been part of our progressive working class movement from the beginning. He has always stood with those of us who understand that health care is a human right, that workers deserve a living wage, and that we need a government that works for all — and I am proud to stand with him in his campaign for Governor of Maine.
So, do you still support him now that it’s come to light he has a Nazi tattoo?

All for Graham Platner! Thank you for endorsing his candidacy.
Donated. Thanks for bringing Graham to everyone's attention!
