    Please just don’t have a stroke Graham.

    Read a bit further. Looks like Katie Porter’s former chief of staff also running: https://electjordan.com/#issues

    Difference I can see right now is that Graham Platner is calling for M4A, Jordon is calling to “protect and strengthen Obamacare”. Kind-of a tell on Jordon’s part. Also i don’t know what to make of Jordon’s line “Its time for courage, not concern”. Like bruh its long past time for concern.

    Any Mainers care to weigh in?

      Not a Mainer but that line is poking at Collins, who has developed a reputation for expressing concerns about things and then lacking the courage to vote against them.

      Just let me know which one of them has the chutzpah to call Israeli’s actions a genocide.

      If you don’t have the “courage” for that much, then you’re going to be dead weight when its time for a domestic Truth and Reconciliation Commission to uncover the dirt in our own backyard.

        My money is on Graham for that, considering he’s directly calling for Schumer to step down. My money would go to Jordon calling for “defensive aid only”, but its early days.

    We need a LOT more of this kind of political action.

    Come on you living beanbag chairs of Lemmy, get out there and either run or help someone like this run. We can STILL save this shit if we all just got off our asses and started exercising basic human emotions again and learned to care about things. Passion for causes doesn’t just make you feel accomplished, it makes the ladies and lads-who-wear-cat-ears wanna snuggle up to you. Whatever the fuck ya’ll are into nowadays.

    Leave your goddamn phone at home. Get an old Nokia or fish one from the river so you can take calls from the campaign staff. Just so you can’t scroll.

      Yeah. I agree. Its worth noting its a wide field right now.

      But the centrist seems to be hedging. My guess is that this bites the centrist in the ass.
