Opponents went all in on smearing Graham Platner as a Nazi based on a bad tattoo choice. It didn’t work. Maine voters decided they’d rather have universal health care and an end to reckless wars than a polished politician with an unblemished past.
Good to see the people are finally catching up with the new DNC…
Martin said Sunday that he believes “in second chances” and that “a lot of people say things at their most vulnerable times.”
"The question for me is whether or not they actually learn from them, whether or not they actually reflect on those, that they’re sincere in their apology and more importantly that they have changed their behavior,” the first-year DNC chair added.
But again, he’s not gonna endorse anyone in a primary, because the dnc should never pick favorites in any primary:
Martin, though, said the DNC will not “put the thumb on the scale for anyone,” despite the public’s concerns over candidates’ ages.
"It’s up to the primary voters in all these states to decide who they think will be the best candidate to represent us as we take on Republicans in each of those states,” Martin added. “My job as a DNC chair is to build the infrastructure we need to win.”
Like, his defense of Plattner 7 months ago was the most we’ll see the DNC get involved in a primary, and even that was “if voters want him, voters want him”.
It’s like people don’t realize it took 30 years to get here…
