for over two and half years.

Graham was a most ardent champion in opposing these ongoing atrocities along with taking on the oligarchs that dominate our economics, and politics here in the U.S. He won more votes in the Democratic senatorial primary than any other Democrat in Maine's history while garnering 72% of the vote as a first time candidate.

The people of Maine just had their historical vote eliminated by the DNC with its' guilty until proven innocent verdict, and elimination of critical election infrastructure required to win the general election thereby undercutting Graham's candidacy. That's why he dropped out.

Politico, and the corporate media in general didn't include some critical details with their saturation hatchet job of superficial coverage in trashing Platner thereby promoting the subversion of democracy in Maine.

I've always thought that whatever values a person, institution or nation promotes abroad eventually comes home to roost whether it's respect for democracy, and human rights or not.
