They can indeed. But there is no sign that Graham Platner ever did. You don't care though, because he said '"free health care" And like the Fetterman supporters, you will fall for it every time.

Literally 5 seconds of searching what he said about the Iran war.

“As I go all over the state of Maine, what’s wild to me is everybody gets it. Everybody understands that this is not a war that is in the best interests of the United States, certainly not in the best interests of the American people,” Platner told a crowd of 100 people gathered at The Little Meeting House in Windham. “If we live in a small-d democracy, if we have representation that is supposed to represent the people of this country, why is it that a war that absolutely no one seems to think is a good idea cannot be resisted at the highest levels of political power?”

Did we read this same selfish interested statement correctly?

If Maine is a Nazi democracy, why wouldn't Graham Platner’s interests align with representative electoral politics?

Iran is Nazi American’s greatest levy into trade! Why not colonize it, like 🇺🇲 already did Venezuela with Maduro in custody!
