www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o... This article is super revealing because it has Maine Democrats saying that Platner is a real, earthy, genuine, tough fighter, unlike Janet Mills or Sara Gideon or Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton, who are all, well, I'll let you figure that out.

Dems are sick of Schumerian milquetoast centrists. And of Dems' habitual defensive crouch. And of Dem gerontocracy. And they are, above all, sick of squeaky-clean, angle-playing, professional-class Dem ambitionbots. People like a bit of spit and dirt in their leaders. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...

Michelle Goldberg was one of the few NYT journalists who actually came to Maine and spent some time before writing about GP last fall. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...

Deep, really deep... Don’t Underestimate the Fury of Democratic Voters www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...

After hearing Grant Platner had a “Nazi tattoo,” I didn’t dismiss him. As a veteran, I did my own research. I’m glad he’s the Democrat here instead of a 78-year-old centrist. If Platner can’t beat Susan Collins, I’ll be more than a "little concerned." #Maine www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...

An insightful opinion piece and the first I've read noting what I have advocated for. That is a Tea-party equivalent among the left of center that originates at the base level The author gets a lot right in this. "Don’t Underestimate the Fury of Democratic Voters" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...

“Platner has used his campaign to organize for causes besides his own election.” #bigidea www.nytimes.com

“Voters have a different theory of what is electable right now,” said Rebecca Katz, a founding partner of Fight Agency and a media consultant to both Platner and El-Sayed. “Someone who knows what they believe and is willing to fight for it.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...

"Democrats all over the country regard their party’s leaders as feckless in the face of Trump’s blustering authoritarianism. They are desperate to break up the power of the oligarchs...and believe Democrats have been too timid in pushing for sweeping reforms" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...

I think ppl should read this, regardless of where they fall

Not only Democrats but independents. My guess is that you may not be able to tell the difference between progressive and moderate candidates come the main event. The vote will be for change. Again. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...

There's reasons to be wary of Graham Platner. But he's been very visible in Maine since he started his campaign. Voters have had the opportunity to absorb the criticisms of his past & weigh that against what he's saying today & how they experience him in person. @michellegoldberg.bsky.social: /1

People are often more complicated than folks on BlueSky think. And Mainers have decent reasons for feeling the way they do. And he will likely be a much better Senator than Collins has ever been. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...

Willie Horton was first raised by the moderate Al Gore in 1988 against Dukakis. Dukakis ignored it. Bush picked up on it & creamed Dukakis with it. Bush Swiftboated McCain first, & Kerry ignored it. Democrats are idiots. They raise the issues against themselves www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...
