How β€˜Big Tent’ Are Democrats Willing to Go? Many in the party say it needs a wider range of candidates to run. Does that include people with Nazi tattoos?

The most recent, and arguably the most in-depth and interesting, article about Graham Platner, his past, and the tattoo controversy. Sums up and refers to a lot of the other articles.

I urge reading through it all before jumping online to quote bits.

Headline is not true. If Trump minted an NFT of the East Wing, then it still exists on the blockchain and can be traded for the same value.

wow shocking

17% of ICE recruits fail written test after trying (with moderate success) to eat pencil

28%(!) of ICE recruits fail to make it up the steps of building to take test due to lack of cardio endurance

4% of ICE recruits were rejected after attempting to zip tie proctor

I'm an architect and can say that indeed plans do change, sometimes dramatically But the news media should not be fooled that plans changed re the East Wing - it's complete demolition has always been in the works. Trump is lying - again

The more relevant example would be Golden. But Platner is no Golden, or Fetterman.

I have twice asked McDonald directly on Facebook exactly when Platner told her that he knew what the tattoo meant. She has ignored me. (We know each other slightly.)

Genevieve was never his campaign manager. She was the political director for the campaign. She is clearly very embittered by something about her experience with the campaign and her comments should be viewed within that context.

There is no reason to think that Israel is behind the attacks on Graham. There is a lot of reason to assume that the Democratic establishment (DNC, DSCC, Janet Mills) are behind them.

Voters Weigh In, and from Waterville to Ogunquit, Mainers Are Standing By Graham Platner A new survey finds the anti-genocide Platner with a blistering lead over sitting Gov. Janet Mills. Our correspondent finds the energy on the ground matches the numbers in the spreadsheet.

This anonymous account in a publication which opposes Platner has not been corroborated there or anywhere else. It has zero credibility.

This is an anonymous quote with no second source in a publication which opposes Platner because of Gaza. Eg zero credibility.

Of course Graham knew about the tattoo's meaning - that is why he covered it. Genevieve flat out refuses to answer WHEN she knew that he knew. She had many issues with the campaign. There seems to be a great deal of bad feeling between them at this point, but it is not very relevant going forward.

Know a lot about Maine politics do you?

False. Blocking.

So what is your point? Do you think Graham walked in and asked for a Nazi tattoo and the tattoo guy picked one for him? What is at issue is whether Graham knew the meaning.

If I remember correctly the East Wing was always cramped and overflowing. Maybe the ridiculous 'ballroom' can be repurposed as an office building in the future (after remodeling its hideous exterior). Win-Win.

Or I could have been right. I have always supported Platner because I think he is the person with the best chance to beat Susan Collins. I am not blindly holding onto anything - I am waiting to see if that is still true. Very very few people I know are turning away from him.

Fortunately the election in Maine will be determined by those of us who vote here - not pundits like you.
