Meet Graham Platner. Here is one white guy who can help save the Democratic Party from itself, imho.

131. You're absolutely right.

This interview was the first time I’ve heard GP speak, and I was bowled over by the way he so effectively handled questions and delivered the Democratic message In a way I’ve been wanting to hear from elected Democrats. I love Jasmine Crockett, AOC and others, but know their audience is limited by the rampant, free-floating misogyny in our culture.

His detractors may take him down before he can break through, but if my intuition is correct that he isn’t the monster he’s being made out to be, GP has something that could appeal to a wider audience. It’s easier for me to trust people who demonstrate that they’ve learned and evolved from past stupid choices, than people like butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-his-mouth, holier-than-thou, goody-two-shoes creeps like Mike Johnson.

At this stage of the mess we’re in, it would be a shame to lose Platner’s fearless, articulate, and yes, masculine communication skills. We need all the help we can get. All hands on deck.
