The Democratic Party is trying to move on from Graham Platner's problematic candidacy after a rape allegation, but activists want to hold him up as a cautionary tale and a harbinger. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/08/31/world/us-metoo-part-deux/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #sexualharassment #metoo #grahamplatner #maine #democraticparty #cheyennehunt #ericswalwell #donaldtrump #jeffreyepstein #harveyweinstein

"When #JamieIsaacson received an application in his mailbox earlier this month to help choose the #Maine #DemocraticParty’s next #US #Senate #nominee at Saturday’s #nominatingconvention, he wasn’t interested.
If accepted as a delegate, #Isaacson, a 72-year-old #Jewish #Portland resident, would have joined 601 Maine #Democrats at the party’s convention in #Bangor to select a replacement for #GrahamPlatner, the staunch #Israel critic who bowed out of the race earlier this month following #sexualassault allegations, which he has denied.
Instead, Isaacson sat it out, vowing not to have anything to do with the party that had chosen #Platner as its nominee in the first place.
“I thought it wasn’t worth my time, to be honest with you,” Isaacson told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “I mean, we’ve been blindsided by the #Democratic Party here and nationally, and I’ve been a #Democrat my whole life.”

Right Wingers are all over the Sunday shows this morning hyping the #Maine Senate race, lambasting #GrahamPlatner for his "Nazi tattoo" & alleged abuse of women (by people using Conservative buzz-words.)
#Republican "concern" over this race... accusing #Democrats of "hypocrisy"... is itself dripping with #GOPHypocrisy.

I do not know if #GrahamPlatner is the best candidate (I have no dog in that fight), but #Republicans do NOT get to claim the moral high-ground when it comes to his (now covered up) "Nazi" tattoo.#GOPHypocrisy #Fascism #Nazis #NaziTrump #Musk #Bovino #Hegseth #ConcentrationCamps #Racism

After Mills Exit, Platner Vows to Defeat Collins With ‘Movement of Working Mainers’
#GrahamPlatner, now the presumptive Democratic nominee in Maine’s #USSenate race, said that “we are now taking back our power.”
https://www.commondreams.org/news/graham-platner-susan-collinsfrom #CommonDreams
Apr 30, 2026“The race has never really been about me or any one person,” said #Platner. “It’s about a movement of working Mainers who are fed up with being robbed by billionaires and the politicians who own them."
Platner vowed to defeat incumbent Sen. #SusanCollins (R-Maine), but he said the ultimate goal is to “start tearing down the system that, for too long, has forgotten and written off the people who make Maine and this country what it is.”
While powerful national Democrats had backed Mills’ candidacy in the primary, Senate Minority Leader #ChuckSchumer (D-NY) and Senator #KirstenGillibrand (D-NY) endorsed Platner shortly after the #Maine governor suspended her campaign.
