6. The commercial media, of which MS NOW is part of, obviously, is throwing all the crap they can at Graham Platner. Chris

Hayes looked like he was trying to swallow rotten fish through the whole interview. We had to get up and walk around before we started throwing things at Chris...who was formerly one of my favorite pundits. Not anymore after that hit job.

This is nothing but a very powerful top 3% moneyed interests and power hungry establishment that is terrified of the power shifting to the people. But people on both sides of the carefully crafted divided country are wondering why we pay taxes and don't get a whole lot more out of them, instead of wars, and slush funds and tax breaks for the wealthy, and a military that is playing with bombs that get blown out of the sky by a plastic drone....not because we didn't have the capability and the technology, but because some military weapons company made more money buying politicians and selling politicians on the bombs instead of the drones.

Platner, Abdul El-Sayed, Zoran Mamdani and other progressive democratic socialists are bringing back the FDR attitude, and there are too many people who have made themselves very comfortable, and well financed, by running away from FDR type government.

Perhaps you should have a word with Senators Warren and Sanders. sheshe2 Jun 5 #8

It was a meeting with many senators which happened to include Warren and Sanders and came at Platners Nanjeanne Jun 5 #18
