Joe Stiebvery clear they literally "cast" Platner because he looked like wealthy progressives' idea of working class

Credible allegations of sexual assault cannot be ignored. Voters in Maine deserve a choice for US Senate that doesn’t force them to make a moral compromise between sexual violence or corporate servitude.
When the govt of a nation founded on religious liberty has been taken over by Christian Nationalists, abusing state power to impose their anti-Constitutional vision, I’d like an opposition party leader to speak the truth about history instead of adopting the Cristian Nationalists’ preferred fiction.
