AOC is a very talented young Democrat with a great message

and I'm pretty sure she will not be endorsing Graham Platner or making excuses for Graham's own words and actions.

Zohran Mamdani is pretty great too. And when Zohran becomes Mayor of NYC I'm pretty sure he won't be endorsing Platner either.

So if youth is the big thing you care about, you might want to start following these two. But don't be shocked when you find out that these two young candidates won't be attacking fellow Democrats based on their age. They are passionate, they truly care, and they are not sh*tstitters.

there have been others that challenge Democrats but even if I disagree with them I can kind of understand them. We can ser their history and what they did before. They are usually active in some liberal causes or worked for other Democrats.

Even some who might have a Republican or conservative background we can see where and how they started to change.

But this guy is suddenly talked up as some great progressive and then we see he has said right wing shit just a few years ago while and after Trump's first term. So it's not like it was years ago .

I don't know what his deal is.

But he should absolutely not be running for Senator with his background baggage and garbage.
