Keep the focus on Platner’s agenda | Letter

Democrats should stop clutching their pearls. Graham Platner isn’t perfect. However, he’s traveled the state and country demanding a huge change in government business as usual. He is forcefully speaking truth to power and the powerful will do anything to stop him and the political movement he champions.

Democrats are easily manipulated and the Republicans know that. If the focus is not on
Graham’s agenda, but rather smearing his character, then the political business as
usual will win. Democrats must stop allowing this to happen.

Any allegations against Graham Platner are being treated as true. He’s innocent until proven
guilty, remember? Please don’t be shocked that powerful people will do anything to stop
Graham’s movement.
