The last ppl Dems should be taking advice from are Never Trumpers
If these folks knew how to beat MAGA, they wouldn’t have lost their party to the melting hippo.

Graham Platner: Our politics is inaccessible to the avg American and it’s time to take it back
Graham Platner:
Our politics is inaccessible to the avg American. It is theatre, a performance elites put on that we get to watch happen. But the only ppl w/ access to it are ppl w/ immense wealth or have connections to power
