Platner wore that Totenkopf insignia for TWENTY YEARS. He never had it removed. Seth Moulten says maybe Platner just didn’t understand. But Platner describes himself as a student of military history! Democrats: Find another “proletarian”!

I’d take Mills any day.

I had a millennial accuse me of being - gasp! - a Free Press reader - which, if true, absolutely disqualified the validity of any thoughts I might express.

Joe, a 63 year old farmer remembers Jimmy Carter doing the same thing, and a dozen other times both Reps and Dems sold him out, the last 40 years. His ace in the hole, is world soybean consumption, generally matches world production. The soybeans will be sold, one way or another. That doesn't mean Trump didn't blow it , when he failed to hop on Air Force 1 and sell the grain around the globe.

The one thing the farmer does not want, is his 12 year old track star granddaughter sharing showers, locker rooms or track meets with kids with different private parts, deeming themselves female.

He also doesn't want his 3rd grader grandson, the one with a little difficulty reading, losing teacher time because 3 new students in his class, speak 3 different languages, none of which are English.

Please add to your list, Sherrod Brown who will, at the tender age of 75, ask Ohio voters to return him to the Senate. 4 years after a stint as Biden's lap dog on open borders, limitless spending and child social engineering, sent him home.

As old as Dems might be, would still contend they have a policy problem, not a messaging or age issue. Seth Moulton found his manhood for a day, when he acknowledged he didn't want his young daughters run over by a trans athlete on a soccer field. Then Progressives attacked , and the Marine folded like a cheap suit.

Why is it so hard for Dems to say, adults should live as they please, but children need different arrangements? Few demand 6th graders have access to martinis. Why are locker rooms different? Why can't trans athletes compassionately compete, with their own events and own locker rooms? Figure out that and the border, and Dems have no limit, regardless of age.

So far as I know, Seth did not fold on trans.

I could be wrong , my memory is not what it was once was, but seem to recall shortly thereafter, Moulton labeled a Rep bill "extreme" when it simply required athletes to use the facilities and sports teams of their births. Seth called the issue complicated.

Would bet big money, when Moulton's daughter is 12 he will not want a child with a penis standing next to her in the school shower or running against her in the 100 yard dash or on a soccer field.

To that end, he will place her in an expensive private school, where children with different genitalia are not be allowed to utilize the same shower or athletic field. Moulton will still refer to the matter as "complicated".

If Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner (D), had read Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer", he would have known how easily it could have happened, to go from Communist to Nazi or vice-versa.

"But you got to give it to Trump, they also said: He speaks his mind, however pestilently." Very nicely stated, thank you.

Moulton endorsed Platner and is now refusing money from AIPAC -- and the sum that he has received and is returning is rather small. Seems pretty clear that he is moving left. Spangenberg has not repudiated the Democrat running for Virginia Attorney General, the candidate who said that a Virginia Republican politician and his family should be murdered. And neither Spangenberg nor Sherrill has effectively refuted accusations that they support the trans agenda. I am not impressed with this new generation of candidates. They are all running on their biographies, but what do they really believe and what will they do?
