Graham Platner of Maine for Senate!

 

This Marine vet will win handily against Susan Collins. He is an answer to the quasi-Democratic mouthpieces on the internet who repeatedly criticize Democrats in Congress for not having clear policy goals.

I'm sooo tired of hearing that US problems are the fault of a weak Democratic leadership. And I also am tired of hearing Pelosi and her husband's bundle of millions probably acquired by her inside knowledge of government contracts used as a rough EQUIVALENT to the seemingly universal financial corruption of this administration.

Pelosi is one name. Trump's insiders profiting are MANY!

I do not excuse Pelosi. But there is no comparison of who is better at stealing between Democrats in Congress versus Republicans in Congress. I hope there will be follow-up criminal prosecutions if we get a functioning democratic republic again.


This Graham Platner is clearly elucidating his platform. He's a start. 

Medicare for all.

Unionization of workers.

Stop wasting lives and billions in conflicts that make no sense.

The Supreme Court corruption to be disrupted.

Money out of elections...Citizens United must go away.

Voters rights eliminated by gerrymandering and absurd document requirements...all to skew election results in favor of Republicans.





REPUBLICS: HOW THEY DIE

 


Republics don't exist forever without constant vigilance by the people of the republic. 

They can come into being after violent struggles or fade away if the populace permits it.

When the Republicans, and in this designation today I include Democrats & Republican representatives, allow the country's military might to be gradually merged with the elected leaders, the republic is in peril.

We have seen many generals and flag officers fired without cause by this administration, then replaced by flag officers essentially swearing loyalty oaths to the president. Who controls the military will control the republic. What can follow is the decline of the republic into an autocracy, an empire, a military dictatorship...NOT a true republic.

The Roman Republic eroded in this matter with generals allying themselves, and thus their soldiers and weaponry, to the next likely Emperor. 

The US is undergoing this similar erosion now.
