Bernie Sanders · Bernie's Substack

There is one candidate running for the U.S. Senate in Maine who understands that:

We cannot continue a rigged economy in which 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck while the top 1% have never had it so good. We cannot allow, for the first time in modern history, our younger generation to have a lower standard of living than their parents.

We cannot continue a corrupt campaign finance system which allows billionaire-funded super PACs to undermine our democracy and buy elections.

We cannot continue to be the only major country on earth not to guarantee healthcare for all as a human right.

We cannot continue a tax system in which billionaires often pay a lower effective tax rate than truck drivers and nurses.

We cannot continue to spend huge amounts of money on illegal, unconstitutional and endless wars.

We cannot continue to allow the Republican Party to control the Senate and push forward Trump’s oligarchic and authoritarian agenda.

And there is only one candidate who will do something about it.

That candidate is Graham Platner.
