    I nominate a friend of mine, Perry O’Brian, of Camden Maine, to replace Graham (article he wrote a ways back)

    Perry is:

    U.S. Army veteran who served in Afghanistan

    Helped lobby both Republicans and Democrats to support the first impeachment of Trump.

    Has been the organizing director of Common Defense, the Senior Campaign’s director , and many other hats at Common Defense, a anti-war progressive veterans organization which has helped get many progressives elected across the country

    And he lives in Camden Maine. Or at least he did a year or so ago.

        Wild take when most veterans end up that way because they didnt have any other real options at the time.

            Point us to the country that has no active or ex-miltary in its legislature. I’d love to see this Nirvana to which you refer.

              Imagine categorically rejecting someone because of a job they had.

              A lot of active political people here are hopeless. They don’t know a thing about a person except one vague item and that’s already disqualifying.

              No wonder people here are always upset. No one will ever be good enough.

      Fuck Camden! The downtown is a snarled mess of pedestrians and state highway traffic.

      Lovely place if you don’t have to pass through, though.

    even it’s it isn’t true (doubt it, multiple women came out with similar allegations and evidence), he’s a fucking blackwater merc with nazi tattoos.

    so, Nazis are only bad when the other party has them? fucking blue MAGA idiots.

    no need to mince words, if you support him, or supported him at any point, you’re on the same level as MAGA

    No liberal lefty cunt is going to tell me punching Nazis ain’t the way… you were voting for one

      Oh look at that, you are capable of commenting on this without blaming the literal rape victim. How about that.
