As an independent I love your thoughtful conversations! To those Dems watching who think you are "eating your own", it's dangerous to live in a 'yes' culture; there must be constant thoughtful conversations and questioning to reach the best outcomes. Unquestioning support leads to blind spots that can cause catastrophic failure. So keep it up! And loved seeing Katie at Miami's No Kings! Thanks for the selfie!

Great question about Graham P if he was participating in a No King’s Day in Maine. I liked his message of universal health care, etc., but, am concerned about the symbolism of his tattoo he still has and has not removed. People are complicated. He needs to try and convince us that he cares for all people and why he will make a good addition to the democratic ideals as a candidate.

Hi, and thanks for all you are covering.

I wanted to express an opinion. We need a positive slogan and direction to focus on. Having reactionary slogans and actions are good to demonstrate resistance and disagreement. But we can not move forward from a negative space. Like an affirmation, we need a solid positive direction to know where to pour our energy and other resources. How about P.A.S.E.

Maybe Mike, it would be helpful to interview Graham Platner and ask your questions. We would all benefit from that discussion. I'm registered to vote in Florida and can only wish we had such an exciting candidate to oppose those in power.

I’m in my mid 70’s, a registered Democrat my whole voting life, and I appreciate these types of conversations. I came from a split family dynamic where we had “provocative decisions” every night around the dinner table, especially during the 60’s and early 70’s. We need to engage young adults and teens to help us understand each other.

Excellent conversation!! I'm disappointed to hear of his reddit posts and tattoo. If he was running as a Republican, it would just get brushed off as no big deal. If I was in Maine, I'd still vote for him. He seems like a good guy.

And I literally laughed out loud at the Ansel Adams Phang!!

Ambiguous candidates are not fit for the urgency of this moment.

I agree with you Mike, Graham Platner is not to be trusted.
