He held the phone close enough to his face that you could make out the shallow lines on his forehead, the flecks of white in his mostly auburn beard. Two days earlier, Jenny Racicot, a woman who once dated Platner, had alleged, in an interview with <em>Politico<\/em>, that he had showed up drunk at her house, in late 2021, and raped her. Staring sternly into his phone camera, with a verdant, sun-streaked treescape behind him, Platner explained that he was suspending his campaign not because he\u2019d done what he had been accused of\u2014he insisted that it was not \u201can admission of guilt\u201d\u2014but because the baseless \u201cattacks\u201d against him were aiming \u201cto take everything away from us,\u201d namely the inroads his campaign had made for progressive politics in the state of Maine. He claimed, not for the first time, that he\u2019d never harbored a \u201cdesire to run for office,\u201d that he and his wife were \u201cregular people\u201d who had not been \u201clooking for this experience.\u201d He implored us, the viewers of his video, to consider what we would do if \u201clarge forces were working against you personally to accuse you of the worst thing that a person could do, and it was not remotely true.\u201d Would we keep fighting in the face of such a \u201cbrutal political reality\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=936\">How Ukraine Brought the War to Russia<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since entering Maine\u2019s Democratic Senate race, last August, Platner has cast himself as a \u201crandom guy\u201d with zero political ambition. He was living a quiet life as an oyster farmer in the small Down East town of Sullivan, when two political consultants and Democratic Socialists of America organizers\u2014Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan\u2014reportedly showed up at his door and asked him if he\u2019d be interested in running for U.S. Senate. Morris Katz, a top political strategist for Zohran Mamdani, also became involved, telling Platner, per the <em>Times<\/em>, that he was a potential \u201chistorical figure\u201d who could be \u201cleading a revolution\u201d if he accepted the challenge and ran for office. Apparently, they\u2019d seen a video of him on the internet talking about Norwegian salmon and knew he was \u201cthe one.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Platner\u2019s skepticism of the pitch only made him more closely resemble Plato\u2019s ideal philosopher-king: the reluctant leader who had to be persuaded to take power for the good of the people. Platner suspected that the \u201ccorporate media system\u201d and the \u201cpolitical establishment\u201d would not welcome him\u2014a kettlebell-swinging, gun-toting, callous-handed combat veteran and manual laborer\u2014but he eventually decided to risk personal disparagement if it meant advancing the progressive platform he so vigorously championed: enacting universal health care, taxing billionaires, lowering housing costs. That establishment Democrats didn\u2019t accept him made his candidacy even more appealing. A man of the people, a working-class hero, a diamond in the rough unearthed by political operatives riding the high of Mamdani\u2019s rise\u2014the narrative, in and of itself, was a winning strategy.<\/p>\n<p>In Maine, where I live, Platner generated swift and feverish support, the type of political enthusiasm that\u2019s impossible to manufacture. Genuine excitement fomented among my milieu of twenty- and thirtysomethings\u2014we finally had <em>a guy<\/em> we could throw our weight behind and organize around, someone who embodied the sort of uncompromising leftist politics that, just months before, had appeared unlikely to take hold in a state whose voters had elected Susan Collins, the Republican incumbent, to the U.S. Senate for five consecutive terms. Like much of New England, Maine has an independent-minded, anti-establishment electorate, with third-party candidates, Tea Party Republicans, and mildly progressive Democrats all achieving statewide electoral success over the past few decades. On the surface, Platner\u2019s politics seemed like a non-starter for a Maine Senate candidate, and a prohibitive obstacle when courting the state\u2019s rural, right-leaning voters. But his anti-establishment attitude and antagonistic relationship to power made his message resonate among unexpected populations, including the northern working-class demographics that have increasingly moved away from Democratic candidates in recent elections. Platner is fluent in the language of \u201cfreedom,\u201d a word that goes a long way in Maine. (I grew up across the border, in New Hampshire, where the state motto, \u201cLive Free or Die,\u201d is a jingoistic, oft-evoked rallying cry.) The brand of freedom he presented, however, was not the libertarian ideal of uninhibited personal sovereignty but a more collective vision rooted in economic security, \u201cthe freedom to live lives with dignity and fulfillment, the freedom to not be ripped off by a for-profit health-care system, the freedom to have a roof over our heads that we own,\u201d as he put it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Platner\u2019s national profile grew when clips from his early town halls began circulating on social media. These short-form videos captured him as a hoop-earring-wearing populist with sun-worn skin and a roll-neck sweater, a guy next door who expressed the requisite anger about the country\u2019s mass-deportation crisis and the genocide in Gaza. He is a theatrical, gravitational speaker, with a facility for channelling anger and discontent into forceful, emotionally rich rhetoric. His specific policy plans could be opaque, but his pathos was distinctive, his convictions bone-deep. (He\u2019s said he viewed his campaign as a continuance of Bernie Sanders\u2019s Presidential bids, in that it centered on \u201cmovement politics\u201d and orchestrated \u201cpower through organizing.\u201d) Unlike Mamdani, whom Platner has often been lazily compared to, and who wielded social media to novel and wildly fruitful ends, Platner is not as much of a digital native, and is a far less polished poster. During his campaign, he seemed most drawn to the front-facing-video format, whose intimacy mirrored his rustic persona and allowed him to provide confessional-style, improvisational-seeming direct addresses to his base. Whereas Mamdani\u2019s social-media content appeared engineered by zippy creative directors and frequently crossed over into the realm of content-creation accounts and influencer TikToks, Platner\u2019s campaign tailored his social posts to a more targeted audience: people who, like him, didn\u2019t use the platforms for brand-building but as a way to share unvarnished ideas and interests, to \u201cconnect,\u201d in the more originalist conception of the apps.<\/p>\n<p>Platner\u2019s lack of digital savviness had a dark side, of course. His old Reddit posts surfaced several months after he launched his campaign. The archive was mostly military-focussed\u2014comments that discussed firearms and the intricacies of platoon life\u2014but scattered throughout were homophobic comments and offensive slurs. His political outlook could be discerned from these posts, many of which seemed derived from left-wing political podcasts like \u201cThe Majority Report\u201d and \u201cChapo Trap House.\u201d Platner went on to film a video in which, positioned in front of a stack of empty lobster traps, he apologized for his insensitive language, claiming that it came from an \u201calienated\u201d and \u201cisolated\u201d post-military temperament. These were intended as \u201cstupid joke comments,\u201d he said, designed to \u201cget a rise out of people on the internet.\u201d Even when, some time later, his account on the live-chatting platform Kik came to light, in which he reportedly sexted with women while married, the divulgence appeared more depressing than disqualifying\u2014surely Platner could not have envisioned, in his past life as a \u201cregular person\u201d and a \u201crandom guy,\u201d that a picture of him wrapped in a towel from the waist down would be plastered across the home pages of major media outlets.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=934\">When A.I. Is a Member of the Family<\/a><\/p>\n<p>These scandals\u2014along with the revelation that Platner had drunkenly got a Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest, apparently thinking it was a standard skull-and-crossbones insignia\u2014certainly dampened his otherwise surging momentum. But they also perversely deepened his veneer of authenticity. (In a video posted to Instagram, Platner apologized for the tattoo while standing in front of a barn, his sleeves rolled up and his hands tucked into his pockets.) When trying to explain these controversies, he characterized himself as a flawed man with a complicated past, someone who suffered from P.T.S.D. and stubborn masculine conditioning but who was <em>doing the work<\/em> and walking the righteous path toward redemption. He\u2019d married, gone to therapy, and started a new career as an oysterman. Besides, part of his appeal relied on his craggy imperfections, his aesthetic and ethical opposition to his buttoned-up political contemporaries. Even when the <em>Times<\/em> published, several days before the June primary, the stories of three women who had dated Platner and claimed that he displayed \u201cunsettling\u201d and \u201caggressive\u201d behavior at various points in their relationships, his campaign still managed not to crater. He apologized for past mistakes and poor behavior but denied claims of physical altercations or intimidations. He labelled one of his accusers a \u201cpolitically motivated\u201d Republican antagonist. Other women who had dated Platner offered their support for his character. He won the Democratic primary in a landslide.<\/p>\n<p>Racicot\u2019s allegations made it difficult, if not impossible, to offer Platner any further grace. Her narrative of abuse is harrowing, and vivid\u2014any denial of it scanned as delusional and self-protective. (Platner and his campaign described the allegations as being \u201ccoached and coordinated by out of state establishment operatives.\u201d) A saturation point had been reached; it soon became clear that Platner\u2019s days as the Party\u2019s nominee were numbered. High-profile politicians, establishment and progressive alike, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, urged him to withdraw from the race before the statutory deadline. Left-wing internet personalities such as Hasan Piker, Mehdi Hasan, and Emma Vigeland also denounced Platner and called for him to drop out. Before any official announcement had been made, volunteers from his campaign lamented the inevitable end of his candidacy in a string of leaked Discord posts. \u201cPeople can be flawed and become better, but hanging your movement on the coattails of somebody credibly accused of sexual assault is the exact thing we are trying to be better than,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cHe is not coming back from this and we should find someone to carry on the ideals now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Many misguided assessments of Platner and the progressive movement have emerged in the week since he exited the race. Conservative pundits have giddily lambasted liberals for their hypocritical moral standards, painting Platner as a predator and a Nazi, using his downfall as a way to deflect criticism away from their own movement\u2019s rampant misconduct and abuses of power. Establishment Democrats, too, are taking a victory lap, marrying Platner\u2019s anti-establishment ethos with his personal transgressions. To hear them explain it, he\u2019s a \u201cdude-bro,\u201d a leftist Trump, a \u201cshameful catastrophe,\u201d someone who cosplayed working-class aesthetics without any of the necessary experience or ethical standards. These characterizations\u2014especially the comparison to Trump\u2014seem reductive, at best: as Jon Allsop recently wrote, for <em>The New Yorker<\/em>, Platner, when speaking about his past transgressions, \u201chas used a language of therapy, self-improvement, and belonging which is almost impossible to imagine coming out of Trump&#8217;s mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And yet, in his eleven-minute campaign-suspension video, Platner did not come across as the romantically earthy or sympathetically imperfect figure his supporters so badly wanted him to be. Instead, he possessed the desperate and agitated posture of someone backed into a corner. He did not apologize or take accountability; he attributed Racicot\u2019s claims to a wider smear campaign. I struggled to watch the entire thing in one sitting, to endure the framing that \u201clarger forces\u201d had fabricated Racicot\u2019s story and strategically planted it in the media with mere days left before the deadline for removing a candidate\u2019s name from the general-election ballot. Throughout his campaign, one of Platner\u2019s most compelling thematic frameworks was his erasure of self, his egoless subsumption into the working-class voting body he sought to represent. \u201cThe race has never been about me,\u201d Platner said, in April. \u201cIt\u2019s about a movement of working Mainers who are fed up with being robbed by billionaires and the politicians who own them.\u201d In his drop-out video, as traffic whooshed in the distance, Platner evoked this message with dwindled enthusiasm. \u201cMy name might be on the ballot right now,\u201d he said, \u201cbut that ballot line belongs to the people of Maine.\u201d He was dropping out, he went on, but he was not admitting defeat. His face told a different story.\u00a0\u2666<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=932\">An Unbeliever\u2019s View of the Jonestown Massacre<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brady Brickner-Wood on the end of Graham Platner\u2019s Senate campaign after he won Maine\u2019s Democratic primary, and the role that social media played.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":937,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-infinite-scroll"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
