Really hard to tell with politicians, the whole game is to seem like a good person to as many voters as possible. You only find out once they don't need voters anymore.

Ok, well I'll take that over politicians now that don't even bother to lie. Democrats nowadays don't lie and cater to the Right.

At least Obama ran on a campaign of change while fucking us all in the ass. Politicians doing that though shift the Overton Window and change the permission structure for what you can and can't say on a political campaign.

Graham Platner will do his job in pushing the envelope, and other progressives will follow suit.
