Graham Platner: People Are Sick and Tired of ‘Performative Politics’; ‘We Are Playing an Entirely Separate Game’

TRANSCRIPT:

PLATNER: “I think there’s just an exhaustion with this kind of politics now in the electorate. I think that’s why the negative ads that the governor’s campaign came out against us backfired spectacularly. Our support has gone up. And so, I think people are sick and tired of this negative performative politics, a politics that is not remotely built around discussing policy. We are playing an entirely separate game. We are — we are doing a campaign that is entirely different, being far more organizing-focused, really focusing on going out into communities and connecting with Mainers directly.”
