First and fucking foremost: Its not a question worth answering. What are their policies? Are the M4A? Are they for taxing the billionaires? Are they for public financing of elections. Those are questions that matter in an election. What is the candidates policies. Period.

You even bringing this up as an issue: You just a piggy piggy piggy hog eating up the class-destructive slop. Oink oink piggy.

How does she make her money? Does she do work to make that money or is her money primarily from investments of capital, not doing work? Owning a fucking business doesn't make you a fucking capitalist. You have no FUCKING comprehension of who the capital class are. The problem isn't just how fucking ignorant about the basics of capital and labor you are, its also the exceeding amount of damage you are doing to our best chances at actually changing the system.

The reality is that politics were never meant for the working class, and still aren't for the working class. Its basically impossible for anyone without a sufficient social safety net to run for office. Graham Platner is as working class as they come. Period. Preposterously so. The fact that you even contend that, you've been a victim to a propaganda campaign and just ate it right the fuck up.

    Policies do not make one working class.

    One's relation to capital does. If she makes her money by owning a restaurant, she's owing class, not working class.

    The reality is that politics were never meant for the working class, and still aren’t for the working class. Its basically impossible for anyone without a sufficient social safety net to run for office. Graham Platner is as working class as they come. Period.

    So, in other words, not working class. Just like you said: politics were never meant for the working class, and still aren’t for the working class.

    "As close as they come" doesn't mean anything. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

    Maybe she's still a good politician or a good person despite being owning class. But that doesn't make her working class. Working class doesn't mean 'good people' and it doesn't mean 'allies of the working class'. It means 'people who work for a living'.
