The progressive running to unseat Republican US Sen. Susan Collins of Maine is speaking out forcefully against President Donald Trump’s march to war with Venezuela, warning of alarming parallels with the invasion of Iraq over two decades ago.

In a video posted to social media on Wednesday night, Graham Platner—a Marine Corps and US Army veteran who served multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan—said it is “terrifying” to witness the US government “yet again trying to lead us into an illegal war that is going to do absolutely nothing for the average American.”

Wouldn’t that just kill his election chances? Afterall, only 35%+/- of voters in the us bother to vote. And most of them are MAGA. Every previous oil war was started by a Republican president.
