Tough, focused, plain-spoken. Graham Platner set a very good example.

(13,605 posts)3. The woodchopping is good imagery
It succinctly conveys generically hard work and is also a little bit dangerous so it grabs attention. It's a great counter to Republicans shooting something with a rifle. If more candidates use it, it could be part of a "working hard" versus "hardly working" meme. I think this is an area of weakness for Republicans in Congress, who are not doing their jobs but just rubberstamping Dear Leader's agenda.

Collins is the more despicable inasmuch as she works to present herself as a moderate.
Cruz is a dutiful foot soldier for evil - but he's not hiding it.
