Episode two chronicles the explosive twenty four hours when Graham Platner's campaign announcement video generated two and a half million views and transformed an unknown oyster farmer into a national political story. The episode examines why unions sought Platner to challenge Susan Collins, how strategist Morris Katz crafted a message naming the oligarchy as the enemy, and why the authenticity resonated when countless campaign launches fail. Within nine days, Platner raised one million dollars and recruited over twenty seven hundred volunteers. Bernie Sanders endorsed him, the Fighting Oligarchy Tour launched, and media profiles multiplied. The episode explores how viral attention built real momentum and what it revealed about hunger for authentic working class voices in American politics.
