Graham Platner, the Maine Democratic Senate candidate backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), wrote in 2020 that he had an "antifa supersoldier" label on his "armor," according to an archived post reviewed by Axios.
Why it matters: Progressives have elevated Platner as one of their top candidates in next year's midterm elections, but his old Reddit posts have thrown his campaign into turmoil.
Platner is running to unseat Sen. Susan Collins, Senate Democrats' top Republican target next year.
The contest for the Democratic nomination between Platner and Maine Gov. Janet Mills — who's preferred by Democratic Party leaders — already has become a proxy battle in the national fight over the party's future.

They used to be rare….
The current situation is our "Troubles" (at least in bug blue cities).
So the KKK in white was the same to Democrats, in terms of a asymmetric boogeyman force against Americans from the 1870’s thru the early 20th century as the Antifa in black are to democrats now in the early 2020’s.
They haven’t really changed...in tactics and in their desire to overwhelm and rule people!
