Every time I see some dumbass shit like this, it's a good reminder that most of these libs would have hated MLK after the FBI started leaking dumbass shit about him committing adultery.

This is a distraction from his policies, which very powerful people will do anything to keep from becoming a reality.

Go cry about Brett Kavanaugh, Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump (the fucking president)....

Comparing MLK to a literal Nazi Abu Ghraib guard who bragged about how much he enjoyed gunning down brown people and the only reason he quit the military was because his pay wasn't increasing.

Liberal moment.

If MLK was a guard at Abu Gharib, got a giant totenkopf tattoo, and bragged about his "adventure" in the middle east and how much he enjoyed maiming, murdering, torturing, and raping his way across the middle east it would be just and right to hate him.

Oh come on. Do not dare compare MLK and other revolutionaries to Platner. If Fred Hampton had a Nazi tattoo and did fucking four tours of Afghanistan I would have talked my shit for that too. Don’t you ever use real revolutionaries to cover your disgusting liberal politicians gross crimes.

Yeah shame on those damn tankies for sticking to morals, policy, and holding people who are supposed to be part of our party accountable.

lol, I have, and I was the first time around when I was in High School and too young to vote. I was still very young, impressionable, I showed up to anti US military/Anti War stuff, I called my senators and representatives, I called the ones I disagree with too. You know what each and every one of them did? They had a staffer answer, “listen” and respond with a generic “thank you for bringing these issues to our attention, we assure you we will remain in contact to ensure the people of MN have a voice that can be heard!” Yadda yadda, and then they all sent me automated emails asking for donations. That’s it, no matter who or how many I times I called.

You know who is worthy of criticism in that time? Hillary and the DNC! They had the easiest win, possibly even helped Trump gain popularity and numbers because he wasn’t taken seriously as a threat. Now in 2024 we did an exact repeat, only this time Kamala was on tv the fucking day she lost, SMILING, saying “it’s okayyyy 🥲😅” like she wasn’t calling Trump (rightfully so!) a fascist just a week before. If that’s how they react to fascism I do not see why anyone thinks the DNC is willing to, much less ready to fight fascism in the US.

It is up to the people now, the working class, the unions, and a socialist party (a real one, not this American nationalist bullshit)

This was known about for over a year, there was plenty of viable candidates with the same and better policies without the baggage(to put it lighly)

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

what fucking policies are people even talking about? What part of his past informs you of his fucking policies?

[-] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 day ago

Agreed, but his policies are also nothing special

[-] lemonhat75@lemmy.today 1 points 23 hours ago

You guys are right. We may have a Democrat candidate for Senate that is pro-medicare for all and is an anti-zionist, but he's not perfect enough. He served as a machine gunner marine and not a ROTC officer like Pete or James David Vance, who would never say the things Platner has. That's why I'm going to fully support Susan Collins. I just couldn't live with myself knowing that Trump and MAGA may be held responsible if Democrats win the Senate with Platner. It has to be done the right way, with true revolutionaries that have zero life experiences.

They can never answer what alternative Mainers should vote for, they keep hitting these same notes without ever acknowledging the much worse opposition or platner's actual policy platform

[-] Marasenna@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 15 hours ago

we have to vote for Himmler because the alternative is Hitler

I don't know what the situation is with Maine ballots but if you can't write in an actual left candidate then don't vote.

platner's actual policy platform

Do you hear yourself? Who gives a shit about the "actual policy platform" of the war criminal with the nazi tattoo?
