Yeah, man. "The character of elected representatives isn't relevant to how they'll govern" is gonna be a tough sell, man.

    You never know the guy personally, so there's always risk. But Platner and his wife have been honestly adressing all allegations. I'd rather take my chances with someone that supports all the right policies than with someone "safe" that doesn't.

    ... he honestly addressed the nazi tattoo? Cause I saw a politician's response to that, rather than an honest response.

    Listen, people being skeptical about the Blackrock Mercenary with the now-covered nazi tattoo that can speak pretty sounds like a pretty reasonable stance to take

    Yes, he honestly addressed the tattoo issue. Dozens of times.

    Here’s one

    I'm not watching a 16min interview for you and your timestamp had nothing to do with the tattoo. Try again

    Definitely. I think people are suggesting we vote for candidates who openly oppose policies we support, rather than folks who openly endorse them.

    Mainstream media has folks fuckin brainwashed.

    They need to stop watching the view, god damn.

    Nah, man. I'm saying the character of a person is relevant to their candidacy. There are lots of great progressive and DSA endorsed candidates this cycle. Platner doesn't need to be the guy that every one circles around

    Yea, and the woman who is someone he dated. After they found 13 women he dated, this woman alleging abuse worked for heritage foundation and also founded a group called women for Kavanough the Supreme Court justice so…

    I call bullshit

    And I’m saying you don’t even care about character. Platner has more character than you, that’s a fact.
