does it rly matter that he verbally expresses support gaza if he hunted brown people for sport himself?

What do you mean? He was an adorkable goof who got tricked into going overseas to murder people. We have to focus on the present, things that happened more than fifteen minutes ago aren't real, and also isn't forgiveness what left politics are all about?

If you weren't a hexbear I would have thought your comment was real.

From how things are going you can't assume even then

With respect. This is exactly the wrong take on Platner. He has never renounced his past service to the US military. He regrets only the particular boondoggle he directly participated in (so-called war on terror), not as a systemic critique but a strategic critique which embraces the system.

Platner is a progressive face on US imperialism. He advocates for better veteran healthcare and has apologized only for uncouth comments he made about fellow soldiers. Leftist candidates have no business campaigning on pro-military stance.

Platner is radioactive and there is no reason to accept Platner in any capacity
