    Dems dropped metoo during Biden so they will just ignore all the allegations and evidence to keep support the wholesome progressive nazi

    pretty sure at this point he's a purposeful psy-op to humiliate and discredit progressives, and progressives took the bait hook-line-and-sinker. Every lib here who argued we have to be "pragmatic" and "vote for the lesser evil" just played right into the hand of the CIA discrediting their own electoral movement they care so much about supposedly.

    For caring so much about electoral politics, they don't seem to have very good strategy or understanding of what's happening or recognizing a poison pill being shoved down their throat by the CIA and blackwater mercs. "You are letting the Zionists win if you don't eat this poison pill provided by the US Military Industrial Complex!"

    If your rule lead you to here, what good was your rule? The succ's ironclad lesser-evilism pragmatism that they stick by in all cases resulted in them backing a removed nazi war criminal lmao. Turns out their entire strategy is bankrupt.

    Ryan Grim of Drop Site News has been intolerable on this.

    The problem with Ryan is that apparently he knew Platner from when he was a bartender in DC. We should know from Bernie 2020 how much being "good friends" with someone can warp your judgement dem

    Ryan Grim has been a bad take machine lately. What is with these journalists that start out with good positions always devolving into chuddery and crankery? Taibi, Blumenthal, Grim, etc.

    There seems to be a type. Why is it so rare to find any principled journalist in the alt journalism western world? Only ones I can think of in the "alt" sphere that haven't embarrassed themselves are Richard Medhurst (admirable for standing up against legal pressure and trumped up terrorism charges from 2 countries) and Ben Norton. I guess that's your answer right there, if you stick to your guns and say the truth no matter what they law cracks down on you or you get kicked to the curb from your job.

    Sanders is the one who comes out of looking this most like a chump I think. He very vocally protected him on the nazi tattoo issue, using his jewishness as a shield. They are very closely tied together in the public consciousness of anybody that knows about Platner.

    This is a massive L for Hasan and he's gotta own up to it but when were the chapo boys doing anything to support this piece of shit or his campaign?

    All they've done is make fun of what a weird chud this guy is, they were literally calling him a "wokeremoved" even before this came out due to his reddit comments about how he fantasized about SAing a hypothetical burglar who broke into his home and how he explained in said comments that he isn't gay becauseremoved is about power

    Maybe it wasn't the most principled leftist criticism of this war criminal piece of shit but it sure as hell wasn't an endorsement

    Least surprising news ever. Fuck that guy.

    The guy is a former Blackwater merc who worked at Abu Ghraib. Of course he knew what his tattoo meant, of course he came back from the Imperial Torture Megadungeon as a domestic abuser and of course you can't be left alone in the same room with him when you're a woman (or a burglar apparently). A week before the election, we'll see a picture where he drinks beer out of a human skull or whatever and people will still go all surprised pikachu because they do not get that all of that directly follows from his history in the "warcrime as a service" industry.

    Just another american nazi, GI, mercenary and an abuser to add to the list. But truly he's an anti-zionist and is progressive tho, says the white soc dems.

    i guess we'll find out how much clout this guy has with the establishment. is he joe biden levels of #metoo resistant or is he just another eric swalwell?

    i don't buy his insurgent progressive brand. i think he's one phone call from obama away from being in lockstep with the democrat agenda. so maybe he survives this. also fuck thisremoved nazi, he can go shuck oysters in hell.

    Fucking liberals, man.

    As someone who wants Democrats to win the Senate, I’m genuinely torn. Maine is one of the seats we have to flip. But if we walk away from our own standards just to win, what exactly are we asking voters to believe makes us different? Tough call.

    Platner is such a shithead, for so many reasons. I can't wait for a day where he's no longer in contention for power.
