Has anyone here actually looked into what Planter believes? His campaign has been pretty good from a left wing perspective, including as mentioned opposing genocide in a state where anti-zionist rhetoric is not popular amongst the political establishment. His reddit history paints a picture of a dude who was radicalized to the far left. All of the evidence to me points to him being genuinely left wing. His tattoo story of getting it while drunk in Croatia and not knowing the symbolism makes alot more sense than him being an actual Nazi. It just blows my mind that so many lefties fall for these media narratives that paint their own as bad guys.

    The same people cheering this on (see Loomer) are the ones who told everyone they had the moral high ground by being against political violence when it happened to their boy. They don't mean what they say.

    The antidote to infighting in my experience is organizing in ideologically diverse spaces. I've organized with liberals and all types of different leftists. It has left me with the perspective that all these people are good people that just want better for the world. It's hard to get angry at them once you know them. Per usual the solution is to touch grass.

    Apparently the results from that poling station were annulled and the members of that local election commission were fired. Not sure this is proof of any widespread voter fraud in Russia.

    The video in the social media posts is CCTV footage taken in Lyubertsy in the Moscow Region of Russia in March 2018 during the Russian presidential election. After the video circulated online, election results from that polling station were annulled and the chairman of the local election commission and a member of the election commission were fired, according to the Washington Post.

    edit: also getting down voted for asking for a source is hilarious 🤣
