Oh look at you, ignoring MASSIVE red flags and the fact that there are far better candidates in the race.

He doesn't support progressive causes you gullible numpty. He voted for Republican Collins THREE TIMES. He's Fetterman 2.0 (you know, the "progressive" darling kissing up to Trump right now).

Platner is not truthful though.

Yesterday for example, speaking to PSA, Platner was provably, obviously dishonest about Gov Mills' record.

Governor Mills, by the way, tells it like it is, doesn’t answer to special interests, and shows up every day for working families.

β€œTells it like it is”

What a curious phrase to use for someone with a history of platforming conspiracy theorists and antisemites even this *year*, and who had an abhorrent Nazi tattoo for years.

Something we should know about regarding your own beliefs?

this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying

The dude just endorsed a guy with a Nazi tattoo, who says a racist sexist neonazi podcast is one of his favorites... a guy with a long and recent history of posting racist, sexist, misogynist, and homophobic posts on social media... a guy who lies about his past and worked for Blackwater. Wake up.

Kamala isn't in the Epstein Files.

Wouldn't have weaponized ICE.

Wouldn't have attacked Iran w/o Congressional consent just to try and legally and politically save herself.

Poor children would have food asst, no illegal tariffs, and no DOJ Protection Agency.

But y'all owned the Libs.

What sickens me is that Pod Save America, Bernie, Chris Murphy and Ro Khanna fully support him.

My Great Uncle was murdered by the SS. That choosing an SS tattoo is not a deal breaker for them is mind-boggling.

(one of the things I wish more people would get is just how toxic the "closet" is... which is one reason I push straight people to watch shows like Heated Rivalry, where you see in no uncertain terms the damage having to hide does to people, and to relationships)

Just need to point out that Republicans always lie. So when they were talking about cutting waste, that was, of course, a lie. They instead cut critical services, so they could waste taxpayer dollars on tax cuts for the wealthy, their own greed, and wars.

Tycho stood. "It's called the gray fallacy. One person says white, another says black, and outside observers assume gray is the truth. The assumption of gray is sloppy, lazy thinking. The fact that one person takes a position that is diametrically opposed to the truth does not then skew reality so the truth is no longer the truth. The truth is still the truth."

Our media, pundits, and influencers are SO GUILTY OF THIS.

I'm so damn tired of the US
cycle where Republicans kill
our economy, move wealth to
the richest 1%, and start a war
and then Dems have to clean
it up. Then once they get on
the right path, Americans are
impatient or fixate on some
GOP created culture war, and
think they should have fixed
it all in less than 2 years and
re-elect GOP liars who will
start the cycle again.
Absolutely exhausting.

Everything bad right now in this country is 100% voters' fault.
NONE of this shit had to happen. ALL of it could have been prevented. Voters in this country, most emphatically WHITE voters, need to get a fucking clue and break this pattern of self-destruction.

Hegseth said Joe Biden did nothing. True, he didn't bomb Iran or depose Maduro but he did lead us out of Covid, kept the peace & didn't enrich himself at our expense. Oh, and he didn't rape girls like Trump did. If bombing becomes our only way to "do something" we are in trouble.

Trump gets bored talking about starting a Mideast war and detours into an extended discussion of drapes and his ballroom. He's mentally unfit and must be stopped.

Another Republican President starts another war in the Middle East.

Everyone pays the price except them while their buddies profit.

Biden is the only one who had the guts to end Bush's 20 year war and ppl despised and attacked him for it because a suicide bomber killed 13 service members.

Progressive Senate Candidate Graham Platner Deletes Tweet Boosting Notorious Neo-Nazi Graham Platner, the progressive candidate for U.S. Senate in Maine, deleted a tweet on Thursday that shared a post from avowed Neo-Nazi Stew Peters.

That last comment was not an outlier. Platner - like Fetterman - frequently seeks to distance himself from the Democratic Party, even as he's "running" as a Democrat, as he did when retweeting a post from another fascist podcaster

It was pure selfishness so they could self-righteously say they didn't vote for "genocide". That their carelessness would kill millions and harm tens of millions more didn't even enter the equation.
