Not trying to call anyone out (though if you feel called out, consider why that is), but the only thing worse than pro Platner people talking about his "inevitable takeover of the party" is ostensibly anti Platner people doing the same but despairingly. We're going to beat these chuds, act like it.

at the very least there isn't any signs he isn't back yet

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iranian attack on Jerusalem

i do not think a guy who oopsie-daisies himself into full tilt nazi shit on a shockingly regular basis as a nobody will somehow develop better judgment when he's one of only 100 US senators and surrounded by significantly more people who want his ear

a thing that doesn't really get enough discussion about platner is that, even if you assume the latter here is true (and i do), it's going to make him strongly susceptible to malign influences if he gets elected to the senate; the framework to think about him isn't fetterman, it's gabbard

Egg @patob.bsky.social-46m I've come to the conclusion that the Planter is the Twitter left's version of Hillary. All the red flags in the world and plenty of time to find someone else but a stubborn refusal to actually change course because of pride 2 03 Jesse Hawken @jessehawken.bsky.social -44m Is he popular with the left though? It all seems astroturfed to me 2 01 Barrista @onbluskysku.bsky.social-35m Yes he was explicitly recruited by Maine labor unions because they don't like Mills and has been running on left wing populism this is not remotely ambiguous 3 Jesse Hawken (@jessehawken.bsky.social -34m Do you think this is still the case though, that it's a leftist movement? Barrista @onbluskysku.bsky.social- 33m Yeah why would it not be 1 3 The Fig Economy @figgityfigs.bsky.social- 19m Failed, be failed, &c I assume 2 Mister Magic @mistermagic.bsky.social-32m Seems like left wing populism and right wing populism have some glaring similarities in who they demonize 1 waxmonkey @waxmonkey.bsky.social-18m populism is a lie no matter which end of the spectrum it comes from 01 waxmonkey @@waxmonkey.bsky.social -33m he was recruited by fight agency, the group that gave us fetterman Jesse Hawken @jessehawken.bsky.social-32m Well there you go

Turk! @turkenschmidt.bsky.social. 39m Are we really still using the tattoo thing to say that Platner is the same as Newsom when his opponent in the race is just Newsom in an old woman's body 1 Jesse Hawken @jessehawken.bsky.social. 37m The tattoo thing? Please elaborate 1 Turk! @turkenschmidt.bsky.social . 28m Him getting a totenkampf tattoo 20 years ago without realizing what it was and covering it up when somebody pointed it out to him. It's fair enough to get a skull and crossbones without realizing it had further significance but obviously a bad look to keep it that long and not notice 2 Jesse Hawken @jessehawken.bsky.social - 27m It speaks to his judgment 1 Turk! @turkenschmidt.bsky.social - 25m It does, but until you can magically conjure a better candidate in the Maine Senate race he's the only choice 1 Jesse Hawken @jessehawken.bsky.social- 24m I have no say on the matter beyond being grouchy about it, just don't want to see another Sinema/Fetterman 1 1 Read 1 more reply The Fig Economy @figgityfigs.bsky.social- 4m He was on an antisemitic YouTube show, said he was a big fan, earlier this year (and March only just started).

Just...watch how quickly and confidently the dude states that it definitely isn't leftists promoting Platner, followed by some dude doing Nazi Tattoo apologetics and him nodding along with it.

Deeply unserious people.

I mean we can look at Labour to see how a stronger party "fixed" their issues
