Why wouldn't you back other pro-gun politicians?

You have a simple choice:

1. Vote for a clean and polished career politician who is bought by corporations.

2. Vote for a normal person running a populist, anti-corporate campaign, but who also has a messy reddit comment history.

You can't have both.

The fact that Platner got through military checks with the tattoo is, in my view, less of an indictment on him than on the US-military and it's dangerous tolerance of nazism and white nationalism.

They probably didn't tell Platner because they were so used to seeing these kinds of tattoos.

You can probably find a whole tsunami of reactionary and homophobic statements made by past me if you dig long enough on the internet.

It's an unfortunate side-effect of being a fallible and evolving person in the digital age.

Platner is just the first politician to truly get to feel that shit.

This is why there can never be a united left, because we actually believe in things, wheras the right doesn't.

You can be a Libertarian, a Neonazi or a Tradcon and be part of the same right-coalition, because you're ultimately part of the giant grift.

On the left, actual opinions collide.

Why the fuck would he run as a democrat on a left-populist platform if he was a convinced neonazi?
It literally makes no sense for him to make an apology video saying that he didn't know the meaning and get it removed if he was actually far-right.

My god the meltdown over Platner has been tiring. It feels like everyone is letting their anger out on him, instead of directing their hatred towards Trump and the Republicans.

Can we please stop purity-testing Graham Platner over a symbol he quite clearly didn't know the meaning of?

Even if Platner had a nazi past. That doesn't change his current politics. It wouldn't be the first time a former far-right military veteran gets radicalized to the left.

I support Platner.

But that doesn't change my critiques of historical AES experiments and their failures.

I'm tired of the reductive political analysis that campists engage in.

Some Socialist states were undoubtedly overthrown or sabotaged by western powers.

There is a whole list of countries, which were deliberately destabilized and their governments overthrown by the US-government, such as the ousting of chillean President Salvador Allende, or the CIA-Coup in Bolivia.

โ€œWhen I left, I felt like Ring had gotten to a place where it was linear innovation,โ€ he says. But new features like Search Party, an AI-powered tool that can search your neighborsโ€™ Ring camera footage for lost dogs, are the type of innovations he always dreamt of but couldnโ€™t execute. โ€œNow, with AI, we can,โ€ he says.
While research suggests that todayโ€™s video doorbells do little to prevent crime, Siminoff believes that with enough cameras and with AI, Ring could eliminate most of it. Not all crime โ€” โ€œyouโ€™ll never stop crime a hundred percent ... thereโ€™s crimes that are impossible to stop,โ€ he concedes โ€” but close.

Sliwa: "I was shot 7 times"

Bernie not winning in 2016 or 2020, while tragic, doesn't really matter in the long run.

Ultimately, Bernie's movement is much larger than himself. He walked so that Zohran could run.
