    The interpretations of his reddit threads feel… Very generous.

    Here is this thread as p-hustle about the totenkopf. He responds directly to a thread discussing the totenkopf as a Nazi symbol, but he does not mention it directly but instead talks about the punisher skull. But also he has an acquaintance who said he used to jokingly call the tatoo “my Totenkopf” over a decade ago and who had text receipts of talking about platners Nazi tattoo. plus planters political director, Genevieve McDonald, resigned and said that the campaign had been aware of the tattoo since she joined, and that Platner himself acknowledged it “could be problematic.”

    Then the rape threads. How does this sound like someone trying to “dispel any negative internal thoughts?”

    And since were doing reddit threads, here’s a bonus where he talks about urinating on dead bodies as only bad due to the current state of media??

    Look, if I lived in Maine, which I don’t so it doesn’t really matter, I’d vote platner (even if what’s her face democrat was still running in the primaries) because fuck the establishment dems and fuck Susan Collins. But I’m sick of pretending he has no red flags. Let’s vote for him, but let’s watch him like a hawk after.

      Gotcha, I haven’t seen the rape one you mentioned yet. That’s a pretty dogshit take from him obviously. The one I saw was less than 13 years old and was as I described it. The other examples don’t seem that smoking gun to me, but clearly 13 years ago he was a very different person.
