Graham Platner has traversed a long and unlikely road to become the Democratic nominee for the US Senate in Maine. Can he beat longtime GOP incumbent Susan Collins and live up to the promise of his firebrand populist campaign?
Why did Kyrsten Sinema or John Fettermam run as Democrats?
Apparently we are easy marks, and getting someone in who represents the opposite party of the one they were elected as, is a massive boon for that party. It’s a +2 (-1 seat for Democrats, +1 seat for Republicans).
Because they were. They didn’t just become Democrats to run and reach the congress. They’d been for decades before.
If you expect that anyone who reaches the Congress will stay un corrupted. When Congress is designed to corrupt. Yes you’re an easy mark. The Senate was designed from the bottom up with corruption in mind. That was it’s whole purpose. The house was hobbled over a century ago to be more easily controlled by the oligarchs and the wealthy. Corruption is the natural outcome. It’s a rare person that can avoid it.
What I mean by why. Is exactly that. It wasn’t a riddle or cryptic in any way. If plattner is a nazi. Then why is the party that is the primary home for bigots and Nazis so adamantly attacking him for what they openly are. If plattner is a Nazi, then why are the worst parts of the democratic establishments attacking him. Since they commonly align themselves with the fascists and Nazis in the Republican Party? It’s not a rhetorical question, work it out.
Plattner has absolutely said stupid toxic masculinity dude bro shit throughout his life. At the same time when confronted with it he’s genuinely shown an ability to understand, listen and learn. But yes I get that a tattoo is serious shit. It’s not like people getting drunk and getting random tattoos they don’t understand the meaning of or even remember is so common it’s a trope. (It is) it’s not like there’s tens to hundreds of different websites across the internet just displaying these and making fun of them. (There are) Hell I’ve got materials with a totenkoph on it that I’ve come to regret having after the fact. I need an apparent expert opinion. Am I a Nazi in secret even to myself?
All kidding aside. If he’s so clearly a Nazi as so many people are trying to imply. Why can’t I find any evidence of it? Why hasn’t he taken for instance a single cent from AIPAC? Why is he opposing the genocide in Gaza, which far too many Democrats won’t even distance themselves from let alone call it out. Even Chuck Fucking Schumer, democrat leadership in Congress won’t condemn it. And has used his position to stop others from condemning it. Can you point out a single action he personally has taken that clearly marks him as a Nazi?

Sinema was actually in the Green party before becoming a Democrat. There was a time where her being a Leftist was believable.
Yes she worked on Ralph Nader’s campaign. But she had been in the Democratic party since 2004. The power and the influence 100% corrupted her
