I’ll deal with “the lesser evil” but I will NOT stop asking for no evil
That dude needs to be watched and if people don’t know what he’s like because you decided the tribe identity is more valuable than your morals then your not better than the Republicans, because people are rightfully told to be wary of the dude who first said he didn’t know he had a Nazi tattoo and THEN admitted he was inspired by Nazi death troops. The guy accused of sexual assault too.
If you haven’t seen the news articles screaming about hypocrisy, how do you think you’ll beat the Republican if you don’t know how to respond to the accusations?
The fact that you are swallowing whole the narrative that the mass media is feeding you. Is part of the problem. It’s already been corroborated by the men he served with that they didn’t know what the deaths head was or what it meant and neither did he. The sexual assault allegations have already been proven largely false and fizzled out. Even one of the women contacted for the article has come out how the paper misrepresented her.
Maybe rather than just reading all these biased articles screaming about hypocrisy. Take the time to look into any of these accusations and see if they actually hold up. Don’t trust the media to be honest. Then you might actually see real hypocrisy.
Knowing after the fact is not even remotely the same as knowing while intentionally getting it. He was 23 when he got it. Nearly half his life ago. And several servicemen that were with him when he got it have corroborated his story. Let’s crucify every stupid teenager and young adult. I’m sure the Earth would be much better without humans on it. Seriously do you even read what you type?
The best answer if you end up being one of the people that wonder what Maine sees in this man. The best thing to do is to stop letting yourself be told about him and go talk to him or listen to the man himself.
If Graham has someone who isn’t himself advising him. They are both an idiot and a genius. Which kind of makes me think it is him. Kyle Kulinsky of secular talk the other day played a clip from an interview with platner where he spoke about masculinity and toxic masculinity. It’s at the end of the segment. I think that clip illustrates fairly well what people see in him.
As to him being another fetterman. I’m not going to say Graham will be perfect. He won’t. He’s going to disappoint everyone at some point. But he has literally called fetterman out personally. Fetterman didn’t just become an asshole overnight. It wasn’t the work of a stroke or anything like that. The man was a well-known bully and asshole in his own community. Even if he was a relatively successful mayor. He literally chased down and tackled an innocent black jogger holding them at shotgun point. Assuming that they were a criminal. The fact that he was bullying Mehmet Oz at the time was what everyone literally liked about him. They just thought it would never be turned on them. I’m not sure honestly what would qualify as anti-fetterman. But Graham is somewhere on the opposite end of the spectrum from fetterman. He’s willing to put himself out, be vulnerable, and explain himself. Apologizing when necessary. Something that fetterman has repeatedly refused to do.
I’ll give him a chance, don’t get me wrong. I’m just watching him for a bit. The tattoo, the sexting, all that stuff, is just some drama that is usually reserved for republicans. If he stands by his word and does c+ job, I’m cool.
Actually the main/only woman the New York Times used in their hit piece has called The New York Times out for being misleading and dishonest. It’s an epic shit show on the New York Times part. Illustrating that if they ever were trustworthy it certainly isn’t now. It’s hard to even know where to start with this whole clusterfuck. But the main woman referenced in their hit job is a conservative activist who helped start the women for Kavanaugh group to get his nomination to the Supreme Court through. And cover for his misogyny etc.
So let’s just start with that not being the sort of person you want to build a case or a story around in the first place. And then on top of that she’s accusing them of misrepresenting her. Now while I think she absolutely would do anything to make the New York Times look bad. The New York Times absolutely stepped in it themselves. And all the other women that the New York Times contacted but didn’t really use for their story have also chimed in that the New York Times description and representation of him was inaccurate.
Platner has called out Israel and AIPAC. They desperately want something, anything to attack him with. Which is why the New York Times ran with such a bad story.
How difficult is it to understand as has been corroborated and demonstrated. That he didn’t know at the time the connotations it carried. He was a drunk 23-year-old on deployment overseas during the Iraq War nearly 20 years ago. Drunk 23-year-olds often get edgy tattoos. Like skull and crossbones. Which is what he got. Unfortunately he literally picked out one from the wall that he would come to regret more than any of the other variety.
If you’re going to so definitely assert that the man is a nazi. Name one single action on his part in the last 15 years that demonstrates this. One single action. You can’t. The next best thing you even got is his Reddit post history. Which using the things he said in the past without listening to the things he sang now is hypocritical. But when it’s all you have it’s all you have.
Absolutely. Lots of people have things they are ashamed of or not proud about. So? Tattoos aren’t easy or cheap to get removed or covered up generally. Definitely not as cheap as just keeping your shirt on. If he was this Nazi that you are pretending him to be. This stupid stalling crossbones tattoo wouldn’t be your only evidence. And yet you’re still completely stuck on it

Don’t fucking call a Nazi tattoo baseless

Even if the dude has no trace of evil, he has 100% trace of stupid dumbass and his lying about the tattoo is disqualifying
Knowing after the fact is not even remotely the same as knowing while intentionally getting it. He was 23 when he got it. Nearly half his life ago. And several servicemen that were with him when he got it have corroborated his story. Let’s crucify every stupid teenager and young adult.

I agree with the tattoo, he might have been young and stupid. We just don’t want another fetterman in the mix.

Well that’s good to know. The propaganda worked on me then. I’ll give him a better chance now.
Then why would he deny knowing it, when it’s demonstrated he did know, and why did he keep it?
How difficult is it to understand as has been corroborated and demonstrated. That he didn’t know at the time the connotations it carried. He was a drunk 23-year-old on deployment overseas during the Iraq War nearly 20 years ago. Drunk 23-year-olds often get edgy tattoos. Like skull and crossbones. Which is what he got.

And then he just keeps it? While knowing?
Absolutely. Lots of people have things they are ashamed of or not proud about. So? Tattoos aren’t easy or cheap to get removed or covered up generally. Definitely not as cheap as just keeping your shirt on. If he was this Nazi that you are pretending him to be. This stupid stalling crossbones tattoo wouldn’t be your only evidence.
