@JJ_McCullough Short answer: Yes. Platner has very few redeeming qualities. Nowadays if you yell a few buzzwords like Epstein, billionaire, fuck ICE, and AIPAC you can fool a decent portion of the electorate. Sad.
This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.
Platner is a Herschel-Walker-tier candidate, but libs who are such aristocrats of knowingness and good judgement refuse to concede that they made a mistake.
Very funny to watch them double down on Platner and blame others for his travails.
I feel like this whole Platner situation could’ve been avoided if a bunch of upper middle class leftists hadn’t seen the most obvious red flags imaginable and thought, “that’s just what rough, salty, Ohio Waffle House type working class people are like”
Yeah, a fun bit of history a lot of the dawn early computing was centered around stuff like do censuses and vote counts better. People have literally been thinking about this stuff for over a century and it seems like Europe with all their crazy parties don't have these issues. So yeah, it's just a lack of political will to do anything at all about it.
From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.
@HistoryBoomer Such a smoothgroin take. Real manly men cross state lines to vote, they don't listen to the business-loving DC elitist class when they say things like "that's a federal crime"
@tracewoodgrains It's easy to forget that while there were crybullies that slung mud and then acted all surprised when people got mad, there were so many cancelations like this you didn't hear about where the eye of sauron just fell on that person one day, apropos of nothing. Awful.
Gotta say though, if this was the "big oppo everyone knew about" hard to see it changes much. He's alresdy been demonstrated to be loon with predatory behavior. Difficult to see people blow past kik and totenkoph but tripping over this
