Platner wrote a ton about his political beliefs on Reddit. He didn’t think it’d be read. He was a woke BLM guy who talked about the struggles of LGBT marines & got into arguments with Holocaust revisionists. There is no Nazi on earth who would talk like this. It’s dispositive.
Some advice for candidates.
If you’re going to take a position against Israel or billionaires, make sure there are no skeletons in your closet and also that no one can make up things about you and also don’t take a position against Israel or billionaires.
Graham Platner consensually sexted some women years ago and his wife and him worked it out privately in marriage counseling. Such a nothing burger and ridiculous scandal.
This election is going to be a referendum on Trump’s corruption, affordability, and Collins’ actions as a Trump enabler.
Collins is for sending billions of dollars from taxpayers money to a genocidal apartheid state and Platner is a hell no on that !
“You hate billionaires, but you want to be rich.”
No. I want enough money to live a modest, stable life and be generous with people around me. Not wealth built on exploitation, hoarding, or treating the planet like it is disposable.
The Democratic establishment is not afraid of Abdul losing, they are afraid of him winning.
He consistently has higher favorables among his own party than both of his primary opponents and recently eclipsed them in both primary and GE polling as well as grassroots fundraising.
A lot of Gen Z complains endlessly about disliking general election candidates and “voting for lesser of 2 evils” but then never shows up for primary elections to vote for candidates they like. If you don’t vote in primaries you can’t complain about general election candidates
Those who hate Platner admit they never bother to actually listen to his campaign speeches and are incurious as to why he's packing crowds. He talks about healthcare all the time—M4A, rural hospitals closing, Gaza and foreign wars, taxing billionaires, breaking up monopolies, etc
Driving three hours out of his way to teach a transwoman firearm safety for free after she was harassed is a green flag. Forming a group of citizens to fight transphobic takeovers of local school boards is a green flag.
The attempt to bully anyone who likes Graham Platner is kind of hilarious. We don't care. These aren't scandals.
Invading Iraq was a scandal.
Foreclosing on tens of millions of people was a scandal.
Attacking Iran was a scandal.
Have fun clutching pearls!
So lemmie get this straight:
Graham Platner wrote sexual texts to consenting women, *3 years* before he was a candidate, realized he fucked up, was honest about it, apologized to his wife, and then went to marriage counseling?
This is why y’all are big mad?
Millennials & Gen-Z: not being able to afford a home until your 40s is a huge problem for us.
Boomers: you entitled spoilt brats expect everything handed to you on a silver platter.
Also Boomers: why is nobody having kids anymore? What about my grandchildren?
With the selection of Williams for the cover of Madden 27, Brett Favre remains the only NFL athlete to be on the cover of Madden to both send unsolicited dick pictures to a media personality and defraud a states welfare program for over 5 million dollars.
a key element of fascism is making it appear that the entire world is organized against your group when in fact you are in the most advantageous and powerful position in society. The Oklahoma City Thunder are a textbook example of this phenomenon.
Graham Platner represents a glimmer of hope for every young poster with ambition worried that their edgy jokes posted when they were 15 will decide their entire political career
At this point I’m convinced that Platner was offered a deal he wouldn’t take and that’s why the uniparty is so obsessed with him.
They simply cannot allow an actual dissident into the Senate. Not as long as the filibuster still exists.
