  1. Most leftists had never liked Platner because he was a combat vet who signed on to Blackwater. Valid criticism, but not electorally smart.
  2. The year: 2026. Today, I was unable to take a dump because of a 12-hour AWS outage.
  3. And you missed him get 18 consecutive hole-in-ones. You just had to be there.
  4. It's a slow developing test that usually loses 3 yards. Sark loves it
  5. he's telling cattle ranchers that they're doing well?
  6. If that's true then you have nothing to worry about.
  7. We're not debating the symbol here. We're debating whether Platner is a secret Nazi. This is not a Secret Nazi vs. This is a Secret Nazi
  8. Flagg is supposed to be a generational talent, unlike Sochan, so fuck it bring it.
  9. that's a very, very low bar
  10. https://www.npr.org/2016/09/04/492599414/for-new-hampshire-s-white-mountain-trail-crew-comfort-comes-second-to-ragged-fun once again, Liberals are afraid of their own fucking shadows
  11. I think voters want a platform that they can actually understand and feel will help them directly and materially. They will overlook a lot of indiscretions in search of a candidate they feel cares about them.
  12. negged for threadshitting. fuck off
  13. I've seen some truly braindead takes on Bluesky. One of them was like "GUYS IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR SOMEONE TO MOVE TO MAINE AND RUN" Yes, nothing Mainers love more than a carpetbagger who waited until scandal hit one of its homegrown candidates to uproot their own lives and try to unseat an incumbent. Apply the Conclave principle here. Politicians who want to be politicians are the worst people for the job. It's one thing to be from the community that has been misrepresented by Susan Collins, seeing nobody else doing anything about it, and feeling called to fix it. A carpetbagger cannot claim to have organic, sincere intentions.
  14. The Nazis saw Indiana and were like, "no thanks we're good"
  15. ✨When you're a star, they let you do it.✨
  16. So you actually think he's a secret Nazi?
  17. I think he's omitting some unflattering stuff about his time being drunk in Croatia. Does it make him a Nazi? Not really. But the way he tells the story, like it was a groupthink bonding thing, sort of makes it sound like someone else made the decision for him. He's either lying about that (it was his choice) which is bad or he's downplaying the kind of shitheads he would hang out with while in the Marines, which is also bad. Seth Harp wrote a book about how some of these unsavory characters can operate within the military. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/fort-bragg-cartel-murders-1235394302/ Now I won't go so far as to say he joined a gang-like organization while in the Marines, but it can't really be ruled out. And yes, it can't be ruled out that the organization was Nazi-adjacent or Nazi-sympathetic (like a prison gang would be). I can see how he would be ashamed of it, but like he said, if he believed it the tattoo itself stood for something that needed to be concealed, wouldn't he also have tried harder to cover it up? So, I don't really know what to make of it. More information could come out, and I will drop my support if it turns out he was lying or if it turns out he supports or condones white supremacy in any way.
  18. Liberals are afraid of their own shadows, I swear to god. This whole oppo dump rhymes an awful lot with the "Mamdani is a jihadi rapper" saga. Totally playing to people's prejudices. The brown Muslim must be a secret terrorist, and the white guy from rural America must be a secret Nazi, ergo we just gotta elect the centrist! Let the people of Maine decide.
  19. He has to do that. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/21/graham-platner-tattoo-nazi-00617686
  20. I think you're way too focused on aesthetics in this case. What has he said or done that a Nazi would support?
  21. If he stays in the race and he's the best candidate, I would. If it turns out he truly is a Nazi, or has lied about having been a Nazi in the past, I would not.
  22. Either he's a Nazi or he isn't. The only evidence we've seen that he's a Secret Nazi is pretty weak. Would he really buy into all that white supremacy bullshit without a crew of like-minded boneheads to whom he'd have by now been linked? That strikes me as pretty fucking odd. What does it mean to be a history buff anyways? Is it like people who do their own research about vaccines? What it comes down to for me is that if he ever was a Nazi he shouldn't be lying about that. The lies would be disqualifying. But let's be sober about this. We have plenty of dudes out there who got Nazi tattoos with varying degrees of awareness what they were doing at the time, and we want those guys to have a viable path towards renouncing those ideas and symbols and reintegrating with society. If the far right remains their only viable option, that leads to much worse scenarios. You end up on the JD Vance pipeline. Sitting here today in October 2025, there's far more evidence that Platner is an anti-fascist than there is evidence he's a Secret Nazi.
  23. Most people have no idea what the hell the design meant. It was not taught in my school, and I can totally buy that it wasn't taught at his school wherever the hell he went to high school. If he's not a Secret Nazi, he should stay in the race.
