    Idk man, joining the military because you want an adventure and to kill some people + having had a swastika on his chest (that he’s covered up, of course)… doesn’t paint a great picture.

        Not my point, blue no matter isn’t a winning strategy. We need people who aren’t just playing politics.

          The other side votes red no matter what though… so you want to fight with one hand tied behind your back? You wanna poke out your left eye cause it’s not Marxist and hope the other side takes it easy on you? Fucking child

            … No I want to more intelligently choose our representatives.

            Don’t call others children after drawing blanket assumptions, you just look fucking dumb.

      You’re 95% of the way there!

      Yes, Platner went on 5 combat tours, some as a PMC, and has pontificated on how much he loved it.

      The tattoo was a Nazi tattoo, but not a swastika. It was a skull.

      I’ll add: Americans focus almost completely on domestic policy and ignore the international component. People like Planter are more of the same when their international policy is considered: a strong military that perpetuates US imperialism, a system that robs Americans of their funds and funnels it into bombs, war crimes, and genocide, all the while fostering resentment for the US internationally. We need our leaders to act as stalwart guardians of peace, not agitators and oil barons and gun-toting killer ideological missionaries.

      It’s time to consider candidates that are not DNC dogs. Mamdani, Platner, AOC are all beholden to the imperialist, hyper-capitalist DNC; nothing in the US will meaningfully change when EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE is still taking bribes from corporations as the DNC does and will always do.

      You should look into the way the DNC slandered and sabotaged Maureen Gallindo’s race for the Texas House. It’s eye-opening.

      NOTHING WILL MEANINGFULLY CHANGE UNDER THE DNC AND RNC. THEY ARE PARTNERS IN CRIME WHO SERVE THE EPSTEIN CLASS AND CORPORATIONS ALONE AND USE IDPOL TO KEEP US DIVIDED. DO NOT LET THEM FOOL YOU INTO THINKING THAT IS NOT THE CASE. MEANINGFUL CHANGE MUST COME FROM OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM.

        Okay but who does my sister’s in-laws in Maine vote for in the general election? They’re republicans mind you. Speak to them and about their tree farm now. You have a lot of words, use em. I’m sure you can whip them into shape to skip voting republican and skip voting for this guy and get them to vote for the real change. I’m rooting for you, you can do it! Looking forward to your response. You are the true leftist, after all. Your opinion is the correct one amongst us fools. Please forgive us for not seeing your enlightened ways.
