    Okay, he’s a democrat that acts like a republican.

    Pele, are we talking about the same person? Platner is a populist progressive.

          Which is why I’ve been saying that I would hold my nose and vote for him if I were in Maine. Because I understand that “this guy might not be Nazi” is still better than literally any Republican.

          Yeah that’s not anything at all like what I said.

          In a vacuum, sure, it would be a weird thing to be paranoid about.

          But we’re not in a vacuum, are we? There are several massive red flags about this guy, including gleeful murder of brown people and a fucking Nazi tattoo on his chest.

          So forgive me if I’m a little skeptical when he says left-adjacent things.

        Fetterman wore the costume of a populist. Platner walks the walk of of a populist.

        Fetterman won because he wasn’t doctor Oz.

          Platner walks the walk of of a populist.

          What does this even mean, he’s never held public office.

          If you really want to go by the man’s actions, there is plenty of info out there about the awful shit that he got up to in Iraq.

          Fetterman won because he wasn’t doctor Oz.

          Not true. People were absolutely excited about Fettermam winning the nomination.

          Fetterman also has brain damage. People keep ignoring this when framing anyone who hasn’t planned to be in Congress since they were 8 as a sleeper centrist.
