    In just 9 months, Biden/Harris supporters went from “genocide is no big deal” to “you can’t vote for a guy who jokes about killing people in a war”. Respectfully, if you voted for the genociders you have no moral credibility here.

    Even if what you allege against Platner is true, his hands are infinitely less bloody than those of Biden/Harris.

    I couldn’t care less about Platner’s shitposting (and shitposting is what it is) because he’s one of a handful of Democrats who honestly think people should be able to live off 40 hours of work in a week, which is something that can’t be said for the vast majority of Democrats, judging by their voting record and their decision to stand aside in favor of corporate grift in Washington.

      Liberal astroturfers are definitely just pretending they oppose those things to take advantage & shut down Platner, but they are still very real concerns. The guy was a fucking Blackwater mercenary.

      I don’t give a fuck if it helps the liberals. This guy has a laundry list of very solid disqualifiers. If he’s truly reformed, he can help and be a part of the revolution. But his judgment is clearly very fucking questionable, and he should not be placed in a position of power.

        Glad to hear you voted the right way.

        And yes, he is a progressive. His view is that your family should actually be able to live well in the US, which isn’t the majority opinion of Democrats or Republicans. That’s why the federal minimum wage has been frozen at $7 an hour across two Democrats and a Republican.

        He’s already spoken publicly on all of this, and I couldn’t care less about the shitposting. The octogenarians he’s running against are significantly worse and perfectly fine with starvation and genocide.

      out of curiosity , what are your opinion on BE’s other critiques of Platner , those being that he’s a “plant” , and that his policies will benefit Americans at the cost of the rest of the world (? not sure if im representing BE’s opinion correctly here)

      also , just in case : BE is very much opposed to Biden/Harris
