    Idk enough about these candidates to have a real opinion. But, as an American, I just want people voted in who make Trumps final 2 years in office absolute hell on earth for him and his idiot pals

      Platnir may possibly be a nazi, as he had gotten a famous nazi tattoo while in the military and a disturbing reddit account, which details i cannot remember. Platnir has SAID hes a changed man, and at this point we can only hope thats true

      Mills is an old guard useless democrat.

        What was disturbing on his reddit account, specifically?

        Regarding his tattoo, I regretfully wouldn’t have known either had someone pointed it out. They act like it’s a swastika but I guarantee most people if they saw his tattoo wouldn’t know what it was. I can see a silly Marine in his twenties doing something dumb like that and just picking it out of a book because it “looked cool,” so I just need more than that personally. As soon as it was brought to public attention, he had it covered it up so seems reasonable. In my younger years I thought all the German stuff was cool. I played WWII games, listened to Rammstein, and never really connected the dots until later. I kind of get the same impression from Platner – also why are you misspelling his name when it’s in the headline? I see this done a lot by right-wing operatives. Hope it’s just an innocent mistake.

        I mean could he be another Fetterman? I guess anything is possible, but what other choice do we have?

          Lsten to his interview with Jon Stewart. I had no idea who he was, but after that interview I want many more like him running across the nation. It was cute listening to Jon and him fangirling at each other by the end of the interview.

            I did! Pretty good interview, as well as the one he did with John Favreau. I’m cautiously optimistic, but I have flashbacks to Fetterman that I’m still traumatized by lol

              Unlike Fetterman, Platner comes from and is a working class fella and not a trust fund baby cosplaying as one. Cautious optimism is warranted, though. So many snake oil salesmen these days.

          No one recognizes that tattoo as being a nazi tattoo. There are pictures of him, dancing, shirt off, tattoo exposed, at a relatives Jewish wedding. Classic Nazi behavior /s.

          As far as fetterman goes, that was such a unique situation. There were much more obvious red flags with fetterman plus he had a stroke. People are so aware these days, I dont see it happening again.

          Unless israel hits planter with the stroke ray he is obviously the best choice for maine.

          Reddit thing-I honestly cannot say as I never found it and havent cared to look. What people posted about it I didnt care to memorize. Im only holding out for a chance that hes changed, i dont want to read into his past.

          Name thing- i also havent cared to memorize platner. I think “palantir” is digging into my mind. I dont know the names of people ive worked with for years so…ehh.

          Again, Im also hoping hes not who he was years ago. Its all we got.

            Maybe we shouldn’t spread rumors then if it’s a struggle to memorize a name in the headline or even know what the content was that was allegedly so disturbing…?

        If the biggest evidence for platner being a Nazi is a tattoo he got like 20 years ago in the military and something you cant remember then you should probably reconsider your point. Are you even following the campaign?
