![Liberals when a mercenary with Nazi tattoos turns out to be a bad guy [surprised Pikachu]](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3bd8772c-e65b-45d6-8d05-b5f2b9c465cd.jpeg)
As someone who did defend Platner, I will not shy away from the fact I was wrong. Whether or not he has changed since he was a mercenary really is irrelevant at this point. Rapists, whether reformed or not (and I do not believe be is reformed given his statement), should not hold positions of power. Platner needs to drop out and take accountability.
This one came into my bloc🛜
It was always a little sus this guy was so prominent on these forums. If you put hope in him you are crushed I think that is by design.
Does this imply there are good guy mercenaries?
Wife sent me this one:
They really believe their own lies.
Abolish entryism
What a shitshow. This thread, I mean.
Yes, the guy was a proven nazi.
Yes, the woman has made many bad life choices.
Yes, the progressist white knights are a bunch of hypocrites putting the woman's life above the poor innocent brown people the guy had killed.
Yes, in numbers genocide is worse than one life's traumatic experience.
But, no, man. It's fucking disingenuous putting both in the balance against each other.
That r*** triggers a lot more than one person because it is a symbol of patriarchal oppression.
Antagonizing the (liberal) feminists in this matter alienates people we should be trying to gain for our cause.
The majority made minority of brown people needs helping hands instead of generic admonitioning.
Engels would've been disappointed, OP.
Nah libs and republicans are dancing on the grave of his campaign
People can, and should be allowed to change for the better. People often change their minds on things once they get more information and/or have time to sit with it. We should expect our politicians to do the same, and giving regular people that’ve made honest mistakes but are committed to changing for the better an honest shot is admirable.
It just so happens that in this particular case, way too many chances were given and no honest attempt to change was made.
Well let's get more of the usual types then, let's not try to step outside the mold and adapt. Let's only ever run milquetoast neoliberals who want to tow the party line, that'll show them damn libs.
It's been disappointing seeing all the so-called left of the US form the same sort of American supremacist cult of peesonality around Platner as did MAGA around Trump.
Maine dint stand a chance with anyone left of Mills, its either her or collins. Maine needs to choose and verify thier candidates better.
