He's not wrong.

These greedy fuckers won't even loose anything if they payed their workers a healthy wage, but they just want to hoard their wealth for whatever reason. Don't the realize society is more productive when people can afford to live?
Imagine 1 trillion…
Well how am I supposed to build my $500 million yacht so I can dicksize with the other big dogs? /s
The whole tattoo scandal might have ended up being a plus, it came to light too late to replace him so now he has to lean in hard or his chances are entirely gone.
That's what they say until they actually get to 1B, after which the tone changes completely. Same with power. And influence.
Seriously, tho. Eliminate Brian Niccols, and Starbucks customers wouldn't, and might not ever, notice. Eliminate 6,666 bariastas, and there'd be riots! (Okay, not really, but it'd really put the hurt on corporate profits immediately, like, literally the same day.)
His platform should make most people here happy: https://www.grahamforsenate.com/platform
isn't he the ex-blackwater mercenary who got a nazi tattoo? is that really the best candidate we can get to represent the working class...?
It is him yeah... I guess the silver lining is that even this kind of people are slowly starting to get it.
He got a stupid tattoo as a young Marine and all we got is a very blurry pic. News flash: Young Marines do stupid shit.
In 2018, Platner returned to Kabul, Afghanistan, for about six months as a State Department security contractor with Constellis, the private military company formerly known as Blackwater, where he provided diplomatic security to the US ambassador to Afghanistan.[17][10][18][19] He returned to Maine the same year, saying he had quickly grown more disillusioned with the military and what he called fraudulent funneling of taxpayer money to private defense companies.
This is why we'll never fucking win. No one will ever be pure enough for the left. He should have been planning his political career in his teens!
If we cannot draw the line at Nazis I'm not sure we're worth saving. There is zero chance he wasn't aware of the origins of that tattoo. He's defended marines with SS tattoos in the past as simply the "culture". Its not about if he is or isn't a Nazi, its about the obvious indifference to Nazi's and their symbols. His populist rhetoric is masking his ties to the military industrial complex and his history of American chauvinism.
You don't have to look hard to find better working class veteran representatives, Michael Prysner is right here.
Half your country is "nazi" right now, so what's your solution, thanos snap them out of existence? There is no other path than forgiveness and reeducation.
That's absolutely true, but it doesn't mean we should have the forgiven misguided fools - if indeed that's what he is - run for office. How about someone who wasn't a mercenary and who knew what a nazi skull was not to tattoo it. It's not a huge ask right? That's as low as a bar can get.
You running for office? No? Weird.
Maybe we can find you a nice tattoo removal parlour soldier boy. New tech does miracles these days don't despair.
He got it covered up btw.
Unfortunately, I don't think he is running for office.
You mean the guy who in 2020 said he joined for "Adventure and [to] kill people"? Who was glad he got both?
I'm not American but I wouldn't want an unrepentant killer as an elected official. Unapologetic for what he did to other people in the middle east, just the money wasted on killing them and destroying their lives.
Finally. There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. Those two things are mutually exclusive.
Fuck this Nazi piece of shit. He went back to Iraq 3 different times, the last serving as a merc for blackwater. He is not remorseful in the slightest just a few years ago he was talking about how sick it was working for blackwater. He had a totenkompf tattoo all the way up until running his campaign. Oh and he still has a blackwater fridge magnet. It was in the background of a photo of him with his arm around a zionist funded by aipac. If he wins, he will fuck Mainers over so fucking hard, mark my words.
Post from 2020:
Everything about military is true but he very obviously didn't know the tattoo was a Nazi tattoo hence all the very very left wing posts from his private years old reddit account.
Unless you think he planned years in advance for this? The Jarhead?
Mainers are going to get fucked so hard by your decision if you are and you vote for him. Get ready for fetterman 2: electric boogaloo. Except this man has actually tortured/killed people for black water, so he'll be even more ruthless. You won't be able to blame a stroke either, it will all have been your complete willingness to capitulate to nazi terrorist scum.
EDIT 07/07/26: FUCKING IDIOTS TOOK THE BAIT AGAIN! Y'ALL ONLY CARE IF IT'S AMERICAN VICTIMS, YOUR TRUE COLORS EXPOSED. ALL OF YOU PLATNER SUPPORTERS WALKING WITH YOUR TAILS IN BETWEEN YOUR LEGS. YOU ALL DISGUST ME THAT THIS IS WHAT IT TOOK.
Skinny Fetterman talks a good game during campaign season.
Dude's personal Reddit account got leaked. He is not putting up a front.
People need any excuse they can find to feel more left than other leftists no matter how much potential damage it may do
Imagine 1 trillion…
I don't care what this Nazi thinks.
As long as he doesn't admit that his military service was unethical and wrong, and retract&apologize for his earlier racist comments justifying thousands of iraqi deaths with "our way of life is better than theirs" or something like that, I will just assume he's a nazi trying to pander to the working class.
He's not wrong but I refuse to vote for anyone nazi aligned.
I appreciate your insight on this. Looking at everything done and said about the tattoo and his old Reddit posts, I am definitely more comfortable voting for this guy still than his opposition who we know is a child rapist capitulator, without question. Bernie literally still supports this guy
Lesser-evil politics in action. "I will vote for this literal nazi, who says nazi shit and has a nazi tatoo, because the alternative is worse somehow". I'm sure there were people further right than Hitler in 1930s germany, and germans just voted strategically to keep them out.
He isn't wrong. Bring back the 90% tax rate.
Disclaimer: I don't like Platner.
I'd go further: Nobody works hard enough to justify $1 million. Redistribute all the wealth above that and you'd likely eradicate poverty.
