Fuck this. If “Nazi tattoo” doesn’t cross the line, you have no line.

Okay but the guy who got a Nazi tattoo surely only has the one bad thing waiting to come out about him, and we’ve already had it so that means he’s perfect, smooooth sailing from now on

Graham Platner to @daveweigel.bsky.social:
"How do you expect to win back men when you go back through somebody’s Reddit history and just pull it all out and say: ‘Oh, my God, this person has no right to ever be in politics?’"

DSCC Chair Gillibrand: “It’s up to the voters of Maine to decide.”

I spent years around Philly politics, I'm not naive.

We certainly have plenty of self-dealing political actors.

But if you're going to use your union treasury to finance your sportscar, you damn better be giving your members free turkeys every Thanksgiving, and an open bar at the holiday party

Bernie about Platner,

“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"

When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."

Bernie: "Ok"

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works

One of the things that shows Platner shouldn't run anymore is he has that tattoo and went right for the Senate. It's not like he got involved in local government and put in the work at the town or county level. If he had you could *maybe* make the case he had truly reformed, but he didnt do that
