No, I definitely know he's not Bernie.

Sanders has been ideologically consistent his whole life.

You might not see it now, but if this guy gets into the senate, you will.

Bro I did reserve judgement and I didn't jump to conclusions.

I was willing to support this guy a couple of weeks ago, despite his past.

Things have happened since then. The conclusions I've reached involved no jumping lol

I'm not saying condemn him lol.

Just don't elect him to the US Senate.

I would love for this dude to be another Bernie sanders or zohran Mamdani but he ain't that.

I'm not saying he's a plant either, that's ridiculous.

Anyways I usually only ask for evidence once or twice before I just go ahead and mute and unfortunately you've reached your 'dipshit claims without evidence quota' for the day. Bye bye now!

Steven Daniel McKenna @peidrumdad.bsky.social · 19h

So weird you'd make this claim without posting the evidence, right after I made a post accusing you of claiming things without evidence.

It's almost like you've been claiming things without evidence?

The FDD is a neoconservative think tank you're out of your mind if you think I care about anything they have to say.

Their literal job is propaganda lol

Graham Platner’s claims that he didn’t know tattoo was Nazi-linked undercut by new evidence | CNN Politics

A KFile investigation has uncovered mounting evidence that Platner — a Marine veteran— was aware of and defended the use of Nazi symbolism that had come to be embraced by some members of the military.

Yall need to stop running interference for this guy.

If this is a preview of the 2026 mid terms you can kiss any hope of dems winning the mid terms GOODBYE.

Get your fucking shit together, leftists.

I'm looking at @majorityreport.bsky.social here

CNN confirms that multiple sources suggest Graham Platner knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol years prior to launching his campaign — and is now blatantly lying about it.

Which is relevant because leftists still supporting him having have been arguing for 2 days that nobody knows what the totenkopf is and it's all just an innocent mistake being used to smear a great man

Steven Daniel McKenna @peidrumdad.bsky.social · 22h

Nobody is relitigating the tattoos existence lol.

Well I've seen a few but not anybody you're interacting with in this discussion.

We are discussing newly revealed evidence that he did in fact know what it was and argued it wasn't a big deal and has been lying about it the whole time

They always act like they are the first person to think of whatever smoothbrained argument they are currently making.

Bro is new to the statue discourse apparently

Yes you have been saying it, but Israel has to date provided ZERO evidence that this is the case which is why UNRWA is alive and well and WILL return to the Gaza Strip, whenever Israel cedes control to an intermediary as per trumps 20 point peace plan!

Gingit 🎗️ @virgosprincess.bsky.social · 3d

Like what have we been saying all this time?!

UNRWA is corrupt as corrupt can be.

Check out the secret bank accounts of everyone associated with UNRWA and the UN while we’re at it.

Also calling them 'settlers' implies there is nobody already living there, when it reality Israeli 'settlement' is just regular colonization with all the violence that implies

Steven Daniel McKenna @peidrumdad.bsky.social · 1d

I really dislike the term 'settler violence' in the West Bank,

It's just Israeli violence. Often, it's IDF violence.

The settlers couldn't do what they do without apartheid and full logistical support from the IDF.

Palestinians could easily end settler violence on their own, sans occupation.

It is actually a common and recognized symbol, not as much as the swastika but still.

I promise you couldn't take your shirt off in Germany with a tattoo like that and I'm guessing most holocaust survivors would instantly recognize it

1

Steven Daniel McKenna @peidrumdad.bsky.social · 1d

Ok but even the way you're trying to frame it as a 'skull and bones tattoo' instead of what it actually is tells me you're a little bit in denial here

Steven Daniel McKenna @peidrumdad.bsky.social · 1d

This guy comes with some very problematic skeletons and he won't just be fighting the Republican establishment. Dem leadership definitely does not want him he is clearly a very problematic candidate.

It's fine to admit you're desperate, just don't ignore reality

1

Steven Daniel McKenna @peidrumdad.bsky.social · 1d

It's not an op.

Buddy really did get a nazi tattoo and keep it for 18 years.

You kind of have to accept that basic truth.

Everything else you said is a great point. I get not being picky when the alternative is the fast track to fascism. Just don't kid yourself about the facts on the ground

These are the same folks who think universal healthcare is a socialist utopian fantasy despite being the only world power without it.

Nothing surprises me about their stupidity anymore

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

Maine is a little different. Very rural so a military guy will probably go over well.

Steven Daniel McKenna @peidrumdad.bsky.social · 1d

I think you will find there will be many challenges with an anti Israel candidate who sported a Nazi tattoo for 18 years.

It could end up hurting the Palestinian cause more than it helps.

Most anti semitism smears are fake but this guy is a gift to AIPAC at the very least

Steven Daniel McKenna @peidrumdad.bsky.social · 1d

But we are past the 'is it a Nazi tattoo phase'

It is, he admitted to it and got it covered up. We are past that.

At this point it's simply a matter of 'do you support a candidate that had a Nazi tattoo for 18 years.

Seems the answer is yes as he's still polling quite well

Steven Daniel McKenna @peidrumdad.bsky.social · 1d

I'm not trying to sabotage anything I personally think yall are sabotaging yourselves supporting this walking red flag.

That's a different discussion though.

As far as his screening, the military being fine with a Nazi tattoo is the least surprising revelation of all.
