What do you mean? Grok was factually wrong about the USSR. Unless you mean wasting his time with Grok is the losing itself, which, that's fair.

This is factually wrong. Maybe Grim doesn't respond to every single punter, but he has laid out his defense. It's very easy to find too.

"People should try to better themselves..." is closer to Grim's perspective that Platner can redeem himself. The typical argument I see on Bluesky is not that, it's that Platner is an actual and irredeemable Nazi and needs to drop out from the race, (leading to a likely centrist/conservative win).

screenshots? I can't find these posts.

It's also the case that everyone besides Mills and Platner poll at 1% or lower. The media usually doesn't cover people who can't crack 1%.

I don't think they'll melt down, they'll quietly seeth and bide their time to undermine him, wait for a moment to pronounce "I like him but he's gone too far!" Or sabotage his agenda. Like the centrist labor did to Corbyn.

It makes sense to have different strategies between a primary and a general, but a "red line" indicates a moral stance and you wouldn't change your moral compass between a primary and a general. Or if someone did, I'd criticize that too.

Sure, that's true, but I think he's persuasive considering how strong and unqualified his apologies have been. And I'd rather take the risk with him than both Collins and Mills who, for example, definitely and repeatedly oppose an arms embargo on Israel.

Read his Reddit posts. He was railing against Islamophobia in the US military and civilian killings by the US military in 2018, going to women's marches in 2019, and decrying fascism and racism at the same time. Get off bluesky and read the full picture.

The same people I see say a Totemkopf tattoo must be a red line did not say enabling and supporting Israel's genocide is a red line and called to vote for Harris. So I don't buy it.

Or "liberal" Zionist supporter of Israel who doesn't want an arms embargo on Israel.
October 28, 2025 at 8:27 PM
"I actually love the Afghan people, they have been the best part of my deployments there" Platner posted anonymously in those leaked 2018 Reddit posts. He railed against "full on Islamophobic propaganda. Fuck off with that shit."

That doesn't sound like a Nazi to me.

Crypto-nazis don't generally oppose Trump's ICE raids nor do they generally support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants like Platner does.

All the revelations since prove Cooper wrong: Biden allowed Israel to blow up multiple negotiations. Maybe the real reason Cooper opposes Platner is that he supports an arms embargo on Israel?

This is crazy because after following him for years and having a private conversation about Platner and his opposition to him, I came away with a strong feeling he is a "liberal" Zionist or some such thing, so started searching posts and found this.
