So he doesn't have a Nazi tattoo on his chest?

The way you're circling the wagons, I'm starting to the think the "retired army interrogator/military intelligence" might have a few tattoos of his own.

Seems like he was quite familiar with Nazi tattoos. But sure, let's go with your position, which is that the big man was apparently too stupid to research the skull tattoo before he decided to run for office.

Graham Platner has deleted reddit posts defending people for getting SS (bolts) nazi tattoos.

He was also a Blackwater mercenary as recently as 2018.

there is no reason someone running for public office should have a nazi logo tattooed on their body, regardless of their past.

You know I actually do know quite a bit about the Nazis considering they wiped out a quarter of my family tree. You, apparently, couldn't recognize one if it stared you straight in the face.

I'm a Zionist for opposing a dude with a totenkopf tattoo, is that really the argument you're going with?

I don't think he would be as much as a target if he didn't have a Nazi tattoo on his chest.

It does not resemble the the Nazi icon. It *is* the Nazi icon.

Doug King in San Jose @dekgreen.bsky.social · 10h

I haven’t seen any reporting that he was into Nazi stuff. It seems he got skull tattoo that resembles a Nazi icon. Looking at the ADL image for the Totenkopf (attached), I consider it unrecognizable.

But I’m not actually sure what his tattoo looks like.

Are you not embarrassed by yourself? This is a hilariously pathetic way of perceiving effective political engagement.

Building effective party infrastructure pales in comparison to my strategy, writing essays on Substack.

You want to signal an alternative, but you don't actually want to make it viable. You admitted you don't bother supporting them on a local level. You want to start somewhere and then go nowhere.

I'm sure the millions that are suffering from USAID being killed are grateful that you voted to "send a message."

I think the maximum impact your vote is, on election day, voting for the candidate which the greatest chance of defeating the Republicans.

You advocated voting for the Green Party to discredit the "Bourgeois parties." Why, if not to bring about their demise?

bearchowski.bsky.social @bearchowski.bsky.social · 1d

You believe the collapse of the Democratic Party is inevitable, and that the gradual collapse should be sped up? And that your ideology will emerge victorious from the ashes?

I thought you weren't advocating accelerationism?

Nico @nico-encounter.bsky.social · 1d

As far as I'm concerned, yes this is the message of everyone concern trolling by reading my post as some sort of accelerationism, which I've explicitly said several times is not what I'm saying.

I noticed you've avoided answering the question for the third time. Now you pivot to the DSA. But I asked you about the Green Party.

bearchowski.bsky.social @bearchowski.bsky.social · 1d

You're evading again. Again I'll ask you, what material steps are they taking to actualize their agenda?

Wow, they have a party platform. What material steps are they taking to actualize their agenda?

Actually, the presidential election is an opportunity to elect an individual to the most powerful position on the planet, whose actions and policies have a serious impact on the lives of millions.

Is the Green Party building a viable alternative? Because it seems like its become little more than a vanity project for Jill Stein.

Are your principles more important than peoples' lives?

If the Green Party wanted to win, why do they only pop up during Presidential elections? Why do they put so little effort into winning local or state-wide election?

Seems like that's what majority of Democrats did in 2010 when they passed the ACA despite its impact on their electoral chances.
