To the people out there who say that "Platner clearly can't be a Nazi because his reddit posts clearly show him as a communist!" There are people out there who hold communist and Nazi ideals together with authoritarianism being the unifier. Those are called red-browns.

We're not gonna dig ourselves out of this hole by voting for another straight white male with abhorrent politics. We need to be much more discriminating in who we choose to promote and who we choose to oppose. Progressives are just as unacceptable to fascism as anyone else and need to wake up.
Nobody-progressives including-is immune to the propaganda of white privilege. CA Gov. Gavin Newsome is the lead candidate to oppose Trump for the same reason Platner is still getting support despite both being terrible and that's because Americans *desperately* want a white male champion.

A group of US women kicked out a Nazi, while a group of US men stood around doing nothing.

People around the world are noticing that it is women who are leading the fight against fascists in the US. Whether it is Nazis or ICE.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Alright we're finding a groove now.
Toronto is setting a tone
Mamdani is well dressed, has to be very careful in his approach, and his record is damn near spotless. Platner is a fucking Blackwater merc with an SS tat and everyone from Sanders to Vigeland to fucking Jacobin is tripping over themselves to defend and equivocate. Fucking disgusting.
Mamdani: "I thought that if I could build a campaign of universality ... if I behaved well enough or bit my tongue enough ... it would allow me to be more than just my faith. I was wrong."
Again, Graham Platner is a canny interloper. Dude not only knew what the SS skull tattoo was but he also knew while running for the Dem ticket that he'd have swaths of people equivocating because that's what white privilege is. Mamdani has to be so collected in his approach by comparison.
Establishment Democrats spent a full year complaining the Left forced them to be “woke.”

But then a left populist, Graham Platner, threatened to win in Maine, so they went right back to trying to cancel someone over old internet posts.

I blame TV Tropes for making fiction and stories puzzles to solve instead of experiences to enjoy. Cinema Sins and other youtubers would follow. Also the site began as a Joss Whedon fansite which fucking explains everything.
If I'm Chuck Rocha I'm running for any office on a Chinga Bernie ticket because goddamn if he isn't spiting the voting base that carried him in 2020.
When I played Blasphemous I clocked the pointed helmet wearing Pennant One as part of some deep Spanish Catholic lore and I was right. I'm guessing the Klan appropriated the pointed hoods as anti-Catholic sentiment.
