Okay, can we at least agree that having TWO Nazi tattoos is disqualifying?

People don't understand how HARD it is to be a mediocre white guy growing up in America.

Everywhere you go, there's just Nazi tattoos trying to get you. One time, I slipped on some ice and landed on a tattoo artist hidden in the bushes at the end of my driveway with an SS tattoo ready to go.
Ngl, seeing “you’re holding the nazi tatted racist white man to impossible standards” as a Black woman, aka the demographic ACTUALLY held to impossible standards, pisses me off deeply. The bar is so low for them and they still can’t clear it, but we’re “ideological purists” for pointing that out.

Sure glad our country decided to elect a bunch of vaccine denial freaks to the white house just as we start learning shit like this. 🤦

I feel like a part of white supremacy and patriarchy that doesn’t get talked about enough is how there’s just no standards AT ALL for these guys. just zero cultural expectation whatsoever to not be trash. I don’t think any other race or ethnicity has this. It’s strictly a white people thing.

Don't think all the people defending Platner would be defending Hegseth for having that same tattoo

Somehow the “saying you’re sorry” part has dropped clean out of the list of things that are supposed to happen on the way to people granting you forgiveness

it's weird when both left and right can't seem to agree that nazis are bad and nazi symbolism is bad and hanging out with nazis is bad and revenue sharing with nazis is bad and

Remembering nearly a decade ago when folks were admonishing people about how punching nazis made you "just as bad as them" while platforming nazis in suits and shitty SS haircuts through profile features and calling all of it the "alt-right," WE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK YOU WERE DOING
lot of nazi news out of the states recently. hitler praise in dms, swastika signs, tattoos, nazi salutes. more nazi stuff than is normal for sure

I grew up food insecure. It’s a hell that no one, especially a child, should have to endure. This is unconscionable especially since they can somehow find enough money for the gestapo & a fucking ballroom remodel…
I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
Me, a Senate candidate forced to address my tattoos:

"While I acknowledge that I never received special forces training as an Alliance marine, nor was I duly appointed as an agent for the Galactic Council, I maintain that my attitude of cooperation and goodwill for all justifies my Paragon tattoo."

Again: if you are minimizing any of what Platner is getting scrutinized for, that is a you problem. His posts about rape were not merely "of their time" or "regular guy" stuff - they were posts from a specific kind of guy, in an era where a lot of guys were moving away from that stuff.

Stop bringing up AEW discourse drama that is clearly tailored to piss you off. Those other people clearly got nothing good going for them so they love to drag the hot bitch when they’re down. They have nothing to buzz about in their own show. We got Okada vs Bandido tonight! Come on, man.

Normal guys go through a Battle of Hastings phase, not a Nazi phase
Every dad has a favorite battle and never stops talking about it
I have a running theory that all dads can have their personality types inferred by their answer to “what is your favorite war?” It’s like astrology, but for dads

If being against a guy with a Nazi tattoo makes me a purist I guess I'm an anti-Nazi purist. If you think that makes me an anti-Nazi single issue voter, you're wrong, but also it's a pretty good single issue.

There is more than a year. Go get another real progressive who doesn't have a Nazi tattoo.

Hundreds of people protesting ICE in downtown manhattan right now. Reads and Broadway. NYPD cops in riot gear on scene.

you can’t be a progressive or a leftist and treat intersectionality as an inconvenient distraction. If you can’t say “Nazi tattoos and saying women are responsible for their own sexual assaults are barriers to entry for a progressive” then you’re just cosplaying as a character on the struggle bus
I'd like to haunt him upside the head right now

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.”

Bernie Sanders has always been trash. That’s it. That’s the skeet.
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"
