I would rather someone write a little killing fantasy disconnected from reality than kill someone, yes

I looked it up she was writing bills with wall st help while she was in the House. Already was a sell out but needed the seat.

all the same to me after about Poland and Italy

I’ll take your word for it I guess, I don’t really have any way to know how likely it was a guy in his position would have known beforehand and definitely don’t know how likely it is some tattoo artist would explain to some American soldiers what it was. But that does make sense why it was there

He says he’ll vote for Medicare for All. That’s good enough for some I’m sure.

I think he was 23 at the time. You probably shouldn’t be held to account for your actions before you were eligible to hold the office you want to hold, provided any required accountability happened at the time.

If you didn’t know about it you would just see a skull and crossbones, which it is. It’s like if you knew what a rectangle was but not a square. yeah that is a very specific rectangle but looks like a rectangle to me. And it is!

I don’t think he’s a Nazi. To be honest I read comments like yours, with a quote that doesn’t exist, with its assuredness in…something, and I just want to hear specifics instead. Platner win and is a seated US Senator. A bill comes up, he votes. He talks like he talks now. What else could you expect

Oh I see what you mean. So yeah in a world where he’s really secretly going to join the GOP Nazi movement he could do a lot of damage 😳

I meant if he wins he’s just one vote so he can’t do bad on his own. If polls start showing he isn’t going to win then people will look for an alternative if they can. But the whole premise of the people who recruited Platner is that he is the best chance to win a seat they always lose.

No I’ve seen a lot of the movies but I don’t remember them making it a big deal. I‘m just following the action not looking at every detail. Show me the swastika got it hope the good guys win (not the Nazis)

see I saw the sketch but knew that skull was death before that so didnt associate skull with Nazi

He got the tattoo in Eastern Europe I think

😬 how did dad know???

Dexter Merschbrock @dexterm.bsky.social · 6h

I don’t think so. Once you accidentally get a Nazi tattoo theres no good explanation. Best wait to get popular then tell some half truths.

Dexter Merschbrock @dexterm.bsky.social · 6h

They lie about the anti-semitism stuff lol And unless you think Platner is a Nazi theyd be lying about that too. But he seems to be an effective messenger so I’d look forward to his performance in the general.

He wasn’t when he got it either. I follow politics closer than 99.9% of Americans. That symbol is not widely used in politics, or groups directly associated with politics. Maybe people following the right closely would see it but not following electoral politics.

Show me the 2018 post. I believe you just can’t find it

I guess if they start running Super Bowl ads with the nazi skull more people will recognize it. You’re not thinking of the world three dimensionally. Life is not just logicam sentences that fit together soundly. If it was that recognizable as a nazi symbol he already would have dropped out.

Alright settle down

maybe that’s the problem I didn’t really watch Schindler’s list. maybe was on in the background when I was younger

How did you come by that knowledge and how many others in Brazil and the United States have the same knowledge do you think?
