    You really believe he knew it was a nazi tattoo and still chose to get into politics on a platform that is the direct opposite of the establishment? And somehow not knowing the establishment would turn over every rock to discredit him and a nazi tattoo would easily kill his political career. And then also piss off all the nazis by publicly covering it up? And also not have the insight to side with the republicans where Stephen Miller literally plagiarizes Goebbels to give a public nazi speech? If he wanted to be a nazi politician he would’ve had far easier time being that by siding with the republicans and not run on a platform that pisses off both republicans and democrats.

    I’m drawing the conclusion that he was a dumb ass crayon eating marine who got his tattoo vetted (multiple times) by the USMC and didn’t think anything more about it. Because the alternative is that he’s the biggest moron on the planet and Nick Shirley exists so he’s obviously not the biggest moron.

      Yeah alright. Fair enough. Your argument is valid.

      Then like I said, if he’s not a Nazi, I wouldn’t vote for a crayon-eating dum-dum.

        He was a crayon-eating dum-dum. It’s pretty clear somewhere along the line he stopped being a crayon-eater and grew up. 10-20 years ago I wasn’t a crayon-eating dumbass but I was a neoliberal dumbass, now I openly criticize neoliberalism for being fucking stupid. People change and I doubt Platner holds the same views he had 20 years ago when he was a dumb grunt.

          Were you also at Abu Ghraib? Did you also serve several tours in Iraq, murdering countless civilians? Did you also work for Blackwater?

            Is he still in Abu Ghraib? Is he still murdering civilians? Is he still working at Blackwater? And perhaps more importantly, has his military career made him more pro American foreign policy or more anti American foreign policy?

              Maybe I’m crazy, but gleefully murdering and torturing Iraqis is typically a deal breaker for me when it comes to elected officials.

              Couldn’t really care less if he became a fucking monk afterwards

                Gleefully? Fucking gleefully? Could you be any more disingenuous?

                Whatever, it’s not my job to change your opinion. If you want to hold every mistake he’s ever done over his head go ahead, just don’t fall off your high horse. And if it’s such a deal breaker continue voting for the politicians who have seen war only in movies and have no guilt over sending youth into a meat grinder.

                  Yes, fucking gleefully.

                  Do yourself a favor and Google “Graham Platner quotes about killing”

                  Jesus Christ how low is the bar? Yes I’m going to hold his words and actions against him, he’s running for public office and those words and actions are fucking horrifying.

                    I gave you the bare minimum of doing the google (which I shouldn’t be doing in the first place because it’s on you to prove your statements) and found literally nothing, so unless you can cite your source I’m going to stand by what I said.
