Graham Platner is a pig
If you're reading this, you probably already know who he is, but if you don't you can do your own research, he's running for Senate in Maine. I had been hearing about this guy for a while, but when I saw he was going on the call-in show I watch every week, I took the opportunity to directly ask him to admit he got a Nazi tattoo and simply apologize, which is what someone who has "Seen the horrors of American Imperialism and been dissilusioned" would do.
Of course, he said exactly what I expected him to say. That he's addressed it before, (look it up, he'e never apologized for it, only rationalized it) that it's "a skull and crossbones"... completely dodging the question and refusing to admit what his tattoo was, and refusing to apologize. I can't understand why people like this guy. EVEN IF you can believe the tattoo b.s. it's STILL a tattoo comemorating his time killing people in Fallujah and Ramadi, a "skull and crossbones" that "represents his time in the war and the work he did" HIS WORDS BTW. That's serial killer type shit and it is NOT normal to be okay with it.
The guy is very clearly STILL pro-war, still proud of the work he did, and won't own up to it. I honestly can't believe I've typed all this, if it's not obvious to you that this guy is just another pig, you're a stooge! And the "Okay let Collins have another term" argument is so disingenuous. Idk that much about her I'm sure she's a pig too. I'm just calling them like I see them. Thankfully I don't live in Maine so what I say is meaningless. But be for real people... Sanders, AOC, and this guy... That's your "progressive platform"????? it's so pathetic. The bar is on the FLOOR.
ICE, IDF, USMC they're all the same.
