We read Graham Platner’s whole Reddit archive. The vilification of the Maine candidate for Senate doesn’t square with what he actually wrote in his posts.

    I suspect a majority of the smears against him are from AIPAC type groups that do not like his stance on Israel

      Does that matter in this case? That our enemies identified someone as a mutual enemy doesn’t make them our friend. Electoralism is a shit path anyways, but this guy is completely against any food electoral strategy.

      Edit: good electoral strategy lol

      Or maybe, and hear me out, someone who is too incredulous to even figure out what a totenkopf is without it being beaten over their head (and having to wrench out the apology for it while hearing excuse after excuse for his ignorance) shouldn’t be in a representative position of a small faction of an opposition party.

        minutiæ but I want to make sure I am on the same page with you

        incurious? “incredulous” is more like he is unwilling to believe easily

          I mean that works to. It was more that he was unwilling to believe other leftists, actual fucking leftists.
