Disappointing take. My guess is she’s just not very informed on the allegations.

    The fascists who joined the military, saw how evil it was on their first tour, stayed and kept going back to kill brown people, then left and joined a private mercenary company to go back to the same theater, considers themselves a WW2 history buff, got a Nazi insignia tattooed their chest, proudly took their shirt off and displayed it for 19 years, became a petite bourgeois farmer of luxury food and joined local politics to protect their economic interests, and then got the tattoo removed and made some basic noise that he had no idea…

    Those fascists?

        A) you don’t know the difference between bourgeoisie and petite bourgeoisie
        B) you don’t know what a sheepdog is.
        C) I never said he was a plant.
        D) his worldview, ideology, and beliefs will lead him to maintaining the empire, and if you don’t believe me you can wait a few years and we can watch what happens together

            Everyone who disagrees with me is a paid shill, and other children’s stories

              People mindlessly parroting back today’s talking points for the anti-left smear campaign does make you look like a shill, yes.

              How about you actually go do, let’s say, 5 minutes of listening or reading to what Platner actually believes or has to say before you speak? You can even set a timer if you like.

                I’ve read it. It’s the same bullshit all the other Democrats pandering to the progressives have. AOC, no weapons for Israel, except defensive weapons! Biden, I’m very progressive, but here’s a crime bill! Harris, I’m totally different, but I wouldn’t change anything Biden did and do it exactly the same way! Obama, change is possible, but actually here’s a massive bailout to the banks and Libya’s a slave market now!

                It’s all designed to bring you back into the fold. Platitudes and campaign promises are useless. He’s going to make everyone feel so much better when he gets into office and then he’s going to sliiiiide to the right clap clap sliiiide to the right clap clap. How could he not given his fundamentally reactionary background, economic interests, and relationships.

                    Again, I can point to a bunch of people with Tottenkopfs who claimed they wanted to build a working class movement and fight the good fight against the oppressors. That’s literally why they called themselves National Socialists. Patriotic, god fearing, proud of country National Socialists with Tottenkopfs and a penchant for killing people that were different than they were.

                    When people show you who they are, believe them. I’ll be very happy to be wrong. But honestly, he seems a lot like a leopard and we’re all going to have our faces eaten in a few years when arguing against war for America First economics just doesn’t work and he’ll actually need to take a principled anti-imperialist and revolutionary defeatist stance. More than likely we’ll see him voting for military spending, voting for police expansion, and generally being a standard run of the mill petite bourgeois imperialist Democrat that wants to maintain democracy and by democracy he means capitalism and the imperial war machine.
