    Why is “I don’t think a guy with the death’s head nazi tattoo should be in office” such a polarizing opinion?

    Because he would be the most leftwing person in the Senate by a wide margin. That’s just how cooked American politics is, the war criminal with a Nazi tat by far outflanks the rest of the Senate ( yes including Bernie, Platner is significantly better than Bernie on Palestine)

    I’m personally just at the point to where I’m checked out on US electoralism but for me it’s been shocking seeing a significant amount of this site and online Western leftists openly and knowingly push Zionist propaganda about him

      I really hope this is the first one of these that doesn’t immediately betray all of you.

      Not being sarcastic, i really do hope this is the one. I don’t believe it to be true but, optimism of the heart.

        Wasn’t referring to the tattoo, but a blatant hit piece that the New York Times ran that portrayed him as being abusive to his girlfriends and fantasized about wanting toremoved people.

        Problem was that the source was a Republican operative that worked for the Heritage foundation and for his opposition. The article itself also gets numerous other ex girlfriends statements that contradict the Republican operative.

        The statement from the Republican op was clearly a smear job and the NY times was running it to smear him because of his criticism of Israel and the authors of the piece have written Zionist articles before.

        There were people on the site that even agreed with the assemement and decided to just run with it anyway cause they don’t like him, that is doing Zionist propaganda

          I’m sure the Zionists are spending millions of dollars against him and using their powerful media apparatus to deploy numerous smears against him just for fun

            Well, Zionists get off on blowing the limbs off of kids with booby-trapped teddy bears, so yes, they do take great pleasure in humiliating their servants who will do their bidding anyways.

        Vote blue no matter who but hexbearly. You don’t live in Mainr, nobody here lives in Maine. All you’re doing is telling everyone how low your standard for “critical support” is Your support of him means nothing. You are free to not worry about that. This is your chance to tell the world that you acknowledge the humanity of the people victimised by a fascist murdering war criminal, and instead you’re trying to whitewash a guy with an ss tattoo who talked about how fun it was to do a little war criming.

          I’m taking defeating Zionism seriously. I’m not in this for moral posturing. There is a reason the Zionists are spending millions to defeat him and using their powerful media apparatus to deploy numerous smears against him. You should question your perspective when you find yourself aligning with them.

        I really wonder how you can claim to think the victims of American imperialism - which he wishes he got to do more of, openly advocates for funding better, and feels he should receive a greater reward for - are human beings while advocating that this monster is the “lesser of two evils”.

        “I love fighting in little wars” and “I wish I got to fight in <insert conflict here>” are not just “scandals”. He is guilty of racialized mass murder, wishes he got to do more of it, and wants to make the USA more capable at it. I assume you haven’t met the people who lost their entire families in the “little wars” he wishes he got to fight more of. I assume you haven’t seen the people, disproportionately small children, who have body parts blown off by the uxo and mines left behind in his “fun” little wars, or indeed the civilians who are killed and maimed when a “clever” troop finds a way to use rifle grenades as improvised mortars after mortars are banned due to the high risk they pose of civilian casualties. I have and as a result I know he is responsible for the exact same things in the wars he did fight in, that he kept going back to fight more in as long as he humanly could, up to and including joining a mercenary company when the military said they wouldn’t let him keep doing the racialized mass murder. But you shouldn’t need to have met these people to know that they ARE people, and that it is not in fact okay to advocate for a man who bears full responsibility for the death and destruction wrought upon them, not even as supposed “harm reduction”.

          I have no interest in an argument about whether this is a good person. The bottom line is that the Zionists are doing everything they can to defeat him, from spending millions of dollars to deploying their media apparatus to endlessly smear him. You are in alignment with these Zionists – I am against them.

            That’s a straight up “no” on the humanity of his victims, and the future victims of the American imperial army he openly and actively supports and advocates the expansion of, then.
