Sometimes I want to dust off my lemmygrad alt to go heckle these shitlibs, then I remember I deleted reddit so I wouldn’t waste so much time and energy getting upset at shitlibs. To all who go into the trenches to fight these posters, I salute you
As long as all parties consent, there is no power dynamic at play, and everyone is an adult, I don’t give a rat’s ass what someone does in their spare time. At least he is isn’t some hypocritical xtian. In the end, the person elected won’t matter. Be fun to watch him and Fetterman throwing hands, or Josh Hawley cowering in fear like on Jan 6.
This dude is an idiot. I found an article where they show he had a Kik account where his profile photo is just him in a towel. Bathroom mirror selfie pic. His name on there is literally “Graham Platner” LMAO. Like, sir, did you get Courier Sixed in Afghanistan and forget to mention it or something?
I hope he wins. This guy is a content goldmine and its not like electoralism matters anyway. I want him to bring fist fights back to capital hill. They never should have gotten rid of those.
“Well sweaty, before he was just hurting foreigners, but this is a devastating attack on the heart of an american citizen!! We must condemn it!!!”
it’s also cause that’s blackmail and honeypot exposure my guy. Keep your dick in your pants.
being a boot and destroying your marriage because of infidelity is like a peanutbutter and banana sandwich. sounds like an oddity, is actually quite common.
Pretty much
Setting aside all the already existing reasons to file this guy under “not very smart,” the fact that this is how he behaves the moment he’s even threatening to gain an ounce of power is not a wonderful indication of character.
There was an incredibly frustrating thread where libs were treating voting for Platner like the most important thing ever. Like, y’all, he had an SS tattoo, and was a blackwater guy. At least temper your expectations
Super rare good take from a .world user:
A lot of folks here are too young to remember this, but back in my day there was a democrat senator from Pennsylvania called John Fetterman. When he ran for this position, he was hailed as a new kind of progressive. Gave off serious working class vibes, wouldn’t wear a suit, and ran a really progressive ticket. He had a bit of an iffy past, involving threatening a black jogger with a shotgun, and fighting to gentrify the town of Braddock when he was mayor there. And of course, he had parents who were business owners who bought his political career for him. But we were told to ignore this, because he was saying a lot of progressive stuff now, and because the person he was running against was ostensibly worse (a tv doctor I think).
Anyway, he got elected, and the unimaginable happened: the guy who acted conservatively in the past, was acting conservatively in the present too! Even though he’d said he’d changed his tune and was a progressive now, he was supporting conservative legislation, and even enthousiastically supporting the genocide Israel is committing in Gaza (although it’s hard to find a democrat who doesn’t).
The Plattner situation reminds me of this. Rich parents, iffy past (3 tours of joining the illegal invasion of Iraq, and one in afghanistan, mercenary after, an actual, honest to god, I’m not making this up, nazi tattoo on his chest), and iffy present (he’s calling people who participated in the war crimes committed in Fallujah[1] “war heroes” in campaign interviews). It’d be kind of cool if we could learn from history instead of repeat it.
I>nb4 the greybeards bring up Obama and his progressive campaign.
[1] they besieged the entire city and cut off its water and electricity supply. This is a war crime. Imagine being an elderly or disabled person who cannot leave the city – these are the kinds of people targeted by this attack. This is the kind of stuff Israel does in Gaza that makes legal scholars say that they’re committing a genocide. Anyway, the folks that did this are war heroes, apparently.
Of course all the replies are that it doesn’t matter we just need to

Yeah In one discussion someone called me privileged for saying that not every election is the most important election ever.
When I suggested they consider the inverse, that being able to invest the energy to focus on every little election in a decaying pseudo -democracy, instead of having to organize for your immediate material interests is what’s privileged, I got a non-response, and a bunch of downvotes ¯\(ツ)/¯
Libs really are something
These people hurt my head.
This guy specifically… of course the russian hackers come up. Then we decide that Nazi imagery is okay.
At least it’s an honest post about that rampant Nazi culture in the military, because libs love to ignore how prevalent it is
it’s maine, i bet he still wins. the voting base of the state is like exclusively 65 year old white libertarians
The crucial Swinger vote
“hey kid, you know what a pineapple means???”
HE’S GOT THE MORALS OF AN ALLY CAT, JACK!!! I would trust the alley cat more. At least, the cat doesn’t have a Totenkopf tattoo.
The media is definitely trying to do it but honestly I think that the public hasn’t given a shit about sex scandals in like two decades and a blow job in the White House this ain’t.
cheating is worse than incivility, but definitely not as bad as war crimes or nazism
Gram Fratner
Gotta be real, I’d rather have a politician with the reputation of a French spy than the many that we have that approve of genocide today.
a french spy would have said he knew what the totenkopf was when he got the tattoo, would have covered it when he was done spying, and would have dropped some nazis or otherwise undermined their efforts rather than switching to rifle grenades when ordered to stop using artillery on civilians.
I meant they can’t honeypot him with girls cause his wife already knows he cheats so bad but yeah
