this site, but you sure can ruminate all about AIPAC in relation to him in another post. It's not believable that you don't even know about his Reddit posts and you can't recall ever seeing anything at all about the content of those.

I think we're done here. Your so-called questions are just disingenuous, sorry.

I don't care about Platner's sexting issue, but I do care about his Nazi Tattoo. [View all] Chasstev365 Yesterday OP

It matters to me also - TBF Yesterday #1

Do you think Platner is a Nazi? Ocelot II Yesterday #2

It is what some imply (with absolute intent) and I think it is an absolutely false charge. Platner is not a nazi. He is Celerity Yesterday #32

Of course he isn't. I was looking for someone to explain why having gotten a tattoo Ocelot II Yesterday #35

"Graham Platner is no Nazi". AloeVera Yesterday #74

The tattoo really pesters me LetMyPeopleVote Yesterday #3

I don't think sexting is a good idea in a candidate LisaL Yesterday #12

To be fair the sexting was years ago EdmondDantes_ Yesterday #18

He has only been married for 3 years. LisaL Yesterday #20

In this context, I would say during the campaign EdmondDantes_ Yesterday #52

Years ago? Try 3 or less mcar 6 hrs ago #181

He was not running at the time. Nt AloeVera Yesterday #24

Well, I guess anything you did before the campaign LisaL Yesterday #29

Like I said, he's running for sainthood. AloeVera Yesterday #57

Actually, given how he surged in spite of the tattoo and posts, karynnj Yesterday #77

I was only addressing the sexting, I gather you missed that. I did not call anything else the P word. AloeVera 1 hr ago #209

right? Skittles Yesterday #25

i urge you to not check Lindsay Graham's browser history mr715 Yesterday #108

Whoa, I did not know that PatSeg Yesterday #22

Those things matter to me, too, but I don't want Collins to be re-elected. sop Yesterday #4

I agree, but I think Maine Democrats could have come up with less controversial candidate Chasstev365 Yesterday #6

They didn't, so the only choice will be Collins or Platner. I would prefer Susan Collins not be re-elected. sop Yesterday #9

Fair Enough! Chasstev365 Yesterday #11

THANK YOU Skittles Yesterday #26

Somebody vetted him. That's how we know that Platner is a gay bashing, rape apologizing, racist lapucelle Yesterday #112

JFC Skittles 22 hrs ago #117

Did I mention that Platner sounded a bit wistful that urinating on [enemy] bodies is now a "poor choice, lapucelle 15 hrs ago #124

Chuck Schumer endorsed Fetterman. Emile 8 hrs ago #162

Chuck Schumer promoted Janet Mills. But she dropped out. Nixie 7 hrs ago #165

Yes you are half correct. Us Bernie people know we were fooled by a centrist. Emile 7 hrs ago #171

Oh please. Fetterman's victory over Connor Lamb was all the rage because "corporations." Nixie 3 hrs ago #198

Lamb was more honest. He ran as a centrist, Emile 3 hrs ago #200

More rewriting and very pathetic attempts at that. Nixie 3 hrs ago #201

Egads, I admitted more than once he fooled Emile 3 hrs ago #202

More rewriting. Nixie 3 hrs ago #203

Same reply as Post 171 Emile 7 hrs ago #172

Didn't Sanders also elevate Tulsi Gabbard and Nina Turner? lapucelle 6 hrs ago #178

Chuck Schumer has a track record of endorsements too. Emile 6 hrs ago #179

Sorry, "Quick! Look over here!" doesn't work on me. lapucelle 6 hrs ago #183

A lot of us were fooled by Centrist Fetterman, but imo I think Schumer knew. Emile 5 hrs ago #184

Yes, great reminder about Gabbard and Uyger. It's quite an unmistakable list, and there is no apology or explanation Nixie 3 hrs ago #195

I forgot about his not voting for Biden and Harris. betsuni 19 hrs ago #122

That's not true. Three Democrats will be on the June 9 ballot: Platner, Mills, and David Costello. lapucelle Yesterday #106

Costello's polling at 3 to 4%, Mills withdrew from the race, and Platner is the presumptive nominee. sop 15 hrs ago #127

So it hasn't been determined that "the only choice will be Platner or Collins", lapucelle 14 hrs ago #128

You're right, it's never too late; Mills could re-enter the race and Platner could do the decent thing and drop out. sop 14 hrs ago #131

Mills is still on the ballot, but I'm not sure why David Costello is being dismissed out of hand. lapucelle 14 hrs ago #134

I do believe Platner's explanation. Americanme Yesterday #5

What's his explanation for sexting? LisaL Yesterday #13

I have not heard his explanation for that, or even what the texts were about. Americanme Yesterday #54

I find that hilarious. LisaL Yesterday #63

On that, I agree 100%. Americanme Yesterday #99

Nice switch. intheflow 11 hrs ago #142

Getting it drunk sure, possible, having it for almost 20 years without knowing seems very unlikely to me EX500rider Yesterday #56

Exactly. LisaL Yesterday #67

He wasn't running for office then MichMan Yesterday #100

WTF does it have to do with running for office? LisaL Yesterday #111

Because it wasnt a problem until he ran DetroitLegalBeagle 13 hrs ago #135

Amen to everything. If he was so indoctrinated in the military as is claimed, Nixie Yesterday #7

This is better than nothing, but I was actually hoping for his Nixie Yesterday #49

Of course he's criticized Bush/ Cheney! AloeVera Yesterday #68

LOL, This is from after he started his senate campaign. Apparently you don't care about knowing why Nixie Yesterday #71

Good Lord. He was not a public figure before then! AloeVera Yesterday #75

Good Lord, yourself. He was also a former Republican. His own words. Nixie Yesterday #76

I see.. AloeVera Yesterday #79

Hilarious that you now know nothing about him and are asking for all sorts of links that are all right here on Nixie Yesterday #81

No sources, no evidence? AloeVera Yesterday #83

More LOL. The answers are all over this site and you know it. Nixie Yesterday #86

His interview with NBC News. sheshe2 Yesterday #107

That doesn't make him a Republican. Political affiliation is determined by voter registration, not how you vote. AloeVera 20 hrs ago #119

Ummm K sheshe2 19 hrs ago #120

Platner is a either serial mis-rememberer or a liar, though. lapucelle 15 hrs ago #125

Was Platner lying or *mis-remembering* when he spoke to CNN six months ago? lapucelle 15 hrs ago #126

Was Platner lying or *mis-remembering* when he claimed to never have been "close to money" lapucelle 14 hrs ago #130

Woh, Platner seems to be *mis-remembering* his record of voting for Collins. lapucelle 16 hrs ago #123

Something worse IMO, the insignia worn by the Nazi Death Camp guards EX500rider Yesterday #62
