And everyone should read this thread.

OK, holy shit, I really am going to need you to say this really loud for the idiots in the back. Watching Progressives co-opt that slogan to defend their shitty candidates and life choices has been infuriating.

So now absolutely nothing matters but beating the GOP. You couldn’t ride with this logic in 2024 but now that it’s a straight White man with a Nazi tattoo and troubling allegations it’s eyes on the prize. Fuck y’all racist piece of shit hypocrites for real.

Yes, we know. You’re a Nazi, so you support other Nazis. You’re not exactly subtle.

@kaivanshroff.bsky.social doesn’t post on his account here often, but he should. This👇 is 🙌 🔥 👏!!!

I don't know if he can say it any louder, but I'm going to ask anyway.

It’s not Mary Peltola’s fault that progressives like abusive Nazis. It’s not Jon Ossoff’s fault. It’s not Julianna Stratton’s fault. It’s not Roy Cooper’s fault. Whatever Maine does, we have to do our best to keep the rot from spreading to these great candidates who had nothing to do with it.

The judge had better make sure he doesn't get bail, or Morris Katz and his fellow Progressives will have him freed and running for a Senate seat before the week's out.

I'm sorry, I legit do not understand why so many people have made Platner this martyr figure for progressivism when he is, by all accounts, just a dude with no political experience or history of activism who also seems deeply shitty and will likely lose?

Platner's candidacy has really done an incredible job of revealing how many left-leaning substackers are just relentlessly shitty human beings.

If you are STILL defending Maine Kampf? You are not a safe person for women to be around. We see you.

...

The thing about the left needing a positive vision for masculinity to counter the right is … they don’t have one either. Their whole thing is “don’t be a woman” as arbitrarily defined by whatever they consider feminine. Apparently some people find this admirable and wish to imitate it

First Matt Gaetz. Then Eric Swalwell. Now Graham Platner. Ro Khanna sure does hang with a lot of people who like to abuse and beat women and girls.

Ken Martin is a piece of shit to even think about allowing someone like Platner to run as a Dem and an even bigger piece of shit to actually let this go forward. He is enabling racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny, and abuse.

Black woman who was the sitting VP of this country in 2024 for the sake of winning against fascism? That's why Black people call bullshit on she ran a bad campaign. It wasn't about her campaign. It's the fact you get to vote for a fascist on the Democratic ticket. You're MAGA & too bitch to claim it

So let me get this straight leftists who support Platner. Y'all can rally around a Nazi tattoo having racist pig who salivate about killing people, abuse women, no political experience, voted and supported Republicans for the sake of winning. But you couldn't support an experienced and progressive

Talarico already had an uphill climb to beat Paxton. The 'gressives embrace of Platner basically just killed his efforts. Any attack ads about Paxton being a lying, thieving, corrupt, and adulterous fraud will ring hollow and just roll off his back.

The amount of men that are toting that pail of shit is not surprising. Take note though that Platner is being defended and if anyone else not like Platner was to do a sliver of this, they would run his ass out of town. I am begging people to see this for what it is.

Dear people using Platner's PTSD to excuse his bad behavior: Fix your hearts. Kthxbye

Hey, so fun fact - when the host of Jeopardy is calling you out on your bullshit, that should be accepted as a sign that your screw-up has reached levels that usually trigger intense interventions.

Since Platner is burning up the net, here's your public announcement that ANY PERSON that says they are running as an *outsider* in the Democratic Party, even if they have a clean history, will be problematic. Book that.

Bernie Sanders has never cared about women.

We ain't talking about children. We are talking about this man placing his hands on grown ass women because they didn't do what he said. Using spanking a child in this context is fucked up

On fffucking loop.

What happens if you fill the card? Because the frothing and ranting that came up in the hour or so after this story broke could absolutely fill that card.

Which, by the way, IS THE ENTIRE DAMN POINT of the “Nazi bar” anecdote everyone loves to pass around.

Anyways, it’s almost like a Nazi tattoo is a huge warning sign that a lot more awfulness is hidden beneath, or something.

Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Gallego and Heinrich all fucked this up. They have the political skills of a turd. Nobody in their right mind would gamble their political power on an unknown person for nothing. Someone need to ask why they really did this?

🗣️Shouts…MORE THINGS WILL COME OUT AND THEY WILL BE JUST AS AWFUL IF NOT WORSE!!!

That's the thing that gets me. Like, say whatever you want about the Nazi tattoo and links (I hope it's awful), but telling someone you'd rape people to establish dominance? That's sociopathic behavior, at best, and a sign that if you're human, it's time for you to leave.

Just a reminder… Chris Hayes is the same man that platformed most of the looney left and fueled their “burn it down” approach to politics is a big reason why we are where we are today. Stop watching his garbage ass show.

If any of this stuff about Platner is true, one other thing it should do is pretty much end whatever credibility the podbros had. It won’t, but it should.

Regressives went from wanting to have a beer with a candidate to giving you a candidate you have to not leave your beer unattended around. Wild stuff.

Jared Verse gets the bad news www.thedrawplay.com/comic/jared-...

Um. That's assault. That's false imprisonment. White men across the ideological spectrum are reaching for one final chance to hold back the tide of their decreasing power.

If y’all think this is the last of the awful stuff to come out about Platner…

If I'm @kenmartin.bsky.social, I would have been renouncing support and denouncing all of this shit non-stop for the last three or four hours. Also, I'd be updating my LinkedIn for being so naive to allow myself and the organization I lead to get roped into backing this prick.

In all seriousness, I wasn't expecting him to top the Nazi tattoo and allegations so decisively.

Me reading the news out of Maine:

All I will say is that Platner would NOT be an issue now if white folks quit white folksing all the damn time and listen to the voices coming from the canaries in the coal mine. When people warn you, LISTEN!!!!

GG, Progressives. 10/10, no notes. How in the actual fuck did you manage this?

This is Lucy. She is the only being on earth allowed to chew with their mouth open. Encouraged even. 12/10 (TT: ilovelucy_thejackrussell)

When Dave Portnoy has more moral character than Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Martin Heinrich, Ruben Gallego, Chris Murphy, and Ken Martin...

Big congrats to all the progressives, good job, no notes, excellent political instincts.

And so it begins. If Platner becomes the nominee a week from today, every Democratic candidate running for anything from U.S. Senate down to local school board will be pestered about him. Trump/GOP literally running concentration camps & having secret police disappearing people won't matter.

Goddamn. How the hell do you make Dave Portnoy look like the good guy?

You know your show was a pile of shit when The Hollywood Reporter doesn't even bother hiding the largest spoiler of the entire thing in the headline of it's recap.

No "No Kings" Rally after the VRA decision. No "No Kings" Rally after countless kidnappings and abductions of migrants. No "No Kings" Rally after bombing Iran. The "No Kings" Rallies are performative. And self-serving.

There are so many parallels btwn “progressives” and MAGA but the one I think of when watching Steyer freaks attack Becerra the way they all attacked Biden is that the *real* thing that both groups despise is decency. Both sects of white people are repelled by it.
