"I'm different from pro-lifers! But women who get abortions are like Nazis."

Someone making a personal choice is literally never eugenics. Eugenics is when the government decides who is allowed to reproduce. It literally is forced-birth rhetoric to act like someone choosing to abort makes them a eugenicist.

Someone choosing to abort is never eugenics. Eugenics is when the government decides who can and cannot reproduce. Someone aborting for down syndrome isn't eugenics. Die mad about it.

Do you guys think that Kavanaugh supporters were justified to disregard Christine Blasey-Ford's testimony because she's a Democrat? because I think a bunch of you are very much acting like you believe this

Thinking, once again, for no reason, how leftist spaces in the past were almost always undone by misogyny and creepy (or worse) behavior towards women

If Progressives fought as hard for the Democratic nominee for POTUS the way they’re fighting for Platner, they wouldn’t need to fight this hard for Platner. IJS.

Some in the Democratic chattering class will forgive a lot of things. The one unforgivable offense? Being old. Not bigoted opinions . Not bad judgment. Not moral failures. Just having too many birthdays. I am a forgiving person… but damn!

And this is why I say "Fuck Maine."

Damn that's crazy. Unrelated, but what does the S in BDS stand for again?

The woman who accused Platner of abuse/etc, Lindsey Fifield, has a lengthy post at the other place, FWIW:

They hated Jesus because he spoke the truth, etc etc.

We live in a world where the same people who said Kamala Harris supports genocide say that Graham Platner is the future of the progressive left and I am disgusted by all of you.

Yeah, and that is abuse. I know because I lived it. Thank fucking God for the male loneliness epidemic taking you people out of the gene pool.

Funny how the same people who were "uncommitted" to "Holocaust Harris" are now just DESPERATE to defeat a republican and stick it to Trump no matter what, Nazi tattoos included. I genuinely hate you people.

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.

This whole thing has taught me that Maine is a disgusting place that deserves to be pushed into the sea.

Damn, and here I thought Floridians were the worst of what America has to offer.

The only bright side to Platner doing anything at all is that he's exposed an enormous vein of misogyny and internalized white superiority in a group who likes to think they're immune to both.

(Campaign not denying story) You realize that lady is republican right

This whole debacle over Graham Planter just proves my point about the left being like MAGA. They will overlook all sorts of lurid, appalling details as long as their candidate says the magic buzzwords.

Hunter Biden is not running for a Senate seat, Alex. Use that law degree and think a little why the situation might be different. Also, at least Hunter fucked that widow consensually, which is more than we can say for Planter's, and likely your own, previous liasons.

TBF, every non-white minority person who pointed at the Nazi tattoo back in September and asked “why isn’t this a dealbreaker for you???” deserve to gloat more than a little.

Platner boosters will excuse anything as long as it keeps them from voting for a woman.

For plenty of leftists and centrists alike, there is a desire to discipline women and femininity, to put us in our place, and redeem some kind of politics of domination--well, as today's news makes clear, you see what that *actually* looks like in Platner's mind. Do you like that?

Someone needs to check in on this dude's exes too.

Whether Platner wins or Collins wins - Trump has his senator.

If you wonder why we haven’t been able to move past sexism, why we still have rape kit backlogs, and why we have a real problem w/domestic violence in this country, just read through the continued support and justification of Platner from white men on the left. It’s a scourge on our character.

At this rate, the October Surprise is gonna be Platner ran security for Epstein Island or drove busses of people to J6 lmao

"you can't trust the Platner accusations because one of the women is a republican." And yet he dated her for years. And voted for Susan Collins multiple times. And willingly went to war for "adventure." Gee, it's almost like this guy is a comically obvious plant.

"Oh yes! This rough-hewn guy seems like the kind of person a right-wing chud would like! Let's recruit him!" "Oh no! This rough-hewn guy is exactly the kind of person a right-wing chud would like!" Ad infinitum

It's one thing to say you don't think someone's personal failings are disqualifying or that you think they've atoned for them sufficiently, but I really hate this meme that evidence of low moral character is actually a sign of authenticity and therefore a plus for political candidates.

Yeah, being old is definitely worse than being a Nazi rapist. But only when the old person is a woman.

Frankly, anyone who buys the "voting doesn't matter" BS is stupid. Voting clearly does matter, since the right is dead set on making sure only a chosen few are able to vote. We need to start treating these people like the opposition they are.

Oh this one makes my heart hurt.

hunter biden is, somehow, the best dem propaganda on the internet for the last several days. it is just nonstop zingers that make right wingers look insane

Last night, the Supreme Court ruled that the VRA cannot protect even against *intentionally* discriminatory voting policies When we say there is no federal statute remaining the enforce the 15th Amendment, this is what we mean

Breaking news: Tennessee’s ban on the recruitment of unemancipated minors to obtain out-of-state abortions without parental consent does not restrict access to abortion or violate free speech rights, the state argued Tuesday at the Sixth Circuit. www.courthousenews.com/tennessee-pu...

Can't believe you guys are blocking Bisexual Hunter Biden during Pride Month.

Harmonie Perrone had an ectopic pregnancy in Illinois and was refused care. As a result, Perrone lost her only remaining fallopian tube. She's now suing the religious hospital and OBGYN who turned her away. Illinois is a pro-choice state but religious providers are still allowed to refuse care.

Autopsies show how hard doctors tried to save babies who died after not getting a vitamin K shot: tubes inserted in their airways, blood transfusions. They’re excruciating to read because they underscore how preventable these deaths could have been.

💯🎯💯🎯

Out on the town in Croatia having the time of my life with a bunch of Marine buddies, they’re all just out of frame, getting Totenkopf tattoos too.

Defeat him Janet, and you will be reincarnated as a lotus flower.

More than a right, voting is one of two civic duties built into our form of governance. The other being jury duty. I’ll note how often & to what lengths many people go to justify avoiding both. Then we complain about “the government” & “the justice system” & wonder how we got here…

I know several ppl who have had to go back in the closet over the last few years. It doesn't mean you're a coward. It means you're a survivor. Do whatever you need to keep yourself safe. And for what it's worth, I love you and I'm fighting for you no matter what.

Changed my name for pride month.

I hope y’all realize the Maine primary hasn’t happened yet. I just really want folks to realize that ALL OF THIS is a choice.

The thing about Platner is that I swore we were all passing around some anecdote a little while back about how you can't allow even one nazi, even a well-spoken one with good vibes, into your bar. I have a very clear memory of this. We all agreed with it and found it trenchant and apt.
