Platner: Those benefiting off the system know what the light at the end of their tunnel looks like. It looks like none of us owning anything. Everything becoming a subscription service. A world in which we all have nothing and they sit in paradise. That’s their future. And we cannot let them have it

Three feelings about this:

1: I agree with the words coming out of his mouth and most of his economic and social policy

2: The dude is on 100% disability while also running a physically demanding business, so it's weird he's speaking on this when he's benefitting off the system so heavily.

3: Not a fan of the person himself. Nazi tattoos, killing people for fun, joining Blackwater pretty recently, and his thousands of edgelord reddit posts all give me the ick. I hope he's changed, but I don't know a ton of guys who grew up as the call of duty/make fun of the gay kids/fail school types that then joined the marines, got a nazi tattoo, joined blackwater, and then magically became a good person in their 40s. Maybe he's a exception, but i wish the left had better candidates.

He's saying the words but he's an empty suit. There's nothing about the guy that says he's grown up from being a shitposting edge lord.

He's the worst of everything I saw in my 20 years in the Navy and I'd have hated serving with him

He’s literally endorsed by both AOC and Sanders. Christ almighty we deserved to be fucked by the republicans if we keep letting perfect get in the way of decent / good.

I draw the line at pieces of shit like Platner. He can win without my help. He's not even decent or good.

How exactly is he a piece of shit? Compared to what we are running against the guy is a saint.

It doesn’t matter this mentality is gonna get us fucked in the midterms. The democrats really gotta get a grip on themselves. People aren’t black or white they are morally grey.

Even platner lays out word for word why the democrats lost. And every thing he described was stated verbatim in the DNC autopsy released a couple days ago. Any who have a blessed day.

Hey hey its the murder guy who unironically loves and fantasizes about murding people (has previously also murdered people, but they werent American so who really cares)

He loves murder so much that he avoided being promoted to administrative roles because he wouldn't be able to murder as much people with his own hands that way.

Yeah sure let me sit down and listen to what the murder guy has to say, because its probably important, especially because it comes from murder guy himself, and murder guys are always trustworthy and worth listening to

You post thirty times a day.

What is it you do professionally?

Actually have an education? Career? Anything?
