His website has some good policy positions.
He wants election finance reform, believes in environmental protections, medicare for all, protecting small businesses and is anti-billionaire. Seems like the right kind of anti-establishment populist and it’s refreshing to see someone so unapologetically progressive.
Dude helped do war crimes in Iraq and has a fucking nazi symbol on his chest
.
Talk is cheap. See what happened with Fetterman? This guy is already showing who he is. He shot civilians in Fallujah. This dude should be in The Hague, I ain’t gonna trust anyone who got a fucking Nazi symbol engraved in them, they belong in the dustbin of history. The dude got the tattoo covered this week, because of the negative press about it. He was happy to keep that nazi symbol on his chest for nearly two decades and only got it removed because it got him flak.

Yah I forgot politicians are always honest about their intents and goals on their platform websites, my bad.
I think committing war crimes and tattooing fascist symbols on your body is a pretty good indicator of the quality of a person.

Good luck
Interesting that the website you linked uses heavily biased language, cites a source that’s literally a guy who knew a guy who knew Platner, and consistently attacks the most prominent left-ish figures in American politics like Mamdani, Sanders and Cortes. Looks to me like a phony left website set up to trap leftists into thinking it’s on their side. Hmmm what does Common Dreams have to say?

Interesting.
Yeah, the language of the site is charged and I don’t agree with all of it, but it really doesn’t set off any alarm bells for you that this guy served at Abu Ghraib and later became a mercenary for Blackwater as recently as 2018? Like the dude with the Nazi tattoo who signed up to kill more people for US interests during the first Trump admin doesn’t seem like a red flag?
It doesn’t strike you as strange that this dude had a Nazi symbol tattooed on him for nearly two decades and only got it covered up recently when there was bad press about it?
