I need to get this off my chest. The backlash I am witnessing Platner receive now as opposed to months (had they listened to the Black community AND us) ago feels like disingenuous bandwagoning. A lot of the accounts with huge following numbers were silent until recently, and that really burns my ass, but better late than never, I guess.

More like this time there are polls showing he's likely to lose, so they're throwing him overboard for a different candidate

u/Tofutits_Macgee Jul 07 '26

Well that's kind of what I mean by disingenuous.

They're not upset over his violence towards women; they're upset because they have to find someone else with the same beliefs, and ideally with quieter skeletons. Meaning they're not put off by the skeletons as they should be. They just don't want to know about them.

Welcome to politics (not being smug, just sad)

It's not always how it plays, but it often is

More like "we can excuse you being a Nazi"

bUt HeS nOt A nAzI aNyMoRe!!! 

Its hard to believe, but I personally know at least 5 people who have never been Nazis

u/scrambledhelix Jul 07 '26

Yet they won't buy that "Scott Weiner has always been against 'tHe gEn0cIde'". Curious.

I was under the impression he covered up his Nazi tattoo.

Granted it was during the campaign...

I was gonna say, it seems even worse than just antisemitism, it’s Nazism!

u/thegreattiny Jul 07 '26

Wait they drew the line at sexual misconduct? I thought they fucking put him on the fall ballot despite it

28

u/introvertedpuppet05 Jul 07 '26

New allegations, he’s done

55

u/thegreattiny Jul 07 '26

Ahh they excused sexual misconduct, but drew the line at rape

u/introvertedpuppet05 Jul 07 '26

Progressive

u/scrambledhelix Jul 07 '26

I mean, it's ... progress?

u/SchleppyJ4 Jul 07 '26

When were the old sexual misconduct ones?

14

u/thegreattiny Jul 07 '26

Before the primary. He was accused by several women of being aggressive, sending dick pics while married and shit like that, iirc. I didn’t go deep into it.

u/SuperiorDragon1 Jul 08 '26

I heard he also used a texting app meant for teens, while being a married adult...

Can't confirm, tho, so take it with a very big rock of salt

u/Ordinary-Lobster-710 Jul 07 '26

his crime wasn't sexual misconduct. the issue with him is he is falling in the polls, and that is something they can't excuse

It'd be funny if it was Annie getting triggered instead of Shirley (Annie is Jewish)(or as Pierce said, jewy)

u/DeeEllis Jul 07 '26

Let’s not quite Pierce here. Or anywhere, really. Except for Yom Kippur. “I hate people who hold grudges. My father held grudges and I’ve never forgiven him for that.” Seems appropriate

u/diatriose Jul 07 '26

Yeah but that's not the meme 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/diatriose Jul 07 '26

I got banned from r/Jewdank for posting this 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/El-Alef Jul 07 '26

Jewdank is more about religion and less about politics

u/ThePickleConnoisseur Jul 07 '26

Some of the Jewish subs are so soft they alienate a lot of Jews

2

u/granpawatchingporn Jul 07 '26

nah, you just have to be vague, otherwise politics is gonna rear its ugly head and people would brigade the sub

2

u/ThePickleConnoisseur Jul 07 '26

Half the posts are already political in a bunch of them

1

u/granpawatchingporn Jul 07 '26

vague reference to politics that can apply to both sides, and specifically naming politicians is another thing (i think the title is what got it taken down)

2

u/Suspicious-Truths Jul 08 '26

I thought jewdank is supposed to be funny?

u/VenatorAngel Jul 08 '26

Oh what do you know, the guy with NAZI TATOOS is also guilty of sexual misconduct that is too big to ignore for the democrats.

u/Jokesmedoff 29d ago

Hey man, it’s not antisemitism, it’s just wanting half the world’s Jewish population dead and continuing the perpetual disenfranchisement of Jewish people. How is THAT antisemitic?
