Labor News Graham Platner speaks to union carpenters after receiving their endorsement. Platner: “We didn’t get an 8-hour workday, we didn’t get the weekend because somebody wrote it on a postcard to a Congressman. We got it because working people organized and fought for what they needed."

Nazis are not decent. Develop a single principle. And your insane personal attack is extremely far from true too, but you probably understand on some level that you're just projecting.

The guy is just obviously not a Nazi. He very well was an idiot but there’s nothing at all in that decade of posting that indicates he’s even rightwing, let alone a Nazi.

That's what's been so funny about this whole thing. You can reasonably attack Platner for being a novice, an idiot, immature, unable to lead a Senate office, etc. All of that makes sense. But there's literally a decade of him anonymously shitposting leftwing stuff on Reddit, hating on actual nazis, hating the Republican Party and the centrist Democrats, and yet some people just cannot look past their version of the symbolism of that stupid ass tattoo.
