Despite media scrutiny and attacks on his character, progressive Senate candidate Graham Platner continues to gain support in Maine, with 58% of voters backing him. His platform focuses on making life more affordable, shifting the Democratic Party away from corporate interests, and ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share. #GrahamPlatner
He also said **terrorizing and killing brown people" was the only thing he was ever good at, so he didn’t feel like he had any other options. Makes sense to me
Yup. He’s a piece of shit who’s campaigning for giving more money to war criminals like him. People who want to call themselves leftists bend over backwards to honor and respect “veterans” who wasted their lives fighting for ~democracy and freedom~ subjecting other nations to American terrorism to enforce the empire is EXACTLY WHY nothing will ever get better.
Have principals, and refuse to back people who are principally apposed to your principals.
Edit: downvote you right wing bootlickers. In his own words after going to Iraq three times and loving murdering Iraqis so much he did it again with blackwater, he has this to say:
I served for ten years overseas. I know what sacrifice looks like. And I also know this country is failing far too many of its veterans. I will NEVER turn my back on the men and women who served. If you put on that uniform, then this country owes you a lifetime of respect and support.
We owe him a lifetime of respect and support for what he did? Fuck him and fuck you if you support war criminals as soon as they can themselves progressive.
Is there any evidence that he specifically committed war crimes or are you just assuming that literally every military person by default is a war criminal because words are meaningless when faced with self righteous anger from privileged white kids
Are you asking if there’s evidence of what he says he regrets being a part of happened? Or are you asking for evidence of blackwater operations being war crimes?
I’m a Palestinian adult, not a privileged white kid. I’d take someone who calls the genocide what it is over a full blown Zionist any day, but a neo-liberal Zionist who uses soft language to get elected isn’t what society needs. You deserve better, you should fight for better.
