You have no idea how he's gonna vote. He could vote exactly the same as Collins. You just don't know. All you do truly know is he is a liar. And you're willing to give a pass to a guy with a Nazi tattoo who treats women like garbage. OK then.

Platner very much is a discernible type, but it’s not “flawed but basically decent working class joe.” It’s “prep school creep with a sadistic streak and an ironclad confidence that it will never catch up to him.“

Marginalized folks: this guys giving off really bad vibes Dems: you cant just go on vibes! And anyway hes "authentic" Us: he was a Blackwater merc? Them: He's changed! Us: Totempkampf Tattoo? Them: Youthful indiscretion NYT: Multiple SA allegations Them: oh no! who could've seen this coming?

So many people insisted that Graham Platner was just a growing boy who couldn’t be held responsible for a Nazi tattoo and some bad behavior in relationships and the Democrats are so desperate to appeal to white men who they will never sway that they will tolerate this raggedy ass man.

If you give a damn about trans lives, STOP PRAISING THE POPE AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HIERARCHY. They're literally a key part of trans genocide. Right now. Today. Actively and aggressively. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to them.

Notice how the papacy's good acts are all statements and the horrific ones are actual actions and policies with serious resources behind them? The Catholic Church has a massive healthcare network and inflicted a total trans care ban there last year. They're an enthusiastic part of trans genocide:

for the youths who werent around for the iraq installment - dont believe anything the govt says about progress - no the democrats dont have to say getting rid of the baddie was good and therefore they have to support the war - the war needs to be ended - the media is not your ally and they love war

to clarify, whereas an ouroboros is a great snake eating its own tail, symbolizing the endless cycles of life, nature, and the universe; a reverse ouroboros is a great snake crawling up its own asshole, symbolizing the infinite hubris of dumb motherfuckers who are always wrong about everything

The neoliberal tactic to destroy a movement: 1. Join support of said movement 2. Criticize the unifying policy of said movement 3. Spread the criticism through the pundit class 4. Run poll on policy following widespread propaganda 5. Point to poll as reason why policy must change 6. Leave movement

the brits should be so embarrassed by their transphobia, they got completely bamboozled by an American evangelical plot. they think they’re so much smarter than us but they got turned into a country of jug hooting bigots without even needing to be told it’s what God wants.
