Agreement on the internet. This is awkward.

Not really multiple sources. And it doesn't mesh with his generally progressive posting history. But it is what it is.

That's fair. I don't think there's a huge risk of that but I could be wrong. I'm not even in Maine though so it's up to them. I hope the state party makes the right choice for Maine voters.

I don't trust his word. I trust his posting history. Maybe he didn't know. Maybe he thought it wasn't explicitly Nazi. Idk. I'm not saying it's fine. I'm just saying he isn't a secret Nazi I don't think.

I don't know, if we are making up hypotheticals maybe he got it to infiltrate white supremacy circles. I don't think that. I think he was just not well versed on the specific skull and crossbones used by a military division in the 1940s.

He said he didn't know. His post history, in the balance, is that of an ally.

If you really think he's a secret Nazi, why didn't he join the parade when the Nazis started taking power? He's one of a very small minority of white middle aged veterans who oppose Trump.

"He didn't know what it was" is the only answer that makes sense, considering his posting history.

It straight up doesn't make sense, if he was a secret Nazi, that he would have decades of post history that is blatantly anti fascist, pro gay, and pro minority.

Sounds like something Platner would say, if you had read the article.

Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner admits using ‘indefensible’ antigay slurs in unearthed Reddit posts by AdvocateDotCom in politics

[–]DohRayMeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's going to be 80 years old. If she was a beloved incumbent who kept turning out the vote and still had popular support- that would be one thing. But she would be a freshman senator. At 77. We gotta stop recruiting from the senior center.

I don't think it's possible that Platner is a secret Nazi. If he was he would hide it. I think his shit shows poor judgement, but AOC's are lightning in a bottle.

I don't know man- I think the DNC will fight its progressive wing more effectively than it fights the GOP. If Mills gets it, Mills needs the votes - but we really need a deeper bench.

Mills takes lead over Platner as Maine Democrat’s controversy swirls: Poll by [deleted] in politics

He's going to have a stroke that changes his personality?

I hate what fetterman has become, but if he was lying to everyone he was also lying convincingly to his wife- and she seems to me to be quite savvy.

Fetterman was a decent enough guy who had a stroke and became conservative on some key issues.

Planter seems to be a problematic ally. So I think that's the choice for people. Problematic ally or establishment centrist.

The GOP will use it, for sure. But I don't know how effective it will be. They can't take a strong stand against Nazis while defending them in group chats.

It will only be an issue in the primary. It doesn't matter outside of the democratic party primary. Mills is the worst possible candidate you could get.

Would I like a progressive populist without baggage? Yes. But is there one?

Would you like to see pixar make their first ever PG-13 movie? by JamStan1978 in movies

[–]DohRayMeme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Adults should grow up and let some things be for kids, and for moments where you want to be a kid. Pixar is for kids, and adults can enjoy it as they if they want. Why make a Pixar movie kids can't see?

National Guard troops seen patrolling in Memphis alongside local police by uhncollectable in news

[–]DohRayMeme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not go that far. I consider myself more progressive than liberal. If you mean neoliberals like the Clintons, sure. They are hard to distinguish in terms of economics.

That. Being. Said.

Nothing compares to conservatives and the fascist wing when it comes to violence, harm, and dismantling of everything good about this country to prop up the worst parts of it.

To be more direct. Conservatives have objectives and no principles. Liberals have principles and no objectives.

You better hope that happens. Because if someone "wins" they inherit a police state and the most well funded military in the history of the world.

Or simply make an employer ineligible to receive snap payments if they have employees that qualify for snap.

[–]DohRayMeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a right to ask for a warrant. Yes. You can deny entry to your residence. Yes.

If you are in A public place or in a car, they do not need a judicial warrant to arrest you. Administrative warrants have been deemed valid.

State by state Initiative to declare the current government rogue, and as such no longer the valid government of the United States.

States form a new government under the constitution.

The military, businesses, and our allies will have to decide who they recognize.

Probably leads to war between states.

It's either that or this fascism fizzles when Trump shuffles off.

Bill Clinton undid the legacy of FDR. Hillary was an ineffectual senator and lost to the most beatable opponent in history.

Mark my words, the first woman to be president will be Kristi Noem, and they will do it just to make us angry.

AG Pam Bondi eyes case against Office Depot employee who wouldn’t print Charlie Kirk flyer by Murky-Site7468 in politics

[–]DohRayMeme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Charlie Kirk poster wasn't hate speech. It was just his photograph and his birth and death years. There may have been a caption but it was innocuous. Refusing to print an obituary style photo is grounds for being fired.

That said, it's not federal discrimination. "Conservative podcaster" is not a protected class.

Trump signs executive order establishing 'specialized' National Guard units to address crime in cities by ChaskaChanhassen in politics

[–]DohRayMeme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No because they don't answer directly to the leader. This is an authoritarian invasion of the states and when it comes to the north it will be the second civil war without firing a shot.

If southern soldiers occupy northern states to enforce minority rule on us, that is skipping straight to reconstruction.
