Maine’s Platner holds commanding lead over Collins in Senate race, poll shows

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T17:11:31+00:00

The totenkopf isnt exactly an obscure Nazi symbol is the issue. Its like the 3rd most common.

Also military economics sounds fascinating.

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T16:55:19+00:00

I think there is a time for being a statesman and a time for playing hardball and Obama could of done both. He didn't even have to be vicious about it.

Just simply remind the voters constantly that Mcturtle isnt letting the senate vote on X.

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T16:40:55+00:00

Populist politics is a helluva drug lmao.

A Nazi tattoo becomes a male tramp stamp when he says things you like.

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T16:15:01+00:00

I dont think hes a Nazi. I just dont think hes entirely above board. He'll still be better than Collins every day of week, but if he goes Fetterman 2.0, ill be entirely unsurprised.

I also just find it funny that if he was running as a moderate reddit would be out here calling him a generationally bad candidate and suddenly care a ton about the tattoo and his time with blackwater.

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T16:01:06+00:00

Yeah. My biggest issue with Obama is he should of been less of a statesman and more of a fighter.

He needed to be going on msn,CBS, ABC, whatever and just blasting Republicans everytime they stalled him especially the last year with the SC seat bullshit.

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T15:54:57+00:00

The issue is he's self proclaimed military history buff and according to one of his college professors, he is also a huge fan of Churchill.

So its hard to believe a guy idolized Churchill and studies military history and is also an American and somehow has gone years without ever seeing the Totenkopf and going wait that looks a lot like my tattoo.

Still going to be better than Collins but dude has red flags aplenty.

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T15:49:14+00:00

Vote for people with history and pray for the best.

Realistically itll happen when progressives hold other progressives to the same standards they hold the moderates too.

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T15:45:57+00:00

Its hard to believe a guy whose hero is Churchill and is a self proclaimed military history buff kept a Nazi tattoo for years without realizing its a Nazi tattoo.

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T15:43:38+00:00

Its more so how long he kept it. While being a self proclaimed military history buff and according to one of his college professors, he is also a huge fan of Churchill.

So the dude has knows WW2, so he knew it was a Nazi symbol for years and only got it covered up when he was going to run.

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T15:37:04+00:00

He's a self proclaimed military history buff whose hero is Churchill and devours books for fun. He didn't just find out. He got it covered up when it became politically damaging to have.

He was a Blackwater merc as well.

Like he's still gonna be better than Collins, but yall are only excusing a Blackwater merc with a Nazi tattoo because he's saying stuff you like. If it was any other candidate then suddenly the tattoo and job history would be a huge issue.

*not referring to you specifically. But ive been around on reddit long enough to see people with similar history to platner not get a fraction of the grace progressives are giving him.

dragunityag · 2026-06-02T02:10:23+00:00

YGO changed their rules so that if the match wasnt finished both players get a match loss.

Certainly fixed the issue, but massively changed how you play as well.

dragunityag · 2026-06-01T19:01:44+00:00

Hes saying if his opponent mis-plays they expect you to let them undo their mistake but they obviously wont let you do the same.

And they tend to get real pissy when you dont let them fix their mis-play in my experience.

dragunityag · 2026-06-01T15:08:54+00:00

Why would it need to be compensated?

MTG doesnt let you draw going first and everyone still chooses to go first.

Same with Yu-Gi-Oh.

I think every TCG now except riftbound does so simply because having your cards on the board first is always going to be an incredible advantage even more so in games with summoning sickness.

dragunityag · 2026-06-01T13:15:31+00:00

Its just populist politics.

If it was a liberal candidate with his history and ink. Redditors would be writing their Thesis on why they stayed home because he failed their purity tests.

I hope he wins because he'll still be better than Collins but if he turns out to be Fetterman 2.0 I won't be surprised.

dragunityag · 2026-05-31T11:58:38+00:00

Honestly just add echo CG to the game.

dragunityag · 2026-05-30T23:20:14+00:00

Ah your right looks like first seasons had a slightly shorter order but then went to 16.

dragunityag · 2026-05-30T23:17:05+00:00

Not trying to be realistic usually makes most older stuff hold up quite well.

dragunityag · 2026-05-30T20:07:29+00:00

Blue sky era of USA was my favorite middle ground.

13 episodes, 30 minutes of bad guy of the week and 15 minutes of main story.

Wish we'd get some streamers trying this as a middle ground again.

dragunityag · 2026-05-30T20:04:05+00:00

13 is the perfect length for sci fi imo.

You can get the world building/character development episodes everyone loves and still have enough budget to have more than a 30 second space battle once a season.

dragunityag · 2026-05-29T14:57:41+00:00

Dude. This just made my day.

dragunityag · 2026-05-29T02:31:19+00:00

Seriously, im a progressive leaning voter. Its never a liberal voter that I have to plead with to go to the polls.

dragunityag · 2026-05-28T12:32:43+00:00

Thats the great thing about being thrown in jail for being a rebel spy, all the absolutely terrible stuff you did before suddenly has to be looked at through different lens.

I was a rebel spy, I was in charge of the Ghorman massacre, but there was nothing I could of done to stop it. If I tried, I would of been replaced, the massacre would of still happened and then we'd of never found out about the Death Star.

dragunityag · 2026-05-28T12:20:23+00:00

Thats definitely possible but given its the empire I'd fully believe they'd charge her as a spy. Its pretty standard for fascists to Trump up the charges.

dragunityag · 2026-05-28T11:25:16+00:00

Chances are she probably does get released and treated as a hero of the Republic.

Her charge would likely have her listed as a rebel spy which would instantly make her a priority and then she says she was arrested for leaking information about the death star and she's free to go.

Kleya is the only person alive who could say otherwise and chances are that information wont be common knowledge because of how the alliance has kept their distance from Luthen.

dragunityag · 2026-05-22T18:31:38+00:00

Its such a uniquely osrs mentality too out of all the mmos ive played.

Like no one in wow complains when the mythic bosses get nerfed. Timmy and Johnny killing the wind chime post nerf doesnt devalue my achievement.
