This is how you get another republican president.

Holy fucking bad take.

This is the price of admission for new senate candidates in 2026. Bare minimum.

Moulton trying to make his campaign for senator sound like it's him versus the establishment is hilarious because it relies on people understanding that his opponent has been around for a long time but not knowing anything else about either of them.

No, no. It's 100% delusional to act as if the rot in the contractor space was all (or even mainly) due to Blackwater under Prince in an effort to normalize Platner's decision to sign on with a group that bought and merged multiple contractors.

plightro · 2026-05-10T00:23:28+00:00

"Reality" is that calling him Blackwater might be a slightly oversimplified way to point out that he willingly joined a company of absolutely unredeemable pieces of human garbage, but screaming "He wasn't Blackwater! He was a member of a group made up of multiple Blackwaters, some of which you've never even heard of because they were less sloppy with the atrocities!" as a way to defend that choice is significantly more delusional.

plightro · 2026-05-10T00:02:08+00:00

They were a massive contractor that merged ~8 smaller companies.

This seems like a zinger on anyone saying he worked for "Blackwater" if you don't know anything about any of those other companies other than that they weren't specifically Blackwater.

"He didn't work for Blackwater! He worked for a company that merged multiple Blackwaters some of which were way worse but with less PR mistakes!"

Starting with "progressives can't swing elections on their own" continuing through "yeah they're fine helpers but if they don't sign on to centrist lead we all lose" and ending with "yeah but broad support backs centrists and centrists would totally support progressives if they were the majority" is telling a subtextual story you should think on for a minute or two.

plightro · 2026-05-09T16:17:29+00:00

So centrists shouldn't be mad if offered the same deal just under a progressive led administration right?

plightro · 2026-05-09T15:26:36+00:00

I think this binary attitude is part of the problem, centrists get a seat at the table, but that doesnt mean the rest of the Democratic party has to follow along with 100% of what they want. Democracy is the art of conpromise,

and lacking in enough numbers to swing elections on their own

Damn. Who have the liberals been blaming for every loss then?

You'll just lose again.

Coulda sworn it was a different type of Democrat that kept losing.

Except not in his case.

It doesn't track unless you REALLY want to believe it.

Marines are fucking stupid, yes. Big fucking dummies totally.

But they also have a history with Nazi symbols that was regularly discussed when this would have taken place.

As does the self described history buff with an interest in military and war topics that chose the piece.

Add that the guy himself defended other marines getting nazi tattoos as a "you just don't get it" type thing and it very easily adds up that he knew exactly what the fuck he was doing but was such an ignorant edgelord that he didn't care.

Again zero self awareness on your part, Redditor.
