The poll shows that 58% of likely Democratic primary voters favor Platner. Janet Mills, Maine's two-term governor, who was recruited by national party leaders, was polling at just 24%. None of the other candidates in the crowded field received more than 1%.
You know who fucking loves it when the left refuses to accept someone over past mistakes? The right fucking loves it. Bring evidence that he’s lying about not knowing it was a Nazi symbol, or that he’s lying about his current positions, or fuck off.
This guy is like peak imperialist. Stupid tattoo aside, I don’t think numerous voluntary combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and working for Blackwater are “mistakes”.
Of the people in my life, some of the ones who have served in the military are the most disillusioned with the establishment. Listening to him, he sounds burnt out with American Imperialism. I was watching his town hall last night, it’s worth hearing him talk about it.

Yeah, to me it appears unlikely that the guy would be working in blackwater and NOT know what Nazi symbology is. All his friends probably had it too.
I would love to hear his explanations and justifications for his past actions. If he is truly remorseful, then that’s one thing, but so far I have only really seen “I’m an innocent boy and didn’t know nuffin.”
