Pictured: opinion of the least racist Democrat
When did he say this?
From the screenshot, looks like he said it on Aug 20, 2014, at 3:25 pm
The “progressive wing” of the controlled opposition branch of the single-party US state, trying to push a literal former abu ghraib (the US torture camp in Iraq) prison guard as a candidate.
All these muslim-murderers should be in prison for their crimes.
During an “active” (in public minds at least) genocide of Palestinians as well.
Why can’t you believe the guy had a nazi tattoo until last week and volunteered to spent years murdering undesirables completely changed his mind in a very convenient, opportunitic moment.
If you think about it, the real Holocaust is not believing white supremacists
Seeing a lot of anger in this thread, why not just let the voters fall for it again?
I can’t think of a better pick to go along with Zohran the Zionist and the other electoral dead ends.
Maybe the peak irony of not only having someone who showed their colors pre-election but is a war criminal nazi will help disillusion folks from voting in bourgeois elections.
Zohran the zionist? I can’t even begin to fathom how you can believe that, he’s a New York mayoral front runner who, considering he has no impact on Israel has been outspoken in calling the state genocidal, and speaking for the Palestinian people.
Life won’t get any better if you are not willing to ally with the leftest, most anti Zionist politician in the West. There are people who want free healthcare and lower cost of living who voted for Trump, the left needs to come together somehow, seriously.
Zohran already walked back his promise to jail Netanyahu. Condemned Hamas. He will probably do nothing materially against Israel maybe get DNC imperialists their free bus treat.
oh hey thats on the ghislaine maxwell subreddit
?
Hey, you ever read about the annihilation - sorry, rehabilitation of Americans by the Euro settlers? The ones they called Indian because their complexion is similar to folk from a certain other, already colonised land? This screams ‘you’re uncivilised and savages if you don’t look, talk and quack like us’

Fuck this smear campaign. I’d fight alongside a

His shame…
We have lost shame in our politics. Anyone who admits to faults, owns up to them, and expresses shame for past transgressions is a good person.
I want more people like him who feel it’s better to publically own up to his shortcommings rather than unabashedly double down like we’ve seen from both the Dems and GOP in the last 25 years.
We cannot continue without remorse. We cannot heal without forgiveness. We cannot save ourselves so divided.
Sure, but the guy pretended he didn’t know it was offensive or alt right. Sorry, disengenousness gets you nowhere.
He’s still doing a hell of a lot more to atone and, again, not shy away from his past than any neoliberal I’ve seen to date. If we push away everyone without a perfect social rap, we’re going to be so fucking outnumbered when the time comes.
No show me where he said “I regret going to the middle east to kill brown people”
Why did this post get deleted? It wasn’t offensive, uncivil or bigoted.
To form an echo chamber, of course.
Edit: they won’t delete the quote of course, which shows the original message without the quote given from the article.
Because a group of people who furiously agree with each other never made problems for anyone.
Careful… Big Brother might hear you.
Oh wow can you show me those posts where he regrets killing subhuman brown people? Surely Jacobin isn’t making it all up.
There are screenshots in the article of more recent posts he made.
Plus we got all the shit he’s said about how he feels about his past here: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/maine-democratic-senate-candidate-regrets-deleted-internet-posts/story?id=126636744
And: https://x.com/grahamformaine/status/1979312580490596829
In that Twitter video he says he is incredibly proud of who he has become by massacring all those innocent Iraqi civilians.
Not hearing any regret
You gotta be trolling. I’m not responding to you at this point, but posting for anyone who reads that comment without watching the video.
In the video he appologizes multiple times, condemns both wars he fought in, and says he regrets what he said and did in the past. He says his journey made him who he is today, and he’s proud of who he is today.
P.S. In the Jacobin article is a screenshot of a post where he explicity condemns mistreatment/violence against innocents and civilians by the military.
You can respond if you like. I’m disengaging and will not reply.
Edit: I’m not defending a dem. I don’t like the liberals. I don’t necessarily believe Platner is a good guy, but this comment is misinformation and purity politics at its worst.
What timestamp in the video? Mine is 3:50
Geneva_Convenience is part of an Establishment Democrat smear campaign against the first real progressive my state has seen. I was banned for “trolling” in my attempts to highlight and correct his deliberate disinformation. Take everything you read by this user with a heavy grain of salt, and in relation to this issue in particular, DM me at [email protected] for a link to Grahams entire reddit archive, not just this tankie’s cherry picked items chosen deliberately to cast Graham in a bad light.
If the guy who loved murdering brown people so much that he went on 3 tours in USA murdermachine and then signed on to one of the worst mercenary setup and had big totenkopf tattooed is counting as “the first real progressive” in your state then where do you live? Literal fucking hell?
JoeBigelow back from being banned for “trolling” because I refuse to let deliberate disinformation being pushed by the Democratic Party Establishment from continuing to be pushed by Geneva_Convenience.
It’s really something that .ml is so in bed with establishment Democrats that my attempt to fight an obvious smear campaign resulted in a ban for “trolling”.
And if you look through the modlog, check the number of accounts banned for simple being “unwelcome”. This is an echo chamber, and anybody calling it anything else is ignorant, willfully so or otherwise.
Stay out of my States politics please and thank you.
Troll attempt is shit
Nazis belong in pit
Of course it’s Geneva_Convenience
Dude has a serious hard on for repeating establishment Dem talking points regarding a state he doesn’t live in and cannot vote in.
I love they apparently know you but think you’re pro dnc? 😂😂😂😂
I hecking love Joe Biden. Vote Blue no matter who!
I’m a citizen of Maine that is very likely going to vote for Platner despite your desperate attempts to silence me refuting you deliberately spreading disinformation, part of a smear campaign led by Chuck Schumer. You don’t live here, why are you spending so much time online trying to make a progressive candidate out to be a secret Nazi? You’re purposefully occluding all of the context around what you’re attempting to smear Platner with, and for the life of me, I cannot understand why. What is your investment? Are you worried he’s going to “Fetterer” and turn once he’s elected? Can you please elucidate exactly why you’re putting so much effort into making him out to be something he isn’t?
Very unserious
Have you lived their way of life? How can one have an opinion so firm for something they have never experienced? Bring a slave to capitalism is t all it’s cracked up to be you know. They talk a good talk but rarely do they follow through on those promises.

Based on everything I have seen, he has remorse, as well as disgust for US foreign policy and his role in it.
he has remorse, as well as disgust for US foreign policy and his role in it.
You mean he claims he does.
He’s had three tours in Iraq and actually went back willingly with Blackrock and said he enjoyed small wars, that he enjoyed infantry combat; when he was firing mortar into a heavily urban area and told to stop, he switched to something that couldn’t be detected so he wouldn’t be stopped; he would’ve continued using the mortars but didn’t because they would’ve been detected the military. Does he actually have remorse for what he’s done? We can disagree on that, but obviously you and I agree that he should not be allowed within a mile of political office with all this, right?
Literal Nazis were appointed in leadership roles in NATO; they claimed they were forced to serve, and perhaps they were telling the truth, but obviously we can agree that people with such backgrounds shouldn’t be allowed near any kind of political office, right?
Would you trust a former member of ISIS for example when he says he’s got remorse for what he’s done as well as disgust for ISIS foreign (and domestic) policy? Perhaps he’s telling the truth, but would you trust them in a political position? Remember, Platner has literally admitted to committing war crimes; he is literally no different than a member of ISIS.
but obviously we can agree that people with such backgrounds shouldn’t be allowed near any kind of political office, right?
You don’t believe he has changed enough to be trusted.
I do. I have personally met him and talked with him. I believe that he’s sincere about what his current views and values are.
He seems like a flawed, real person with a bad past; the US military chewed him up and spat him out like it does to most servicepeople. None the less, he is responsible for doing a lot of awful things and I’m not going to argue or downplay those. But, becoming disillusioned with the US government can really change a person.
You think someone who about 10 years ago was blase about killing around a million muslims deserves to be in your government? After your party elected Fetterman? Literally fuck off with this. It must be easy for people like you to think this because he didn’t say that about your family. That is quite literally my family he is talking about. I knew America and Americans were evil but holy fuck you just reinforced this for me. Nobody in my government has ever said that it would be ok to kill a million people, that is insane.
Based on everything I have seen, he does not have either of those things.

Look, if you want a monkey to dance for you, go to the zoo.
Okay so you are lying and I wasted my time. Thanks for confirming.
Tagging you as Schumer Mouthpiece
