If platner had a long track record of community organizing and working towards the things he has claimed on his platform? I would still not be able to say “Let’s support the rapist nazi” but I would at least understand the logic.
He has no political or leadership track record. He said a few things you want to hear and that is it.
What he DOES have a track record of is lying. Whether it be blatant lies about a “military history buff” reddit user having no idea what Mitchell and Webb’s totenkopf is or, ya know, all the rape?
So we have a wildcard candidate where the only thing we know about him is that he is a rapist nazi. MAYBE it is worth getting someone else on that ticket?

I don’t give two shits about Platner. I care about unseating Susan Collins. Platner seems to have the best chance at accomplishing that, as far as I can tell. Stopping, or at least slowing down, Trump is the ultimate goal. We know Susan Collins won’t do that. All her replacement needs to do is vote with Trump less than 90% of the time for it to be a significant win. If there’s a way to get there without Platner I’m all ears, but all I hear right now is talk of letting Republicans keep the seat and that seems like the worst case scenario to me.
