even it’s it isn’t true (doubt it, multiple women came out with similar allegations and evidence), he’s a fucking blackwater merc with nazi tattoos. so, Nazis are only bad when the other party has them? fucking blue MAGA idiots. no need to mince words, if you support him, or supported him at any point, you’re on the same level as MAGA

“For the movement to continue, it can’t be me,” he said. “For that reason, we are suspending campaign operations.” I>n the video, Platner stood by his assertion that the accusations are “not remotely true,” claiming they are driven by “large forces … working against [him] personally”. “This is all false,” Platner said of the allegations. “The things that have been claimed did not happen. It’s not real.” “I learned about this through press inquiries with no time to truly respond, no time for investigations before a corporate media system and the political establishment got to act as judge, jury and executioner,” he said. “Accusations are supposed to be the beginning of things, not the end.” Dude got Franklen’d… Second place in RCV lost by over 40%, and is 69 years old signing up for a fucking 6 year term. And wants to keep selling weapons to Israel: pressherald.com/…/janet-mills-says-she-opposes-at… So it makes no sense to give her the nomination, no time to democratically pick anyone else. All because this is what it takes to get Israel their representation in the American Senate. It fucking sucks that if he was half the piece of shit they’re making him out to be, he could have just stayed in the race.
