    Because they were. They didn’t just become Democrats to run and reach the congress. They’d been for decades before.

    If you expect that anyone who reaches the Congress will stay un corrupted. When Congress is designed to corrupt. Yes you’re an easy mark. The Senate was designed from the bottom up with corruption in mind. That was it’s whole purpose. The house was hobbled over a century ago to be more easily controlled by the oligarchs and the wealthy. Corruption is the natural outcome. It’s a rare person that can avoid it.

    What I mean by why. Is exactly that. It wasn’t a riddle or cryptic in any way. If plattner is a nazi. Then why is the party that is the primary home for bigots and Nazis so adamantly attacking him for what they openly are. If plattner is a Nazi, then why are the worst parts of the democratic establishments attacking him. Since they commonly align themselves with the fascists and Nazis in the Republican Party? It’s not a rhetorical question, work it out.

    Plattner has absolutely said stupid toxic masculinity dude bro shit throughout his life. At the same time when confronted with it he’s genuinely shown an ability to understand, listen and learn. But yes I get that a tattoo is serious shit. It’s not like people getting drunk and getting random tattoos they don’t understand the meaning of or even remember is so common it’s a trope. (It is) it’s not like there’s tens to hundreds of different websites across the internet just displaying these and making fun of them. (There are) Hell I’ve got materials with a totenkoph on it that I’ve come to regret having after the fact. I need an apparent expert opinion. Am I a Nazi in secret even to myself?

    All kidding aside. If he’s so clearly a Nazi as so many people are trying to imply. Why can’t I find any evidence of it? Why hasn’t he taken for instance a single cent from AIPAC? Why is he opposing the genocide in Gaza, which far too many Democrats won’t even distance themselves from let alone call it out. Even Chuck Fucking Schumer, democrat leadership in Congress won’t condemn it. And has used his position to stop others from condemning it. Can you point out a single action he personally has taken that clearly marks him as a Nazi?

      Sinema was actually in the Green party before becoming a Democrat. There was a time where her being a Leftist was believable.

        Yes she worked on Ralph Nader’s campaign. But she had been in the Democratic party since 2004. The power and the influence 100% corrupted her

        I mean literally what I said. People get stupid shit tattooed on them drunk all the time. Platner is no different. If you’re going to accuse him of being a Nazi at least have more than just this one superficial thing. Let’s be real here someone from blaja I expect better of than purposefully misidentifying someone.

        Hegseth for instance has a particular tattoo on him. Which in isolation might mean nothing. But I can point to thousands of actions that hegseth has taken in his personal life. That clearly mark him as a Nazi and white supremacist.

        There are many justified valid criticisms of Platner. Isn’t it odd that this. This is all you cling to. Well not really odd. Highly suspicious. So focused on attacking him too. So you like Colins? Her enabling of warmongers, pedophiles, genocides, enemies of gays and trans. Is it that Platner has taken no money from AIPAC or similar groups? Is it that He’s against Israel’s genocide in Gaza? What is it really about tattoo man?

        I will commend you on this at least. After posting at me in another thread repeating this baseless accusation. And me calling you out on for not replying, just spamming trying to push an agenda. I honestly didn’t think you would. But if I did, this half formed wet fart of a “nu uhh” is what I would have expected.
