Vote blue no matter who folks, Platner kicks ass. If he did anything illegal there are plenty of lawyers who would file charges. He’s not a person in power like the Epstein pedophiles.

If this is all they have are smear articles, a week before the election, I call bullshit.

If the articles actually address his policy positions, then let’s have that debate.

In a society where most women expect men to make the first move in a potential relationship, some women are going to be creeped out because we are all human.

I don’t buy it. I don’t care about a skull and crossbones tattoo that a marine got. That’s a fucking joke.

And if he assaulted anyone, that can play out in court. Just like the rapist Trump and many others.

However, Platner still kicks ass.

This is a tweet.

Three women who dated him were creeped out when he sexted them? So the fuck what. Did he break any laws? No.

Continuing to support bourgeois parties will never result in proletarian emancipation. Supporting a violent war criminal with Nazi tattoos is what voting blue no matter who has led to.

Alleged rapist vs confirmed rapist? I’ll choose the alleged for now, and work to replace him if/when confirmation occurs.

Better to organize in working class parties than continue to prop up bourgeois parties.

Sure, but right now, we need that seat. Letting the perfect be the enemy of the not-quite-as-shitty is what gets us the absolute shittiest.

The Democrats taking the seat is not "us" taking the seat, but a different faction of capitalists. I'm letting good be the enemy of horrible.
