Can you give a second example of them doing this?
For point #1: AIPAC Tracker - Zionist Grifter SCAMS Donors!
Basically, companies like AIPAC Tracker will selectively list whether a candidate is taking money from Non-AIPAC Zionist organizations like J-Street.
Idk about point 2 specifically, but Platner is very disgusting. He enjoyed his time providing security for soldiers comitting atrocities in Abu Ghraib. Had a blast killing Iraqi resistance and civilians in Ramallah. Came from a well-off family and joined the military looking for adventure. Despite college being paid for, he still went back to the military + mercenary work because that's where he finds excitement. Fantasized about raping his enemies not out of "sexual pleasure but domination" (or something like that). The list goes on...
I'm not defending Platner. He's a veteran that loved empire so much he became a fucking mercenary.
I'm just saying, this seems like a new tactic if it's intentional.
I see what you mean.
platner is the second one; hasan piker would have been the first if he hadn't done the same thing that greta thundberg did and spend too much time on palestine.
The fact that he spent so much time on Palestine is, I think, proof that he isn't a plant.
he would have been one, like platner is now, if he didn't piss off his handlers with too much attention to palestine, like thundberg did.
Or, the fact that he pissed them off indicates he doesn't have handlers.
You can tell someone has handlers by the fact that they never say anything to piss them off - when someone acts outside of those limits, we can surmise it's because they're acting on their own. There's literally no reason to believe he has handlers beyond your own cynicism.
thundberg very famously had handlers and she's just as out in the cold now as piker is now despite both being highly elevated by the dnc machine in the past.
Being elevated in the past isn't an indication of having handlers, it's just an indication of being useful at the time.
To be clear, are you saying that she had people telling her what to say and what not to say, before she said it? Because that's what a handler does.
