Like working tirelessly to rebuild the US military.
I’m searching online for “platner rebuild military” to try to figure out what you’re talking about. I’m seeing two kids of articles: the first about how Platner worked to “rebuild” his life after returning from combat and struggling with alcohol use and PTSD, and the second about how he wants to “be a strong voice in the senate against military adventurism.” Says he wants to expand the War Powers Act to make it harder for the President to wage arbitrary wars and also wants to withdraw troops from the Middle East. So I’m still not sure what you’re talking about.

In the first minute of a YouTube video this isnt hard.
I’m not watching a BadEmpanada video. I’m reading the bit on Platner’s policy page now. It talks about dismantling the military industrial complex and reinvesting the massive, corrupt and unaccountable defense slush fund into industries like shipbuilding, which employ working people in Maine. This looks like you’re trying to find something to get upset about.
"I'm not waching a video which debunks my argument, I'm restating the argument which gets debunked at the start of the video so I can waste everybody's time by pretending to be ignorant".
I really need you to consider cui bono from spreading lies and slander about a candidate running for senate whose financial backing all comes from organized labor and whose platform is stopping weapons sales to Israel.
No reply. How cowardly.
Since you're too scared to watch the video, here's what you missed:
So, exactly what you're saying he isnt about. Congratulations on sponsoring an imperialist! The idea that he is a killing machine with Nazi symbology perfectly backs up this analysis.
What lies and slander? You're calling the truth lies now?
