https://youtu.be/vpyuSfRoCbo did you try checking his campaign page?

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.

What lies and slander? You're calling the truth lies now?

Since you're too scared to watch the video, here's what you missed:

Platner wants to revitalize the military and expand personnel recruitment.

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.
