"Wanted to have an adventure and kill some people. Joined up in ‘04, did Fallujah and Ramadi, and managed both. Hell of an excellent experience." <Quote source is a Pushpull reddit search source for p-hustle, which is/was his reddit username: LINK

Upvoting because Graham Platner is cool.

Mass murdering innocent civilians is cool?

[–] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not at all, that's why you should like candidates that don't support israel

And gleefully murdered women and children themselves without any remorse?

He protested the Iraq War before he enlisted in it. When I ask about the apparent contradiction, he shrugs: “I thought I could do some good. And I wanted to play soldier. I might have read too much Hemingway.”

Actually he said "I want to go on an adventure and kill people". Do some research before supporting maSS murderers.

So I opened this video and it was a different person and it was two hours long. Maybe you could give me a hint about when Graham Platner speaks in it?

[–] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also you are very literally posting hasbara here. Mossad specifically started a smear campaign against Platner because he opposes israel and made sure to leak shit about him that would piss off both the right and the left.

You fell for it hook like and fucking sinker. You've willingly become a fucking mossad bot. You put actual time and effort into doing israel's work for them and help them ensure they never lose an ounce of power or influence in the US. Are you stupid or just a psycho zionist who loves to murder Palestinian babies?

Go learn who John Fetterman is. Or Graham Platner for that matter.

[–] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe you should, he takes a ton of aipac money you'd love him :3

I genuinely can't imagine what it must be like being so bloodthirsty towards children in Gaza that you put this much effort into defending aipac, and I hope I never do

[–] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Tell me, who are you supporting then? Is it sometime who's takes aipac money? If so, then you support literal genocide to a much greater degree than anyone who likes Platner and you need to shut the fuck up about others supposedly supporting mass murder.

Seriously how the actual fuck do you have this much hate for someone who refuses to support Israel while saying all this dumb shit about his supporters? Would you rather your candidate support isntreali genocide in Gaza?

You being a zionist weirdo would make sense, you keep saying we support mass murder but every right wing accusation is a confession🤔

[–] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Cool mossadposting, now who do you support who's spoken out against the war? None? You just wanna call out Platner for "hypocrisy", and tear down candidates who don't take aipac money in favor of ones who do?

So i dont trust him. Nazi tattoos.

But you van do shitty things then decide those things were maybe wrong and should not have been done.

[–] tlekiteki@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He did explain it, apologize, and cover it up with a tattoo of a rat.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Show where he apologized for murdering those men women and children

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 days ago

When did he say he was wrong for mass murdering innocent civilians?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

OP always shits on the leftmost candidate in any race.

[–] chinaski@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

He is going to win. Cry about it.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 0 points 3 days ago

The wall papers say everything about his genocidal politics.
Fuck🖕 authoritarians.
