"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

honestly im not forgiving anyone who supported him. i live close to an american base and they basically confirmed some of the servicemen there were involved in raping local women and they were allowed to leave the country and evade any consequences. there is no accountability at all for any soldiers in this nations military for what they do abroad.

When this is the way Platner acts in the US, to other white people, I can only imagine what he felt emboldened to do against the Iraqi women he terrorized. But to most Americans, all is forgiven if you are a veteran.

Correct. I have no respect for "leftists" who still lick the troops' boots. Planter is the norm, not an aberration

I hope I never have to hear Graham Platner speak again. Unfortunately, his campaign has proven the extent to which a candidate can get away with having an absolutely terrible background and still get support by posing as a "progressive". The white supremacist American Socdems are going to want more from where this came from.

Yeah, unfortunately they show no sign of learning any lessons.

The Dems are going to appoint a loser to take over the race, proving that nobody is going to learn anything from this.

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

Does that mean they're skipping the primary for that race?

I think donors (and the CIA) are secretly funneling the money to the DSAs right now, because something something populism and AOC in 2028, which will be even more painful than the DNC.

I still can't believe the war criminal with the nazi tattoo turned out to be a bad person!

He was only supposed to rape brown people in other countries.

Not piker who says someone with zionist tendencies shouldn't be a local dog catcher also being a chauvinist who defends and helps get elected a soldier worse than the average IDF member. Shame of him for acting like an anti-imperialist. He's teaching these moronic parasocial fans that american exceptionalism is fine as long as you say you hate Trump and oligarchy. Some of these people want to still support Platner, something that good chunk of reddit liberals won't do.

With him and mamdani the caucasian left really showed their fangs.

Happy to contribute to his destruction
