@aziz0nomics I can't believe Chuck Schumer is allowing this. He should lose his majority leader position.

If you're at a political rally, and a Nazi shows up at your political rally, and is welcomed to the political rally by the leadership, you are now at a Nazi rally.

Nazi Tattoo? Hamas Defender? No Problem, Says Chuck Schumer realclearpolitics.com/articles/2026/…

@SouthernKeeks The dude got a tattoo and he isn't cowering in fear at woke lunatics. Pipe down lady.

“Graham is a Nazi, but he’s our Nazi.”
Drew Savicki@DrewSav
Graham Planter sucks but he's the nominee so I support him

@Legal_Fil We are moving on from Israel First. If Israel is your number one policy priority, it's clear which party represents you. Holding critical views of Israeli policies towards Palestinians isn't anti-Semitic. We send a lot of aid and weapons to Israel, so it's our responsibility too.
English
So we are just ignoring that the fact guy with a Nazi tattoo has recent said that he enjoys a bunch of antisemitic podcasters?
At a time where the Democratic Party is being swamped by a tide of antisemitism?
Is that not enough of an upshot for you?

What is the upshot of the Platner tattoo discourse? Let's say I find his story fishy. I'm supposed to worry that this seemingly left-wing guy supported by all the left-wing people is secretly a Nazi just pretending to be a progressive populist?
English
@TaritaC It's not on the candidate to run a good race and win. It's on the voters to do the right thing. Do you see how fucking stupid that is?
English
In 2016 leftists decided their resentment over Bernie Sanders' loss meant more than all of our civil and human rights.
So here we are today.
English
@estherzelda0514 Nobody thinks he's a Nazi. This angle you are pushing where the leftists are the real Nazis is stupid.
English
If you think progressive and populist messaging cannot be put forth by Nazis you really, really have a very poor understanding of the rise of the Third Reich.
The National Socialist German Workers' Party's platform was full of anti-capitalist rhetoric, promised widespread social welfare, and appealed to the working class to position itself against the Weimar elites.

@Ok_Solly This guy wouldn't be posting this if Platner wanted to keep selling Israel weapons.

He has victims. It will all come out. There’s not enough eggs for the faces of Democrats who support him.

Semafor: Republicans plan “all-out assault” on Platner’s candidacy in Maine “Janet Mills, Maine’s Democratic governor, didn’t have the money to fully prosecute her case against Graham Platner in the state’s Senate race. Republicans do — and it’s going to get ugly, fast.” “Senate Republicans’ primary super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund, has reserved $42 million in fall ads. A sister nonprofit group, One Nation, is running a suite of ads now totaling $18 million.” semafor.com/article/04/30/…

@NateBlanchett There’s nothing wrong with the best candidate winning.

So disappointing. You betrayed the people who stood up for you and your family, especially your wonderful son, Gus.

I’ll be in Portland tomorrow with @grahamformaine to kick off his campaign to retire Susan Collins. Let’s go win this thing.

Got to hell, Tim. Black voters didnt stand up for you so that you could turn around and support a man who pathetically tries to pretend ignorance to his nazi tattoos.

@reesetheone1 But you did shit on the Muslim community of Dearborn! Why one but not the other fella? 🤔
English
If I lived in Maine I would sit the fuck out.
I’m not gonna shit on the democratic Jewish community who’s upset about this.
LGBTQ for Dems@LGBTQPete
If I lived in Maine I would vote for Platner over Collins & I hope he beats her. The concerns people have are not because of an algorithm. His background and behaviors are concerning. Instead of dismissing it, his supporters need to explain why he’s still better than Collins.

@WonderKing82 Imagine being afraid that someone’s trying to change your loser party.
English
There's absolutely no system thats forcing you to become a Democrat. You can literally run third party. You dont have to associate with the Democrat party. The only reason why you're choosing to a Democrat is because you need funds, voter registration & media outlet. Stop the bs
English
@Veggietableh @trouble_man90 You have to wonder about his intentions right? His priority seems to be implanting racial animosity into the discourse.
English
@trouble_man90 Tim, do you want to flip a Republican seat to the Dems or not?
English
Graham Platner is the ultimate example of identity politics. He has zero experience and several giant blaring red flags, but he he has a certain aesthetic that leftists and white liberals are going absolutely feral over nowadays. They were willing to fight us to the death over this Nazi, let em have it guess 😂😂
English
@trouble_man90 At least you’re not hiding the fact that for you, it’s about race.
English
@AppleCandycioa @BookerGWash They can’t accept it so they’re just gonna blame the voters.
English
@BookerGWash Almost as if he’s not a Nazi and you’re far too stubborn to admit you’re stupid?

Fighting ICE in Minnesota but stumping for a Nazi in Maine is so crazy.

@monalisa_sapers Facts because it's becoming more & more obvious everyday. We (Blacks & Jews) have been through this before. We're survivors. That's why they fear us. The only way they will understand is when they fail without us 🤷🏿♀️

If I wanted to support and participate in a party that centered white male grievance, I'd be a Republican.
Black and Jewish friends, we really need to discuss where we go from here.
English
@monalisa_sapers Israel must be your only issue if you honestly think Republicans will represent your views better.

@AmanitaFugax Her problem was that she was very woke and she didn’t give working-class people much hope that she would work for them.
English
It feels like beating a dead horse at this point, but people viewed Harris as too liberal. This is borne out in data repeatedly.
This place is an echo chamber that reinforces the idea that Harris wasn’t sufficiently left wing.
@adammanross.bsky.social@adammanross
Al Gore lost in 2000 as a centrist. John Kerry lost in 2004 as a centrist. Hillary lost in 2016 as a centrist. Kamala lost 2024 as a centrist. If we’re going to win the 2026 midterms, we must abandon centrism all together. If the Democratic Party is to survive we must go left
English
@shannonrwatts This is why Platner is going to win. He's not doing the idpol woke bullshit, but he is talking about how the powerful have run this country into ground.
English
Platner used the slur r*tard in an interview last week. Seems like just yesterday we were all upset about the GOP’s cruel remarks about Walz’s son during the Dem convention.
