It's happening in real time.
Graham Platner.
Watch how, DAILY, the chorus grows about how this guy is suspect, and how the establishment democrats extend no good will his way.
The TATTOO: skull, crossbones. If you showed me a pic of the image, I would not have known, prior to this becoming an issue, that is was associated with nazism. I used to fly kites as a kid that were black with a white skull and bones. I have seen skulls and bones, in various configurations, in pirate movies, cartoons, and elsewhere.
Why is it so unbelievable that he didn't realize the image had nazi roots? I wouldn't have known. This is being played up by the media, because the establishment democrats
DO NOT WANT PROGRESSIVES TO HOLD POWER. They DO NOT WANT ANYONE WHO DOES NOT TOW THE PARTY LINE TO HOLD POWER.
You would be surprised how many of the so called left independent media is basically a bunch of hacks who say all the appropriate bullshit, like supporting trans rights and the lgbt crowd in general.
But they DO NOT touch the third rail, which is opposition to Israel, which is the position of the overwhelming majority of Americans.
They are telling us he is suspect. Like Sockeye tuna marked down to $1.99 lb; has to be tainted.
They did a similar thing to Biden. Many pundits, inlcuding the most PROMINENT progressive talk show host in the country, parroted the doubt sown by George Clooney and others regarding Biden's fitness for office. Now, these same pundits are railing against the current guy, but CONVENIENTLY FAIL TO MENTION the fact that they were instrumental in turning public opinion against the former president.
What I have learned as a non white American over 50 is this:
Just because someone claims to be"liberal" does NOT mean he has YOUR best interest in mind.
Know that you are being given a CURATED choice of candidates, even in the democratic party.
That is all.
Cheers.
