Her response: "I find it really shameful that there’s a group of media outlets and people who are willing to spread gossip,” she said in the informal, selfie-style video where she paced along a road. “No marriage is perfect, and I don’t want a perfect marriage, I want my marriage.”

    Good point.

    If you look at Ken Paxton and others in this election cycle, it’s actually pretty tame. They’ve been trying to swift boat Platner for a while, as of course, they can’t have someone with any real power who opposes billionaires.

          capitalism’s newest feature seems to be its ability to adopt a leftist veneer to prevent leftward movement like the democrats have done for the last half century; bernie still believes that isreal should exist and platner speaks fondly of killing on behalf of the epstein oligarchy – strongly suggesting that both still support furthering the international aims of the ruling class.

            Bernie’s also the reason why hundreds of thousands of Amazon and Disney workers got living wages, by refusing to accept that he was powerless even though he could be outvoted.

            Couldn’t care less about Platner’s shitposting.

            strongly suggesting that both still support furthering the international aims of the ruling class

            Absolutely absurd. If that were the case they wouldn’t have rigged primaries against Bernie and they certainly wouldn’t be drumming up scandals against Platner. They’d be pouring cash into his campaign instead.

              Remember, to the western “leftist”, murdering foreigners is just “shitposting”

        He is spreading the message to organize and unionize labor. Its the only way to stand up to the inherently organized capital.

          That’s really exciting. Could you share some of the ways he is doing that? I’m incredibly interested.

            By going to places where people live near each other and using a form of communication called “a speech”, he conveys information about how they can recognize and defeat Fascism.

              That’s deeply inspiring. Unfortunately, you’re hiding Platnerisms from us. Do right by him. I know it’s tempting to keep all the wonderful antifascist advice to yourself. How is he telling them to recognize & defeat it? This really makes the Nazi tattoo, slurs, & disregarding sexual assault in the military an afterthought, after all. Please continue, by all means. Does it perhaps include voting for him? Voting out fascism? Oh, what fun!

                  Well hopefully they take the Chuck Schumer endorsement seriously and stand behind him. ✊🏻 I wish you had elucidated more of the Platnerist antifascist strategy with us, but maybe it’s so genious-brained that it’s utterly beyond you to explain it. Thanks for sharing! Regardless of the specifics (if there are any, it remains to be seen), he will surely be as much of an ally to the working class as John Fetterman, which you all said the same things about a few years ago.

              he’s furthering fascism w/o realizing it – and worse yet – it’ll get worse because of his efforts.
