    You never know the guy personally, so there’s always risk. But Platner and his wife have been honestly adressing all allegations. I’d rather take my chances with someone that supports all the right policies than with someone “safe” that doesn’t.

      … he honestly addressed the nazi tattoo? Cause I saw a politician’s response to that, rather than an honest response.

      Listen, people being skeptical about the Blackrock Mercenary with the now-covered nazi tattoo that can speak pretty sounds like a pretty reasonable stance to take

        Nah, man. I’m saying the character of a person is relevant to their candidacy. There are lots of great progressive and DSA endorsed candidates this cycle. Platner doesn’t need to be the guy that every one circles around
