> I've probably had a dozen reddit accounts over the years. I would imagine that he did too. This sounds like you’re just reaching for something to keep the narrative going. Despite the tattoo, the dude does not come across as a Nazi. And his excuse for the tattoo sounds reasonable. I’m not too familiar with previous elections, but Collins has beat plenty of other democrats. Janet Mills seemed a pretty standard candidate. Platner was backed by Bernie Sanders. I honestly give that more weight than anything. Republicans can try their attack ads, but it didn’t work in the primaries. Going into the actual election, this will be old news.

I am responding to statement that his posts on reddit somehow prove that he isn't a nazi, which is an absurd claim to make about a person that made those posts with a totenkopf drawn on his chest. I am not sure what you are saying about "the primaries" but Platner is getting the party nomination without having to actually run in a primary. He is the only candidate from the party and will be on the ticket without a single person voting for him ahead of the election. Running unopposed candidates without a primary has worked out great for the DNC so far. But yeah, I guess we get to do the experiment to see if a weak republican can lose to a nazi and if that somehow results in things being better for us. Fun. I kinda thing the stakes are too high to be playing this game right now, but here we are.
