Well fuck, I was looking forward to democrats voting in a nazi on their "Vote blue no matter who!" trend.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/10/graham-platner-maine-senate-officially-withdraws

Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Maine, officially withdrew his candidacy on Friday afternoon, ending a campaign laden with scandals.

Maine’s secretary of state confirmed Platner had filed the paperwork to remove his name from the November ballot, two days after Platner publicly said he planned to exit the race.

In a letter shared on social media outlining the populist ideals that underlined his meteoric rise to the national political stage and drew widespread support in the state, Platner called for the movement built under his name to continue. He expressed gratitude to those who supported him, and called for “a new kind of politics”.

“People are desperate for change. For this broken system to be righted. For the American experiment to be furthered,” he wrote, noting the more than 156,000 votes he received in the 9 June primary. “My name may have been on the ballot, but that ballot line belongs to the people of Maine.”

Platner’s letter did not include a mention of the sexual assault allegations made against him this week, which led to his decision to suspend his candidacy. In an 11-minute video posted on Wednesday, he denied the allegations and said the Democratic establishment was “using these allegations to take away all of the things we need to run a campaign”.

Happy to disappoint. Thanks for that, it helps.

You betcha.

But seriously though, an SS tattoo? After all the shit you gave Hegseth for his stupid gay Deus Vult meme tattoo? And then you run a nazi communist, feminist rapist, who thinks it's not gay to rape other men to establish dominance? Holy fuck, dems are schizo.

If Platner was also a pedophile he'd be the perfect MIGA candidate.
Not as good as Ramaswamy, but pretty good.
>>
>>1523449
This. He'd probably still beat Collins if he just leaned into the Nazi rapist thing and put on a red hat.

Seriously, I'm glad he's dropping out. The fact that he's doing the ol' "I'm the real victim, here" nonsense like the DNC paid his former girlfriends (plural) to make up rape accusations against him just shows that he didn't have the character needed to be the candidate to start with.

>it's just a skull and bones tattoo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totenkopf
'Toten-Kopf translates literally to "Dead (one)'s Head", meaning exactly "dead person's head". Semantically, it refers to a skull, which in German is a Schädel. As a term, Totenkopf connotes the human skull as a symbol, typically one with crossed thigh bones as part of a grouping'
'In early modern sea warfare to early modern sea piracy, buccaneers and pirates used the Totenkopf as a pirate flag: a skull or other skeletal parts as a death threat and as a demand to hand over a ship. The symbol continues to be used by modern navies'
>US Navy's VF-103 squadron - known as the Jolly Rogers - use the skull & crossbones on their F-18 Hornets

No you stupid faggot, you're terrified of women so you handed the country to a senile conman who was a fucking moron at his absolute smartest. That was the worst possible candidate, and is why life has been so radically different now than under establishment dems.

Lucky for you, social dems are sweeping the nation, so we might be able to oust the tepid old guard, but the audacity to criticize dem candidates in the child raping glass house you live in is insane. If you're going to let a geriatric conman fuck your ass that hard, at least buy some curtains.

Moderate dems were like, wtf get this guy out of here. But retard leftists were like "NO GAIS IT'S FINE CAUSE HECKIN DRUMPF DOES IT TOO!!!1!" I swear I hate leftists so fucking much. We have to excise the cancer that is leftism from the Democratic party, otherwise we'll implode into obscurity, or maybe worse.

Oh everyone who hasn't seen it. Check it this clip of an interview of the guy who helped boost Graham Platner into the election: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QM-iuhVj_A

It's fucking hilarious watching rightards in /news/ seethe because the Democrats are winning since late 2025.

Hi, non-Democrat thus non-human that's imploding due to becoming irrelevant in just a few months from now. You're just like a manchild in UK whining because things aren't going his way - certainly not being allowed to be as corrupt as his orange buddy - thus is reduced to resigning. Perhaps - like him on August 14th - you should resign yourself to the fact that reality has a liberal bias, and doesn't care about you and your wrong opinions. It certainly won't care about Nigel's when Labour's Andy Basedham is Prime Minister, and the former's FaRAGE-ing as he - what's left of the right - implodes into obscurity.

The skull has been a symbol of death - certainly in art - for centuries. Memento Mori.
But at least the skull & crossbones represents the death of Nazism. Memento Mori: Remember that you must die. D-Day, followed by an inferior subhuman Austrian taking 7.65mm Aspirin in a hole in the ground made sure of that. Just as MAGA will die. Good

If the rapist were actually a Nazi, more people would have given a shit, but the dude was posting on reddit about how he wished fascists in South Africa would be executed.

We know why Hegseth got his tats and it wasn't because he was too drunk to recognize what they meant.
>>
>>1523675

Yeah it's fucking amazing how every single time I ask you retards for specifics, like why is Hegseth a nazi but Platner isn't, you have no answer other than 'he did something I don't like so bleh!'

With your repetitive use of that phrase elsewhere, others can say the same about you.
Rightards can never have any justifications for anything they say, do & think. That is the whole argument against them. And everything you say, do & think, lolcow of /news/. Rightards don't have the right to have any of their wrong opinions listened to purely because they're rightards: WWII made sure of that.
The general rule for others in /news/ who aren't rightards: when confronted by any & all of rightards' BS that never had the right to be listened to in the first place, simply say to them "When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you".
>>
>>1523677
Yeah leftists are retarded, and I don't know why they're still trying to defend Platner. Hell he should have been dropped months ago. They used to cancel people for a lot less than a Nazi tattoo, which is strange.

Also Hegseth is also retarded. Everyone just forgot about how he was like "eh shit happens" when 6 Americans died because Republicans wanted to fuck around in Iran.
>>
>>1523689
Retarded or not, that doesn't make Hegseth a nazi. Yet not only do we have this anon here
>>1523452
>Hegseth acts like a nazi. Platner doesn’t.
But I'm also looking at a news article from The Independent claiming his stupid Deus Vult tattoo is a dogwhistle for white supremacy.

So why the double standard? What has Hegseth done that equals nazi behavior, that doesn't apply to Platner?
>>
>>1523691
Yeah I dunno. You're going to have to ask leftists that. But Graham Platner being a Nazi Rapist doesn't excuse the behavior of Pete Hegseth.
>>
>>1523692
>But Graham Platner being a Nazi Rapist doesn't excuse the behavior of Pete Hegseth.
Never said it did. I think his tattoo is gay and his "department of war" changes are retarded. But nazi? No.

the way he hates nato i guess he's more of a bolshevik, you're right
>>
>>1523693
Leftists always told me
>If there's a table with 10 people, and one of them is a Nazi, you have 10 Nazis
What does that say of the man with a Nazi tattoo? By extension does that not make the man a Nazi? I going off of leftists own logic here.
>>
>>1523693
Oh I'm talking about Graham Platner here. I mistakenly thought you were talking about him. Yeah I don't think Hegseth is a Nazi, but I could see him falling in line with them if the situation arose.

>how can a skull & crossbones tattoo = nazi, when that symbol was around centuries before nazism existed
ftfy, 1523691
But of course, realizing that denies you of the right to say those you don't like are hypocrites.
Kegsbreath worships his orange Fuhrer, or he wouldn't.
He has no justification for speaking, acting & thinking the way he does. He could have simply behaved the same way as most other previous Secretaries of Defense, and reminded Trump "You said in your election campaign 'No more foreign wars'", and "Which way is the eagle in the presidential seal looking: towards: the arrows or the olive branch?" and "As the half-American Conservative PM you have a bust of in the Oval Office Winston Churchill said, 'Jaw-jaw, not war-war'", and "Republican POTUS Dwight D. Eisenhower could have ended the Cold War by starting WWIII against USSR: why didn't he?", also "Did the Democrat POTUS JFK actually start WWIII during the Cuban Missile Crisis, even though at one point he was just minutes away from ordering DefCon 1?"
But with the way he slavishly follows his orange Fuhrer's orders - 'I was only obeying orders' as per excuses used by certain... 'things' put on trial after WWII - Kegsbreath = Himmler, Goering & Goebbels
A skull & crossbones tattoo doesn't mean what you think it means. And if you think it does, it means you actually are what you think Platner is, and you're just projecting. A Secretary of War with a certain tattoo, and it's meaning? Come to your own conclusions, certain people in /news/. That which thinks otherwise = a hypocrite.
>>
>>1523498
Republicans get accused of rape, say it's not true, and keep going. Democrats get accused of rape, say it's not true, then drop out anyway. Weird thing to do if it's not true.

>the man with a Nazi tattoo?
Weird thing to say when it's not a fact.
>b-b-but Democrats are nazis because one of them has a skull & crossbones tattoo, because I say so!
If you can say that, therefore all Republicans, including Trump worshipers, especially their supporters outside & within /news/ are nazis. No Exceptions. And you don't have the right to deny you're a nazi, thus an inferior subhuman.
That's the price for so much as thinking that of a Democrat whose skull & crossbones tattoo is what you subjectively define it as. Them's the terms, they're not up for negotiation.
If a skull & crossbones tattoo someone has is what you subjectively think it is, you're a subhuman nazi. You don't have the right to deny it.
