In October, various news outlets reported on past Reddit posts by Platner between 2013 and 2021 in which he called himself a "communist", declared that "all" cops are "bastards", and agreed with a post describing White people as "racist and stupid". In a 2013 Reddit discussion about anti-rape underwear, Platner commented that people worried about assault should "take some responsibility for themselves and not get so fucked up they wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to". He also referenced political violence in multiple posts; in 2018, he wrote: "Fight until you get tired of fighting with words and then fight with signs, and fists, and guns if need be." Platner also said that "an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice" and urged readers to "Get Armed, Get Organized. The Other Side Sure As Hell Is."

Slightly based ngl (well the rape take is pretty terrible).

You haven't learned shit from Obama and Joe Biden.

I'm aware of his leftist-narrative lip service, but no; I want to see his anti-imperalism reciepts.

Lets see him donate all the blood money he earned from his 6-time service in the shame invasion of Iraq. Also lets see him blow the whistle on all war crimes he whitnessed and/or participated in with blackwater.

Stop spreading disinformation and actively trying to prevent a positive change in my state. Do you even live here? Why are you so intent on using lies to smear Platner? What is your objective? If it's hoping somebody even better than Graham shows up, you're absolutely delusional. My guess is that you're scared of an actual progressive gaining office and are spreading lies to discredit him so a conservative can win the office.

Also, if reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, he was a Marine in 2005. He didn't work for Constellis until 2018, and then for only 6 months.
