Yes. Because the best way to get ahead in the US in 2025 is to be a secret Nazi not a completely out in the open Nazi 🙄

"Let's plant a nazi in the Democratic party, we could probably sneak one through in a weird small state like Maine" would be far from the worst idea they've ever had.

Betting that “vote for the most bipartisan Senator in Congress over the guy with a Nazi tattoo” won’t work on the normies that don’t follow politics is a hell of a gamble.

Not saying he can’t be the candidate, but you better have irrefutable evidence that he can overcome “do you really want to vote for Hitler??!?” commercials during every college football commercial break next year.

Have you ever been to Maine? It’s like a colder, less classy version of the Florida panhandle.

You might be in a bit of a pickle if you have to do this much explaining.

Maybe if the DNC were capable of anything, this wouldn’t be happening.

The last few pages are why I have zero faith democrats will ever form a viable opposition.

Why do you think “guy with a totenkopf tattoo” can be part of a viable opposition to Nazis?

Same reason that middle America thinks that a failed NY businessman who lives in gilded palaces represents the working man.

Because this fucking timeline.  There are no fucking rules anymore.

The totenkopf tattoo. I feel like I’ve been pretty clear about this.

Leaving aside the somewhat marginal Nazi-ness of the totenkopf, did you think Al Franken should resign for simulating “tune-in Tokyo”?

As I said, a totenkopf tattoo doesn't even move the needle for me on a jarhead from that era. If the dude had sig runes and a history of Nazi beliefs then I would say no way, but this is mildly annoying at best.

I thought it was pretty weak but didn't really have a huge problem with the party trying to draw a strict line against harassing women. Do you think his replacement has been bad at the job?

ETA: and it's not somewhat marginally nazi, it's what their fucking death camp guards wore. It's arguably more offensive than the swastika. Trying to downplay it is some heinous shit man.

We're not debating the symbol here. We're debating whether Platner is a secret Nazi.

This is not a Secret Nazi

I get it, you're all fucking fried by the nazis winning again, especially Bozo. But they didn't win because everyone likes nazis now. They won because most people didn't believe they're nazis. There's a reason GOP senators are still folding when guys who are too publicly nazi are proposed for senate-confirmed positions, and it's that most people still hate obvious nazi shit.  Running a guy with a fucking nazi death camp tattoo won't increase the chances of winning a coin flip election against Susan Collins. This isn't "we should run the safest candidate," it's simply "this guy ain't fuckin it." He's going to continue to have more embarrassing shit like this come out, because he's at best a huge dumbass with no impulse control. And nominating him would be like if the GOP nominated a pro-abortion candidate: it would destroy the party. It's a big tent right now and we need to make room for a ton of people, but "no nazis allowed" is the party's whole fucking deal right now.

Counterpoint: nazis and racism and religious hatred have been normalized more in the last 9 months than in the previous 50 years.  They are no longer a problem, they are mainstream and ordinary now.

I am as shocked an appalled as anyone that this is where we are.  But look around you.  This is indeed where we are.

Win.  Win at all costs.  It is the only imperative.  If you don't win, then you can't even slow down the fascists.

If that's true then you have nothing to worry about.

Several people are trying to tell you that this is 100% not the case but you just don't want to hear it.

I didn't say it's more known, I said it's arguably more offensive. Men wearing that fucking symbol gassed some of my family, I'm pretty sure I've got the right to feel that way.

I mean, you have the right to feel however you want regardless, everyone does. But the point I'm trying to relate is there's a lot of people who have sported these who are in no way even Nazi adjacent. There is literally no one with a swastika tattoo you can say that about. And given this dude doesn't have any history of spouting Nazi talking points I have no issue with him just getting it covered now.

Small, but I'd argue very important, addendum to your post.

With the exception of maybe one person, I don't think anyone in here actually thinks he's a Nazi.  I am worried about the types of things that easily sway the low-informed voter.  Nazi tattoos are, traditionally, pretty high on that list.  And I know you recognize as well as anyone that the average voter holds Democratic candidates to a different standard than Republican ones.

And to be clear, I am absolutely certain he would make a better Senator than anyone else being discussed.  This has nothing to do with that.  As you said, it's about winning.
