AFTER this brouhaha, which may be driven by the same right-wing coalition that is trying to do character assassination of Mamdani, Mainers back Plattner over Mills 58 - 24.
It is obvious I am not the one with the agenda here. Mainers are taking the same attitude I am. I am sure they all want to take a close look at Plattner, and it is doing him a service to get this stuff vetted early. I have not seen any evidence that he has demonstrated any Nazi sympathies or behavior, and like 99% of the public, I would not have associated that tattoo with anything more than regular old skull and crossbones.
There are people who are very threatened by politicians who have the courage to talk about a society that is not run by the fantastically wealthy, fantastically corrupt few. And they are undoubtedly using some of their loose pocket change to try to do a character assassination of the people who do speak up.
I note that Bernie is Jewish and he has continued to support Plattner. I suggest you give some thought to why you are so passionate about attacking others who are just trying to understand the situation on a factual, objective basis.
