One thing the whole Platner situation reveals is that a whole lot of supposedly progressive pundits and politicians would have been much better served if they actually WERE ensconced in the supposed Bluesky bubble, 'cause everyone I know on here had this clown figured out from the get-go.

I'm assuming from this that Platner has given up the race. Or that his poll numbers are so far below Collins that he's as good as dead. Or... that centrist Dems that forgive Clinton for his Epstein friendship think Platner shouldn't sext when he is on the outs with his wife. That's a good one!

So, the score is: open and material support for genocide in Gaza: Platner 0, Collins all the way. Nazi tattoo: Collins zero, Platner all the way. Happy to see that the Bluesky bubble is all about the Nazi tattoo, and ignores the tasteless subject of 70000 plus dead Gazans.

Mmm… I’ve been talking the Platner situation since pretty early on and the response here in terms of shouting & vulgar cursing has almost reminded me of Twitter. A lot of very vocal Platner zealots here as well.

While I had blocked the people who couldn’t see the problem with the tattoo, now there’s a new crop astonished that a little domestic violence would be held against this promising young man.
