    The guy with 5 separate compact tours who was deployed in the same cities and time of Blackwater documented war crimes of killings and rapings in Ramadi and Faillujah, and kept rejoinging the same ill-trained war-criminal military contrator for 13 years of US imperalism invovlment in third-world countries that left them in poverty and ruins ?? Wait, he also has histroy of sexual assault allegations, rape and racist comments, and a nazi tattoo??

    Edit: it turned out he only joined blackwater after they were rebranded as Constellis due to their war crime convictions. he also apologized for his rape and racist comments after people found out about them. and about the tattoos he said it was from anime or whatever but it’s not nazi symbol. He is still proud of his 5 compact tours of shame US invasions over the period of 13 years though as if he can’t stop reminiscing about the memories of seeing brown people killed.

    Imo, he is conciousless af, and ready to lie and adapt to tell you whatever you want to hear, and he’s so eager to be in position of power… So it all checks out; he is perfect for the job of a conciousless lip-service politician with values open for sale to the highest bidder.

      some corrections

      it was one tour with blackwater, after four tours with the military, and i don’t think there were sexual assault allegations against him (were there? he did post reddit comments blaming women in the military for their assaults…).

        Really hard to tell with politicians, the whole game is to seem like a good person to as many voters as possible. You only find out once they don’t need voters anymore.

          Ok, well I’ll take that over politicians now that don’t even bother to lie. Democrats nowadays don’t lie and cater to the Right.

          At least Obama ran on a campaign of change while fucking us all in the ass. Politicians doing that though shift the Overton Window and change the permission structure for what you can and can’t say on a political campaign.

          Graham Platner will do his job in pushing the envelope, and other progressives will follow suit.
