    Oh wow can you show me those posts where he regrets killing subhuman brown people? Surely Jacobin isn’t making it all up.

      There are screenshots in the article of more recent posts he made.

      Plus we got all the shit he’s said about how he feels about his past here: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/maine-democratic-senate-candidate-regrets-deleted-internet-posts/story?id=126636744

        That article is about him distancing himself from overly left wing things he said, not sure time as a fascist storm trooper

        In that Twitter video he says he is incredibly proud of who he has become by massacring all those innocent Iraqi civilians.

        Not hearing any regret

          You gotta be trolling. I’m not responding to you at this point, but posting for anyone who reads that comment without watching the video.

          In the video he appologizes multiple times, condemns both wars he fought in, and says he regrets what he said and did in the past. He says his journey made him who he is today, and he’s proud of who he is today.

          P.S. In the Jacobin article is a screenshot of a post where he explicity condemns mistreatment/violence against innocents and civilians by the military.

          You can respond if you like. I’m disengaging and will not reply.

          Edit: I’m not defending a dem. I don’t like the liberals. I don’t necessarily believe Platner is a good guy, but this comment is misinformation and purity politics at its worst.
