so is platner going to walk back what he's said about israel like mamdani did or does he understand you can just lie?

Besides being a mass murderer of brown people Platner was also cheating on his wife. Truly a reliable guy who will keep his word.

Libs will be like “wow you really want Susan Collins to win don’t you” (I have no idea who Susan Collins is)

i could not care less about infidelity in the context of american politics.

I care about him being a fascist US military cuck, loves it, brags about killing brown people for fun and adventure, and having a Nazi tattoo for like 20 years. I think he’s a bad guy with a faux leftist coat of paint.

yup. sexting on top of all that is nothing. it's even adult women not the pedo cabal and i'm supposed to care that the blackwater guy stepped out on his wife? the clinton blowjob scandal is old enough to rent a car

Infidelity says something about trustworthiness. And liars.

It mostly says something about the material conditions of a person that is within a society that forces monogamy which severely punishes those that aren't.

I just don't think it really adds to the argument. If someone walked like a Nazi, shot like a Nazi, wore Nazi tattoos, then claims to be a leftist while not working with any left orgs or using their current platform to create class consciousness, they're already failing to take the most basic steps. Why add anything more? It's adding a weak argument to a strong one, making it easier to dismiss.
