He protested the Iraq War before he enlisted in it. When I ask about the apparent contradiction, he shrugs: “I thought I could do some good. And I wanted to play soldier. I might have read too much Hemingway.”

Actually he said "I want to go on an adventure and kill people". Do some research before supporting maSS murderers.

So I opened this video and it was a different person and it was two hours long. Maybe you could give me a hint about when Graham Platner speaks in it?

Also you are very literally posting hasbara here. Mossad specifically started a smear campaign against Platner because he opposes israel and made sure to leak shit about him that would piss off both the right and the left.

You fell for it hook like and fucking sinker. You've willingly become a fucking mossad bot. You put actual time and effort into doing israel's work for them and help them ensure they never lose an ounce of power or influence in the US. Are you stupid or just a psycho zionist who loves to murder Palestinian babies?

Go learn who John Fetterman is. Or Graham Platner for that matter.

Maybe you should, he takes a ton of aipac money you'd love him :3

I genuinely can't imagine what it must be like being so bloodthirsty towards children in Gaza that you put this much effort into defending aipac, and I hope I never do

Tell me, who are you supporting then? Is it sometime who takes aipac money? If so, then you support literal genocide to a much greater degree than anyone who likes Platner and you need to shut the fuck up about others supposedly supporting mass murder.

Seriously how the actual fuck do you have this much hate for someone who refuses to support Israel while saying all this dumb shit about his supporters? Would you rather your candidate support isntreali genocide in Gaza?

You being a zionist weirdo would make sense, you keep saying we support mass murder but every right wing accusation is a confession🤔
