TBH I did not know he was a Blackwater mercenary. News keeps calling him a Marine, which I don’t think is the same thing.
That would have been a dealbreaker for me, but then I’m not a Mainer and did not do much diligent research about him.

Okay but consider his pattern of violently impulsive bad behavior.
Violent. Impulsive. Electing him would put him in a room full of congressmen.

That’s the thing. I was introduced to Platner by campaign materials and friendly bios showing up in my feed. At most I heard of the tat and some online discourse from a long time ago. I didn’t know of his history of violence or his war crimes during his military service.
When it came to actually researching candidates, I was focusing on the ones we have here in California. And we too have our problematic ones.

No, I’m saying I want to out the violent impulsive war criminal in the middle of a room of congressmen. That is the most productive place for that guy to be.
Bonus points if he also votes to put trans rights or free healthcare in the constitution or whatever. That’s all fake shit that will never benefit me.
