Listen, the Obama Bros are horrible people, but defending the Nazi Tattoo candidate is a new low even for them.
I can't remember the last time there was such a giant disconnect over a candidate between online (mostly BlueSky) Dems and Democratic voters.

And it's not like Maine voters don't know about the tattoo or other controversies -- Platner gets asked about it all the time. They just… https://t.co/hDHteNpO3u
Favrea says 'if he is a Nazi' ... the proof is in the pudding. He has a Nazi tattoo. If he was not a Nazi, why in the world would he have such a tattoo?
I'm pretty sure the nazi tattoo is why people are calling him a nazi. https://t.co/m5yJwpozbq

It would seem that would be the connection.

I think the effort to cancel Platner over tattoos or podcasts or whatever has basically backfired and people are actually ready for a less uptight Democratic Party.

I'd just like to see him extend that to some more flexible thinking about policy. https://t.co/nvqvFUAWJF
Apparently, Matty is fine with the Nazi tattoos and wants everyone to stop worrying about those and focus on policy ... um, ok.
I think it's ok to be "uptight" over Nazi tattoos, but whatever I guess. https://t.co/THRQjXyWj6

Apparently, Democrats think that platform will get them over the finish line.
I’m sorry! Were we too uptight about Nazis?! My goodness. Please excuse my uprightness. Let me just inform my ancestors. https://t.co/SbviYlHCEp

“People are actually ready for a less uptight Democratic Party” when you’re discussing the acceptability of having a candidate with a Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest is legitimately an insane thing to say.

I can’t even wrap my head around where the discourse is at now. https://t.co/xQWw6Y5GEw
The bar is in hell for the Democratic Party apparently.
“Less uptight” doesn’t include hand waving away Nazi tattoos, racist tropes, hanging with other neo-Nazis, and suggesting women who are sexually assaulted deserved it.

Dude has ZERO political experience, was raised with a silver spoon, and thinks he should be US Senator. NO https://t.co/pP27MMzXSk
Oh, he wore an anti-fascist shirt to cover his fascist tattoo? Oh that's great then! https://t.co/NJNCbI1KmZ pic.twitter.com/G59NiplYj5

Jon, why do you only have a problem with nazis and people who hang out with nazis when they’re Republicans? https://t.co/38vRQr0NXx pic.twitter.com/DxVOlhwNXv

When they are 'Jon's Nazi's', they are different, you see. His Nazis are the preferable kind, apparently.
