Surprise: Nazi Communist Who Is Sexually Aroused by Feces Also Sexts Women Other Than His Wife

Shane Goldmacher
@ShaneGoldmacher
Ms. McDonald said Ms. Gertner told her that her husband had been exchanging sexual messages with as many as a dozen women.
A current Platner campaign official said Mr. Platner had been communicating with up to six women.

So this is what he meant by Oyster Farming.

Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate looking to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, exchanged sexual texts with several women after marrying his wife two years ago, according to a report.
Platner's campaign confirmed the text exchanges to Politico following a report from the Wall Street Journal that claimed his wife, Amy Gertner, told a campaign aide about the texts after he launched his senate bid as they began looking into potential political liabilities.
Gertner discovered the messages months after the couple married in 2024, the WSJ reported.
She made the private revelation before Platner held a campaign rally last year supported by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., but the aide decided the texts were a private matter for the couple, the campaign said, according to the newspaper.
Gertner said in a statement to the Journal: "I confided deeply personal details about my marriage to someone I considered a friend. In the months since, I have had to watch as she spread malicious gossip to anyone who would take her call. I trusted this person with the most private chapter of our lives -- the early days of our marriage before any campaign was on our mind -- and I am deeply hurt by her betrayal and the invasion of our privacy."

This report said she told a "campaign aide," so 1, this was well into the contemplation of a campaign and 2, the information wasn't shared "with a friend," but with a campaign aide for purposes of protecting the campaign.

Also -- what would it matter that he was unfaithful before any campaign was on his mind? Is this the Area Code theory of infidelity, applied to campaigns?

She added that she and her husband: "Did the hard work that marriage requires. We went to counseling. We were honest with each other in ways that weren't easy. And we came through it, not in spite of how much we've been through, but because of how much we love each other and the life we've built. Our marriage today is stronger than ever before."

He's a deadbeat living off you and your mother and, as many deadbeat men do, is trolling for sleazy women in a vain effort to boost his rightly-fragile ego.

Platner, an oyster farmer and veteran who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, has also faced a number of controversies before this, including a since-removed tattoo that resembled a Nazi symbol, and past controversial comments on Reddit minimizing sexual assault and making crude remarks about masturbation and a deleted post where he claimed a wounded soldier "didn't deserve to live."

Hello, sorry for the lateness, went out too late for my walk and then went to the market. Not really an excuse.

Crow update: Yesterday the crows saw me getting coffee and squawked and cawed until I gave them some snacks. I think the whole pack of crows has been alerted because a lot more are flying around, although just the male and female couple are actually landing to eat.

When I was out at the market I got kettlecorn for the crows. A significant amount of my life now consists of guessing what crows might like to eat.

The main answer is "cheese." They love it.

=======

Primary is June 9, next Tuesday.

There is still another candidate (David Collins), and Mills, the governor, is still on the ballot though she suspended her campaign.

However, he was winning in polls by like 30-50 points after the Nazi tattoo came out. He's most likely not going to lose the primary.

The Maine Democrat Party's only hope is to convince him to drop out. They can do that before the primary or afterwards. There's a Maine state law that allows parties to replace candidates until about mid-July.

Is Platner the kind of guy who feels like he's gonna drop out because people tell him to? They couldn't keep him off KIK after telling him it was used for sexual predation of children.

26 Wonder if they will replace Platner or they think this is a winning candidate ?

IIRC, unless he agrees to step down, and before July 9 (?), there isn't much they can do. Mills would be the obvious replacement.

After this, I have to imagine the national party is writing off the race completely.

There's no way they come back from their frontrunner having this many issues (with more to come, I'm sure), even if they Biden him and put up their uninspiring alternate who couldn't muster enough support to even make it to the primary.

A lot of bad blood will be spilled in that instance.

Just make the best of it. Fundraise off of him through Act Blue and then send those funds to North Carolina to help Cooper.

Replacing him with dishwater dull Mills will cause them to sit out in spite.

There was a poll of the Maine senate race last week.

It showed Platner winning.

What people ignored was that the indy vote (which makes up 40% of the electorate in Maine) shifted 14 points towards Collins since the last poll.

And Platner's lead was pretty much the same in both.

Wife was watching some tiktok video the other day of the "this couldn't be made today" variety.

It was an old SNL skit with Chevy Chase and Richard Prior.

They were throwing racial slurs at each other.

Chase said "spear chucker" to which Prior replied "honkey!"

Chase followed up with "n****r!"

"DEAD honkey!"

Reportedly, in his 2003 senior yearbook at John Bapst Memorial High School (no, not the Catholic school) in Bangor, Maine, his classmates voted him "Most Likely to Start a Revolution".

In his yearbook photo, he holds a sign reading "Free Kosovo Chechnya Kashmir Palestine Kurdistan Tibet"

Platner protested at the Bangor International Airport in 2002, and was removed by the Secret Service while heckling President George W. Bush ("w") about the looming Iraq War.

Yet, in 2005, he joins the US Marines and where does he go?

And once getting out of the US Marines, he bartends & goes to school - like AOC - but gets bored or something & joins the Maryland National Guard to serve a tour in Afghanistan.

Black turnout will be down at least 10% because of the primary where the black candidate lost (happens all the time in Dem primaries vs. generals where the black candidate loses).

I ask the same question regarding Talarico in Texas--or for that matter, Kamala Harris in toto when it comes to the presidency.

155 r/DemocraticSocialism (7 months ago)

Why is this subreddit so obsessed with Platner? He did some horrible things. He served four Iraq tours and very likely killed innocent people. He was a mercenary for Blackwater. And of course, the Nazi tattoo.

The obsession is coming from the fascists and liberals who, as always, obsessively seek to crush any gains of the left. Many naive people (and some liberal simps) here are buying into it.

He ran security for an ambassador for 6 months and left. these people think if you say backwater enough times they’ll burn the image of graham choking out a 4 year old in the dead of night with a pmc patch on.

Perfect is the enemy of the good. I will always vote on policies and removing fascist from office. There is no better candidate. And genuinely he's a near ideal general election candidate in Maine.

Nobody is swooning, we're defending him against idiots/plants like you. Actual Nazis don't tend to apologize and cover up their Nazi stuff.

Purity tests for you. Purity tests for you! PURITY TESTS FOR EVERYONE!!!

163 Ms. McDonald said Ms. Gertner told her that her husband had been exchanging sexual messages with as many as a dozen women.

A current Platner campaign official said Mr. Platner had been communicating with up to six women.
——-

‘Up to six’? Wtf does that mean? It’s easy enough to know the exact number. Even The Paolo knows exactly how many 100s of women he’s sexting.

Imagine who these ladies are — assuming they are real ladies and not rocking gangling dicks in their pants — that they’re intentionally sexting with this degenerate homosexual creep.

The Democrat establishment has spent every year since the rise of Obama ceding more ground to radicals.

From allowing the Obama administration to do outright illegal things (like Fast and Furious) without even rhetorical admonition to the rise of the Squad who get used to fundraise and never actually squashed to the embrace of Islamists to actual structural changes like weakening super delegates in the presidential primary process, the establishment has willingly given more and more power to the insane left of several ilks all while needing to push out the normal white population in order to appease the new additions.

So, the establishment is trying to pretend it's the part of the 90s while the party of today is screaming about how borders are illegal, Jews are the devil, and all MAGA needs to be put in camps.

They tanked him because he was going against the structure while using their mailing lists to fundraise for himself without their permission.

241 I can see this, and have seen it in the Republican party. A candidate that represents the extreme of the party is gaining traction, so the Establishment let's them win the primary, tanks their chances in the general election, and then uses that as leverage in future elections to push a "moderate."

Dems switching out candidates at the last minute was perfectly demonstrated in the Torricelli-Lautenberg switcheroo in the 2002 New Jersey Senate race.

Toricelli, the incumbent, was unelectable and the GOP candidate, Forrester (?) had a good chance of grabbing the seat, so the Dems begged Lautenberg to run. He agreed, and Torricelli got the heave-ho. Lautenberg won the seat.

245 The Maine Democrat Party's only hope is to convince him to drop out. They can do that before the primary or afterwards. There's a Maine state law that allows parties to replace candidates until about mid-July.

Is Platner the kind of guy who feels like he's gonna drop out because people tell him to? They couldn't keep him off KIK after telling him it was used for sexual predation of children.

I don't think so. I've been giving it some meta thought, and realized that when I first read about the potential gambit, its appeal was rooted in Normalcy Bias. But Platner is *not* normal; he appears to actually fulfill the Left's fantasy stereotype of soldiers as psychopaths.

I think he's as likely to kill whoever the Party sends to pressure him, smear himself with their blood, and dance around a bonfire hooting and hollering while shaking their decapitated heads like maracas, as he is to comply and drop out on demand.

246 Has anyone seen a crow at a bird feeder? The ones around here ignore the feeders and leave them to the other birds.

250 We have 2 crows that hog the bird bath. One played with a fallen blue bird feeder cap for 15 minutes. We read they like hard boiled eggs so put one out. Still in shell. We'll see.

252 I think we need to be quiet. Don't reveal anything about Platner until after the primary. Gov. Mills is still on the ballot. If Democrats force him to drop out the Dems can replace him with another candidate by July 13th.

253 It's increasingly clear why Democrats can assume (lie to themselves)all of the terrible shit they claim about Trump when they literally live the life they accuse him of living.

255 Joel Mowbray
@joelmowbray
The brains — and enforcer — behind Graham Platner is
@katz_morris, Zohran Mamdani's media guru.

Katz is the new David Axelrod, who mentors him.

And the Pod Save bros love Katz.

AFTER Katz publicly savaged a female former staffer, he got
@jonfavs to write a now-viral tweet defending Platner.

Obama's former media guru did Katz's bidding after Axelrod's protégé tweeted, "There should be no place in our politics for incompetent, opportunistic operatives who violate privacy, betray trust, and prioritize vengeance over decency."

This morning, it came out that Katz had threatened Platner's former campaign manager, Genevieve McDonald, with a smear campaign before the WSJ story published.

Since the revelation of Katz's threat, Jon Favreau has been silent.

Also silent has been Katz's mentor and close friend, David Axelrod.

So when you see the closing of ranks behind the Nazi-tattooed misogynist, just remember it's literally a protégé of Obama's media team using brute force to make that happen.

Welcome to the Democratic Party of 2026.

256 Perfect is the enemy of the good. I will always vote on policies and removing fascist from office. There is no better candidate. And genuinely he's a near ideal general election candidate in Maine.

For those not keeping up. The "fascist" is the chick without the Nazi tattoo.

And it's funny hearing people invert the wisdom of "Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good" demonstrate how much of a purist ideologue they are by thinking it's a good thing to reverse it.

This is probably why there will never be any "socialism done right" in anybody's time, because it will be at least one person's idea of "wrong" and "imperfect".
