Ryan Grim is full of crap for that "slightly right coded" weasel bullshyt. That's a weak-willed "racially charged" level of minimization.
The show in question isn't "slightly right coded." The channel uses Norse symbolism in its name (Vahalla VFT). Norse mythology isn't inherently right-wing, but you can't ignore how extremists/Nazis have co-opted it. Looking at some of the comments under the channel's videos tells me they are more than simply "right coded" in the audience they fostered. The history of spreading Jewish conspiracy theories, among other odious views (DEI/woke whining, anti-Black racism) should tell you the same. He's a white nationalist.
People really need to stop playing these games. There's a stark difference between going on a "slightly right coded" podcast where the conflict is tax, healthcare or economic policy, and one promoting odious conspiracy theories. The cost of normalizing a show like that outweighs any benefits you think you might get from it. People aren't being hysterical for pointing this all out.
I mean, Neera Tanden is definitely an opportunist taking advantage to attack a political enemy. But still, you can't ignore the pattern here with Platner. He played stupid about a Nazi tattoo, he was retweeting Stew Peters, and this ppearance on a racist, white nationalist podcast.
Look at this. Come on now. This is indefensible.

He's close to someone like Joe Rogan to me its definitely a right leaning podcast, I wouldn't listen to it but whats the argument here you dont go to audiences and make your cases because ? Now if you went to these arenas and capitulated to their racist or right coded views I'd agree. I actually think Dems should pull up to right wing shows and son them, not on some Gavin newsome bs
Eh I disagree, dems go on a bunch of right coded podcast where the discussion isn’t healthcare or actual policy discussion, the problem at least the problem i have is when they go to these arenas and agree completely with the host or hostess like Gavin Newsom.
He's a solider all this should be expected, their views are right coded they believe in the dei bs, snap benefits etc. this is all shyt you hear on Joe Rogan who people wanted kamala to go too. If the argument is that dems shouldn't appear on things that aren't to the left, we can make that case I'm all for itI mean, Neera Tanden is definitely an opportunist taking advantage to attack a political enemy.

Meanwhile tandem retweeting nick fuentes and cosigning all types of white supremacist

Decoupling America from the Zionist state should be the number one priority. If Platner is willing to support that cause then he should be supported in the primary despite his checkered past
I saw a comment today if Platner did a seig heil. Ryan Grim would find a way to explain it away. These people have hitched on to him and the receipts will be long when he becomes another progressive darling to progress policy delaying anti dem vote.Ryan Grim is full of crap for that "slightly right coded" weasel bullshyt.

Of course they will all pretend that they didn't back him. Just like with fetterman. Because at the end of the day their audience is still filled with the American electorate who have gold fish brains.

You can't be serious. The argument is you don't go on racist platforms, especially when there is a clear pattern of you making overtures to right-wing extremists and Nazis.
Do you think it's okay to go on David Duke's sundown hour, just as long as you're not "capitulating" to their views, even though you're normalizing them by going on there?
And stop with the "right coded" shyt. We're not going to use that mealy-mouthed euphemism to sanitize content that is actually racist and conspiratorial. If you think it makes sense to go on a show like that, then what's the threshold?
And my father is a veteran. It is not expected for their views to be racist.
I don't know why you're quoting that tweet at me like I didn't already address Neera Tanden being a malicious opportunist acting in bad faith. Her actions have no bearing on mine.

You can make that your priority, but that doesn't mean you should be allying with fukking Nazis.

Do you consider Platner a Nazi?
I don’t think he’s a
Let’s just say he’s Lucky he’s in Maine because they don’t give two shyts about any of this
