Ok I'll cede that when you wrote "Graham" you might have been referencing the Senator from SC.
You still did it with the Nazi lover insult.
Maybe when there are two people under discussion with the same name, make sure to be clear which one you are referencing?

Strawman: mischaracterising someone's view to make it easier to attack.
You implied I didn't think it was a Nazi tattoo.
Reality: I know it's a Nazi tattoo. In fact it's worse. It's the SS Totenkopf worn by the guards at Auschwitz.
Something I've been pointing out to others for weeks.

And we all should be careful not to ascribe to others our own views.
I've seen plenty of Mainers say he can't beat Mills let alone Collins.
What we do have is data, and the only poll conducted after the tattoo news broke isn't good for him.

The only poll conducted after the controversies came to light - from SoCal - shows his support dropped significantly over less than a week.
From 34% ahead of Mills in the UNH poll beforehand to -5% behind afterwards.
He drops even further to -30% when voters are informed of the tattoo.

Something to keep in mind:
Roughly 0.5% of Americans made donations over $200 in 2016, a presidential year.
Those that do typically donate less than 1%.
Platners father's average donations of $4,600 per year puts him well into the 0.1% of Americans who donate over $2700.

Here is his campaign's first post on X.
"Working class Mainer".
He has now backpeddalled and calling himself "solidly middle class.
If you start your campaign with a lie, one so easily checked, what else is he willing to lie about?

Anecdotes don't count in elections.
Did you tell him it's not just a bad tattoo, but the actual SS insignia worn by the guards at Auschwitz?
And it's been reported he knew as early as 2012 what it was?
The polls show a huge drop in his support in less than a week.

So in this video he explains he got a year of free tuition at John Baptist, but never mentions getting help for his time at the much more expensive Hotchkiss where his mother actually wanted hin to go?

Thanks, I haven't dug deep into US electoral finances before.
I'm about to go through the spreadsheet file in detail now. I was just eyeballing it for that post.
There is quite a few amounts less than $200 listed though?

Has someone made an account for Peterson's suits?
I know he's ill with some fake mould thing (cough long covid), but there's so much material already out there...
