10. I believe his explanation

about the skull and crossbones tattoo he got in Serbia (?) with his fellow Marines who also got the same tattoo. When he saw people took offense, he had it obscured. He saw it as a badass tattoo, not a racists one.

He is antiwar because he has seen first hand how awful and stupid it is. He speaks about it so we all know.

In Maine, the choice was between an 80 year old (establishment choice) ex- governor, and Platner. Platner has lived a life most of us have not. He does have the courage to run for the end of the fascist movement in America. Very few are doing that even among our elected Democrats.
