Krystal GOES TO WAR Over Vile Graham Platner Smear Campaign
Graham Platner’s Tattoo Controversy Defines the Future of the Democratic Party
Analyze why defending imperfect, anti-establishment candidates like Graham Platner is essential for progressive politics. Discover how the left must prioritize policy substance over superficial scandals manufactured by the Democratic establishment.
Short Summary
- Reject the Democratic establishment’s use of superficial scandals, like a drunken tattoo, to purge non-centrist candidates.
- Classify policy failures (neoliberalism, supporting capital) as substantially greater threats than aesthetic "warts" on developing politicians.
- Defending messy, principled candidates like Platner grows, rather than depletes, collective progressive political power.
This discussion dissects the political calculus behind defending Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner following the revelation of an old Nazi-adjacent tattoo. The hosts argue this controversy is a crucial test for the Democratic base to force a meaningful anti-oligarch shift away from establishment safety.

Saagar's chortle when Krystal talked about her husband's Metallica tattoo was priceless.
You'll notice that the Platner revelations didn't come up until Janet Mills decided to run. Sounds like the DNC establishment is trying to 'clear the field' as they usually do. Remember that this party will campaign next fall as the Defenders of Our Democracy.
It was never a matter of principle. It was a tool to remove people you don't like.
2:29 Not Kyle with the unintentional Metallica tattoo 🤣💀
What makes this whole thing awkward is that it’s not a smear campaign. Platner really had an obvious Totenkopf tattoo and was either aware or so dumb he never found out for many years.
Platner's "growth" happened after he got caught - not after introspection.
Everyone remember Krystal losing her mind over Elon’s hand gesture?
I can’t help but enjoy Krystal’s blatant hypocrisy based on who she is covering. I remember her commentary on Hegseth’s tattoos and watch with shock her commentary on this matter.
Weird. Emma didnt say that about cenks college writings.
I thought skull and crossbones were for pirates.
