DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Yeah aliens would have totally messed up the greats such as CS Lewis
Oh, wait, CS Lewis wrote a whole trilogy on the concept? Never mind.

This would not "mess up" even a single Christian.
The existence of life on other planets would do nothing to disprove the Bible, and Christians understand that all things are possible with God.
However, I can see how this WOULD "mess up" a lot of secular humanists, because they can't conceive of anything greater than humanity.

Video: Steven Spielberg says his new movie, Disclosure Day, about aliens will have Christians and people of faith second-guessing their own religion.
Spielberg says the movie will take the position of the Church.
"Is God our God only on this planet, or is God a God for every system where there's civilization?"
"That would mess up a lot of people."

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Hello Mr. Platner,   
Ratio.
That's it. That's the whole rebuttal.   
You are someone who, by the virtue of his Reddit posts, manages to be simultaneously a filthy-literal-Communist and anti-Semite. That in itself is an egregious sin, because literal, card-carrying Communists are fundamentally at odds with America's norms.   
But if that weren't enough, you have voluminous Reddit posts defending the Nazi Totenkopf symbol. You clearly knew the tattoo you got and you defended it publicly. There's no either/or way about it.   
Scum attracts scum. Which is why you can comfortably swim in both literal-Communist and literal-antisemitic far-right circles.   
I am no fan of Sue Collins. But the fact you are running against her, that you have even the smallest chance of defeating her -- 
you, as someone who is a self-admitted Communist, someone who has Nazi sympathies -- not to mention all the horrific, personal-life stuff --   
You are the worst candidate in history, right AND left. You are the authoritarian evil that every "democracy" group speaks about, yet they will hypocritically not say a word against because they believe that being anti-Trump is more important than allying with Communists or Nazis.   
You are not "populist." On the contrary: 
You are the perfected example of how liberal democracy has rotted so far that they'd rather stay silent about you, hoping you'll win against the most moderate Republican in the Senate, than to hand Trump the possibility of retaining the Senate.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Platner is a self-declared Communist/DSA guy with a Nazi tattoo who's also RT'd far-right anti-semitic accounts. 
"Nazi" is technically sloppy in precision, true, but like @bullfrog35 said, this is arguably the first horseshoe candidate.

The GOP’s “Graham Platner is Hitler” bit has made me root against the GOP in an election that’s otherwise pretty consequential. I wish I didn’t feel this way but it’s just too embarrassing to associate with.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - How is this different than piling on someone getting a hammer & sickle tattoo as being a Marxist?

If you knew political messaging, you’d know calling people hasn’t worked a single time since 2016.
But yea, keep talking about his tattoos — that’ll resonate with voters.
