I’m all for giving people second chances and empathy and shit.

Doesn't sound like it

But I’m not blind to the fact that the only time people really want me to forgive someone it’s when Nazi tattoo white boy wants to run for senate for the supposedly non-Nazi party.

How COULD you be blind to something you made up yourself?

Seriously, this is the kind of thing that, if you guys had not descended into a tribalism death spiral, would have been an instant political career ender.

On the contrary. This is the kind of thing that only became an issue at all because of a smear campaign by the Neoliberal party propaganda machine, leaving out important details and making up details that were never true. Just like you're doing right now.

And here is the tribalism death spiral at work.

You guys used to stand for something. And it sure as fuck wasn’t “Nazi tattoos are ok if they are on my guy”
