Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Even just a little thought would reveal how ridiculous your "understanding" is. MAGA is a contemporary aspect of the GOP, that is to say, it's disruptive to the Republican establishment, as we've seen. Therefore, why would Blue MAGA specifically refer to establishment Democrats specifically?
Blue MAGA refers to a tendency among Democrats to assert that we have to get rid of Trump and the Republican majority in order to make America great again. It asks people to ignore Nazi tattoos, duplicity, broken promises, and principles in favor of a theory of action that boils down to "vote blue no matter who and that'll fix it"
It has nothing to do with one's position specifically on Platner.
Blue MAGA doesn't refer to anything because it's a meaningless fucking term. Just stop.
I'm just telling you the reasons I've been called "Blue MAGA" on this site, and one of the reasons was because I questioned Platner's Nazi history. That literally happened.
Maybe you're the one who needs to think about it a little more... The Democratic party is not really keen on Platner (because of the purported socialism stuff, not the Nazi stuff). I said something along the lines of "I hope this guy doesn't turn out to be a Nazi" or something, and I was called blue MAGA because I was lumped in with "anti-Platner establishment Democrats".
But this was maybe before he became the presumptive Democratic candidate, so I guess now I'm only blue MAGA if I blindly support him as he DNC candidate?
Again, I'm not sure since the term is literally meaningless.
