OptimalGraham Platner | Democrat for U.S. Senate
This guy with a nazi tattoo surely won’t pull a Fetterman.
Even Fetterman is better than Oz. Platner is orders of magnitude better on policy than Collins.
Is he though? Is he really? The man who full throttle supports massacring the entire Iranian government, who calls trans people mentally ill, who calls the left deranged, who supports ice, who refuses to even vote with his fellow liberals against any of the horrors bring perpetuated, is he better than the guy who does the same? Or is he just another in a long line of psychos?
This is true, yes. In many ways you could say Fetterman is worse in his betrayal to his constituency. But as far as anyone can argue, it took brain damage from a stroke to facilitate.
Oz being the victor would have been a direct blow to the organization network that got Fetterman in office, which was largely policy driven. (Fetterman ran on the 2020 DNC platform, which meant holding the DNC to their promises at the time.) Fetterman is loathed for his policy betrayal. There is no real cult of personality around him where he can Do No Wrong.
He is better mostly because him losing to Oz would have meant policy didn’t matter. And it does, which is particularly relevant for assessing Platner.
When you run candidates where they personally matter, and not their policies, you wind up in worse situations.
