“No one, whether you’re trans or not, wants the federal government digging through your identifiable patient information and figuring out what they like and don’t like,” Hack said. “It’s an absolute overreach, and people are really scared.”
Asked whether Hack’s priorities were measures he could support, Platner agreed. “Yes, indeed. They most certainly do,” he said.
I think that it is okay to be entitled to wanting better representation than him. He’s definitely not perfect, not by a long shot, and there are certainly warning signs about him. You’re right in that people change. They can be better. He may very well be much better than he was, and he definitely looks like he is so far. But, his changing for the better doesn’t have to put him in a position of power, either. Because it is also entitlement that he wants to be Senator with the type of baggage he has. But, I can’t say there is currently a better candidate than him right now.
That’s the way I see it, anyway. I will hope he continues to be a progressive force, and that my doubts are unfounded!
