  • Hey I’m not saying there’s no good candidates:

    • Zohran Mamdani
    • Rashida Tlaib
    • Abdul el-Sayed

    And the list goes on. People who have proved themselves by being - and most importantly acting progressively - through their entire career. All I’m saying is that Plattner has not really given us any reason to believe that he is actually on that list. In fact, we’ve seen guys like him before, such as Fetterman, and we all know how that turned out. And there were people defending Fetterman just as rabidly as they’re defending Plattner today.

    When the guy that acted like a chud in the past turns out to act like a chud in the future as well, don’t come crying to me, because all I’ll have for you is an atodaso. A fucking atodaso.


  • So I feel like “taking things at face value” is exactly what went wrong with the previous bait and switch candidates. And I’ve yet to see something concrete and actual which distinguishes Plattner from them. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words, and I haven’t seen any progressive actions.

    Seeing the amount of mental acrobatics performed in this thread to justify his background, I’m pretty sure some cosmic entity is polishing off the “fell for it again” awards somewhere. People are calling his mother owning multiple businesses, his dad being a prominent lawyer, donating 50k to politicians a regular background. Like holy moly.
