I have plenty of exposure. It is because I know the Republicans are vile that I do not want the opposing party to embrace Platner's views or demonstrate that red-brown chuddishness are not electoral liabilities.

Platner isn't running on a fascist agenda so I'm not sure where the red brown alliance comes from. He says LESS fascist stuff than many moderate Democrats lol

If Platner was coming out and saying "actually Trump is getting stuff right on trans people and immigrants" you'd have a point but he's not (unlike some moderate Dems)

1. He's a gun nut so don't count on him trying to stop kids from being killed in schools 2. Nazi tattoo for 20 years he continuously lied and continues to lie about.

Simple question: Do you think he’ll vote for a Democrat to be majority leader and thus make Democrats committee chairs?

Yes, but that's a pyrrhic victory. The lasting harm a Nazi (D) will do far outweighs any short term gains. The DNC is in debt and can't raise money. Every candidate is being asked about platner. The response to any Democrat who calls out Republican racism will be "yeah, well y'all elected a Nazi"

Not pyrrhic if we get to block lifetime SCOTUS appointments, actually.

You'll have a 2 year window to block SCOTUS and hope neither dies after that because we have more elections in 2 years. Only hope is structure court reform which requires a coalition you can't build with a Nazi in your ranks.

If you think Platner is a *literal* Nazi, waiting to show his true colors until the moment he wins, then I think your point is valid, just like someone who thought Harris was *literally* responsible for a genocide was perfectly within reason to withhold their vote for Harris.

Do you think Platner opposes Trump's immigration policies now because he's lying or because he's exclusively antisemitic?
