You don’t seem to understand how the dems work internally. There’s a “wait your turn” mentality; the org pressures candidates to influence the options. Platner didn’t bend to that which is why he stuck out in contrast to their pick (Mills). That’s why they went so hard against him; he wasn’t blessed by the establishment to run.

I was in favor of Platner through various controversies until now because most of them, including SA allegations, were largely unsubstantiated from questionable sources (like known gop operatives or est dems making mountains of molehills) and appeared to be manufactured. The most recent allegations are different, so my stance on him has changed.

He was the most progressive in the running because the rest kowtowed to chuck schumer and didn’t run. Blame the dems, just like the Biden<>Kamala fiasco; they’re addicted to losing; they would rather lose elections than lose control of the party.
