Whatever comes out about Platner, never think for a second that his detractors "called it" or "had the right feeling about him." They were operating on motivated reasoning based on their hatred of populism in general and Bernie Sanders in particular since moment one.
The entire American left of center has had their credibility with Israelis collapse because we're so sheltered and privileged that we simply cannot comprehend actual security concerns and armed conflict
@SJWheeljack Which is particularly hilarious because "the left don't hate the GOP enough to support the Dems opposing them" is your whole shtick.

It's true that I had my "why I left the Left" moment a while back, but it wasn't due to the usual grifter "grievances" about wokeness, gender and DEI (love those).
It was because the Left simply does not hate Republicans enough.
@souljagoyteller Bingo. And if people just said "Yeah, I don't support him" for that reason, totally understandable.
But that's not enough. It's not bad enough that he's a mess of a human being, he has to be a misogynistic crypto-Nazi recruited by the left to infiltrate the Democratic Party.
@wideofthepost What I find really fascinating is the focus on the "lying." Personally, I do think he is lying about knowing what it was, and just kept it because he thought it was cool.
My God, a lying politician! Shock horror!
