IDK, sometimes a hunch is all you can go by. I don’t follow Hasan or any other political streamers, i’m not American, i can’t judge how the discourse about Platner really plays out aside from Hexbear threads that have the predictable mix of 99% “he’s a war criminal nazi, ofc he’s also a domestic abuser” and 1% totally unhinged “we must do a lesser evilism or the zionists win, you wokescolds”.

What i can say is that this guy’s entire biography was a giant PR disaster waiting to happen, especially if you run him on any leftist platform. It seems the US has a massive demand for politicians who offer the mildest social democratic policies imaginable and look as if Walter White and Shrek had a baby and now the baby is all grown up and drinks too much and has had a run-in with gas station stimulants that went for a bit too long, so i see why people would bank their hopes on this guy, but the slightest bit of vetting should have made it clear that this campaign was a minefield and it doesn’t seem as if Fight Agency was actually prepared for that.
