LOL. Solid point. I should be focused on a politician's reddit shitposting that they've publicly disavowed, not the fact that people can't afford to eat. You're comparing apples to oranges. Fetterman did not run as a progressive, and until a few months ago, running as a progressive made it harder to get elected and not easier. And the DNC is still publicly working against actual progressive candidates despite Mamdani's obvious success. Platner's going to turn some heads in a positive way. I just hope he helps open the door for other progressives to get elected, because centrist is a synonym for fascist now.

  • Fetterman absolutely did run as a progressive, pretending he didn't doesn't change what actually happened. And the DNC only works against ACTUAL progressives, not fake ones, which is why they supported Fetterman and is probably why they are supporting Platner.
