What do you think of Platner and will he bring new life into the democratic party or be a second Fetterman? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'd say cautiously optimistic, hadnt seen the tattoo stuff before but doesn't look too bad, on surface reading of articles I could believe he legit didn't realize it looked like a Nazi thing, especially having taken it though army screening.

Honestly if anything some of the reddit posts that were found make me like him more and believe he might be an actual progressive

The Reddit posts were taken out of context. He was reiterating what another poster had said so he wasn't the one to bring it up initially.

Was he just quoting them or was he advocating for them? I haven't seen the reddit stuff yet. Any links you've read?
