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

the problem is no one can really know what his stance is because it's not beneath a person to lie to gain power. seems too risky and an easy way to end up with another Sinema/Fetterman type that blocks votes while claiming to be a Democrat/Progressive. i don't think now is the time to take chances and they need to find a better candidate to run while there still some time, because even if he's telling the truth this will be a non-starter for many voters.

That's a good point and a valid concern. I know I'll be doing more research into him and seeing what he has to say. I'll also look into his record of the work he's done in his hometown, if he's in local town government there will be public documents and meeting minutes that show how he handles governance.
