I'm talking about the various political commentators who couldn't stop glazing the guy, not his campaign, but fine - stupid and compromised.
No, like, now all those political commentators just took a hit to their reputations. This made them look stupid, too.
A nice pretty rake was set out in front of them and then they all lined up to step on it, one after another.
What was the point?
I commented this else where but I really think it is just electoralism brainworms where you always have to vote for someone and in this case on paper Platner's policies were what they wanted to see over the other person. Since its only about the election and the policies to these people, they are forced to ignore the glaring issues with Platner because the election is happening anyway, someone has to run, and the only other person was a zionist. they have an extremely myopic worldview where they need to win as many seats as possible to prove socialism is good or something and so anyone who says "yeah sure I'm a socialist" is automatically their candidate over someone not saying that.
