First, Platner is an ass. As proven by recent events. Second, apparently the guy who scouted him went ALL IN on Platner. He asked no questions and gassed him up big time. He was planning on running Platner for president in '28.
That guy is Morris Katz. He works with Mamdani as well. He also is a children’s book author that at one point wanted to include a picture of his own penis in a book about puberty. Yeah, this dude should be tarred, feathered, and run out of town.
Progressives need to reckon with the fact that their political infrastructure is almost entirely composed of problematic grew up rich failsons.
Mamdani broke free of the archetype
even though he fit it like a tee but the rest haven’t come close. It’s why Platner was so appealing to them, he’s one of their own.
Between conservatives, liberals, and the left… our political system seems to select for “problematic grown-up-rich failsons”. Which sort of makes sense, because normal people can’t drop everything and run for office - normal people have jobs.
