Platner is an unpleasant yob with the intellect of an undisciplined 13 year-old schoolboy. How can anyone take him seriously as a Senate candidate? His election, if it occurs, will say a lot about the Demmies’ morals and aspirations.

His election would reveal that a majority of the citizens who voted suffer from “suicidal empathy”.

You’re not a fan.

That’s only part of it. If Fetterman changed his views I might become a fan of him. But I’m also not a fan of being gaslit about Fetterman, which is what Zerohedge is doing, in my opinion.
