You know, I was cool on Platner until

Fetterman just came out and slammed him. Called him creepy or something. He was holding forth about him on CNN. I changed the channel before he compared him to Swalwell. You know, I'm beginning to think he's not a team player.

Fetterman's criticism is a positive for Platner in my book.

Edited to add the part about Swalwell above.

Now, don't that beat all?

Does anybody outside of MAGA world really care what John Fetterman thinks?

Fetterman opined on this situation. I guess no one is surprised by what he said.

Platner is campaigning on stopping the funding of Israel’s war of aggression

So fetterman hating platner is no surprise

I had the most removals and reports during Fetterman's primary run.

Instead, she blocked me. All I wanted was some credit.

Just wanted his backers to see we had two way better choices. Their only negatives were Bernie didn't endorse them and they wore suits.

who was a hard core progressive and John would not have won without, IMO. He might not have gotten the physical and mental health care he needed without her. So, how is she taking his anti-Dems "conversion?"

I admit to knowing little about PA politics, so maybe someone local can weigh in.

certainly didn't come across as apologetic there, but she didn't push back against the woman either. She had an odd smile on her face and walked away.

said his wife questioned the staff asking if he was getting bad advice but the staff told her the opposite was true that he was turning down good advice and making the bad decisions on his own.

I get that this is just a rumor without a link but a thread could be in the DU archives. Just trying to answer your question.

His judgement is worthless, even as a reverse barometer.

This has no bearing on Platner.

This just goes to show how bad his judgment really is. For him to comment AGAINST a fellow Democrat on a public forum is bad enough, but for him to say anything about someone who hasn't even won the spot is just really, really bad form.

Fetterman needs to STFU and resign for serious medical reasons.

Also, Platner is our only Democratic candidate in maine… the only one. I suggest that some should think carefully before criticizing him. I will give nothing to the DNC because of their behavior in this matter, but will support Democratic candidates individually.
