agree, except you never saw the Dems and Republicans go this hard against anyone apart from Mamdani, Bernie, and AOC. (Including rival Republicans.)

I don't think that automatically means anything, especially since the things they are "going hard against" are worth some legitimate criticism.

Neither one of the parties liked fetterman until he won the primary against Conor Lamb, and even then there wasn't really another choice for the Dems.

Also the made-up scandals that keep popping up around Platner remind me very much of the swift-boating against Bernie in 2016.

What is being fabricated? He did have a Nazi tattoo, which even if it was a mistake still deserves some criticism. If not simply for being a senatorial candidate that is ignorant of history and mindlessly picked a random tattoo. It seems he also stepped out of his marriage in some way, which does speak to his character.

It may not be worth the amount of air time they are receiving, but it's not fabricated.
