The relevant discussion around Platner in socialist spaces like this isn't "should we vote for him or not". It's obvious that we should not even if we were doing electoralism as a strategy, which we should not. The relevant discussion around Platner is "he's a social fascist. Anyone defending him here needs immediate re-education or ban or wholesale mockery and derision".
You and the electoralist social fascists keep trying to make the discussion the first thing, when in fact it's the latter. The discussions will keep happening until everyone accepts the latter and squishies here either learn and grow, or leave to find a nazi echo-chamber where they can do third-way liberal-fascist neo-bernardism without the cynical tankie "doomers" criticizing their fourth reich attempts.
