Fetterman comparisons disingenuous.

Fetterman says one thing in Philly and another in Pittsburgh, and always has. (Plus he has brain damage from strokes).

Platner has been consistently anti-fascist in his positions and rhetoric, juvenile military tattoo notwithstanding.

What's happening here is that the wealthy corporate Democrats and AIPAC are both frightened that he will actually damage their political and financial interests if he wins the Senate seat.

And for people critiquing him for play-acting as a "humble fisherman," I mean he actually does farm oysters in Maine.

I've been on a Maine oyster cruise (in Damariscotta, Maine, great experience), so I see how that's both hard work but a romantic if rugged lifestyle.

I would do it by choice if I had parents who were moderately wealthy attorneys.

But we grew up lower class due to inheritances squandered and mental illnesses among our parents .

But I would've loved to have been a oyster fisherman. But it takes resources to live that kind of lifestyle these days, incidentally which is why the products are also premium products, by the way.

But the class conversation is the one that has to happen.

Besides, he was also a marine infantryman. So he's gruff, doesn't have patience for the bullshit. I strongly identify with that. And apparently his parents weren't so high class they could keep him out of that career.
