It’s a fair point, but whenever I see Platner and Fetterman lumped together I feel a little gaslighted. I feel like I remember that election cycle clearly and no where I do recall Fetterman getting even 1% of the support Platner has received from the “left”. He (Fetterman) was an open Zionist then too, and no the left didn’t just ignore it it was brought up nearly every time I did see Fetterman mentioned. I do recall the left treated Fetterman like say Raphael Warnock or Ro Kanna - a guy with a few progressive points in his favor but overall too many shitty or just standard dem policy positions for the left to meaningfully “support” them.
We should of course self-crit and try to evaluate our own mistakes and blind spots as a movement. But trying to turn Fetterman into some ur-Platner feels like an attempt to change the reality of the past to fit a present narrative. While we have a lot of work to do in being better especially in regards to race and white supremacy, saying there is a white supremacist problem on the left (especially when this is the evidence), does feel a bit to me like “Labour has an anti-semitism problem” vis-a-vis Corbyn.
Then I think that group should be condemned and not supported, but I would have said that just based on them picking Fetterman alone before anything with Platner.
You think Fetterman received even a significant fraction of the support Platner has received from the “left” in his election cycle? Because I genuinely do not recall that at all.

Fetterman and Platner are both candidates from consultancy firm Fight Agency.
Platner was hand-picked by Fight Agency even and groomed on what to say.

You’re right, I missed a few words.
