45. Kind of shows who Trumpy's Project 2025 handlers are scared of.

Platner is definitely not perfect and the right wing propaganda machine is doing a great job of swiftboating him.

When we consider his message, we cannot be surprised, because like AOC and Mamdani, he has lifted his eyes beyond the lip noises made by profit-driven corporate 'news' media.

The historical antecedent of this, of course, is when Congress sent a new Fairness Doctrine bill to the snake Reagan and he killed it by veto in 1987. THAT is what has happened, and it is by careful design.
