ME-SEN: Platner says Democratic Party 'trying to destroy my life'

[karynnj]

18. Lots of errors

First, Mamdani NEVER SAID globalize the intifada he was slow to criticize others who did, but has done that. As to being questioned, what you mention is an example of something he was questioned about.

As he has been the frontrunner, he was the recipient of most of the attacks in the general election debates. Huge numbers of ads have gone after him. The paper of record in NYC has not been friendly. Some high profile Democrats have still not endorsed him.

The difference is he calmly and convincingly answered attacks and is still running ahead.

As to Platner, this response can easily be described as whiny. Did he expect that either no one would see or no one would care about these things? Also, it is too early to see if enough people forgive Platner.

Not to mention it's a big jump from "forgiving" him and backing him for Senate. Each of these things makes his judgment questionable. The comments were not in the long ago past. I've always thought that the truest view of someone is how they act when they think no one is watching. His statements and values expressed as he runs are honed by himself and his team. Is it possible that the comments written on reddit might be not far from who he is.

Not to mention, he has allowed his own story to be somewhat crafted and far from his life story. He grew up wealthy and his family was wealthy going back at least 2 generations.
