In reply to the discussion: Platner, Platner Platner, Platner [View all]But we don't have the power to fix that injustice at this time. What we do have the power to do, and hopefully we learned our lesson, is that when a "progressive" candidate shows such glaring red flags as Platner did, we can find a Plan B before it's too late.
I'm not holding out any hope, though, because the left didn't learn its lesson from 2000, 2016, and 2024. We are now at the point where the rights that were won in the 20th century are now under attack and, in many cases, under threat of being lost entirely. Many on the left still have not learned how to tell the difference between an imperfect friend like Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris from a deadly enemy like George Bush and Donald Trump.

The gaslighting is why I prefer right wing antisemitism to left-wing antisemitism.
