tbh platner would never have gotten as far as he did if it weren't for the small but extremely vocal minority of left-leaning men who hate the fact that the democratic party is "female-coded" and were just creaming themselves over the possibility of some guy with "macho" working class aesthetics (but who is, importantly, NOT working class so they can actually relate to him) being a potentially viable candidate
#like these guys are just as obsessed with aesthetics and presentation as magats#it's all just so shallow#and misogynistic obviously but that goes without saying
