Platner may seem like the right guy to appeal to the white dudes, but that is largely based on the willingness to throw the rest of us non-white, non-Christian, and/or non-men to the wolves.
Happens throughout US history. And it never works out cause solidarity is how we get there.
Platner is a trust litmus test for me at this point.
I will remember and so will a lot of other people.
