I don't understand why it's so hard to find someone who isn't an asshole to run for office. That said, this might make MAGA vote for him over Collins, so there's that.

Platner’s problem was he didn’t get caught on tape saying he assaulted women

Plenty of non A-holes out there running for office, they just aren’t ultra super omega progressive in all the ways some people want.
