My point is not really you should or you shouldn't support Platner, it's that this is all very sus even compared to a situation like Platner's because the upside with Platner is that if he HAS changed you get a Senator, probably. He has a very good chance of winning. I'd say he's a favorite myself.
What do you get if MtG is your ally? I KNOW she hasn't changed, I don't even wanna argue about it, she is clearly still a nazi. But she's also not politically relevant. Do you just LIKE the fascism?
