50. The one attacking Platner over his background has a questionable background of his own

I personally hate victim blaming but a lot of Democrats end up supporting actual perpetrators like Cuomo. There is still some that blame others, specifically Gillibrand, for Al Franken's decision to resign.

Kamala Harris with her recent statements since losing shows she would have been better than Biden on the issue of Israel/Palestine. One thing I couldn't deal with when it came to the Biden administration was the gaslighters in the State Department.
