People are misreading him when they say he’s going to appeal Trump voters by *avoiding* “culture war” issues. He just doesn’t want to debate them because, to him, there’s no debate.
Reportedly, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is wooing Maine Governor Janet Mills to run for the nomination. At 77, a win against Collins would make her the oldest senate freshman in history. (Platner is 40.) Platner's campaign only becomes an insurgency against Susan Collins if he first survives the Democratic establishment. His pointed critiques of party inaction have already set the tone. His candidacy isn't just about beating Republicans, it's about forcing Democrats to do more than fundraise off of their failures. "I've not gotten a single phone call from anybody in the Democratic Party outside of the state of Maine. Nobody's followed up with me from D.C. Nobody's reached out. Nothing," he says. "Which I take as a Nothing, compliment." Perhaps he should let those calls go to voicemail. Platner sees no reason to fear spooking a Trump voter on issues the Democratic consultant class has deemed to be politically radioactive. "I stand right in the fucking way of anyone who's going to try to come after the freedoms of the LGBTQIA+ community," he wrote in a Reddit AMA. On X, he put it baldly: "There is a genocide happening in Palestine." Don't run away from what you believe, he says. Plant the flag and move on. "Talk about health care affordability, about housing affordability, about basic material issues," he says. "Be who you are and stick to it and don't get dragged into the nonsense. Before I'd pulled out my notebook, Platner and I talked about our favorite science fiction franchises. Platner told me that Star Trek's optimism had inspired his earliest interest in policy. "This brings us back to Star Trek," he says to wrap up his philosophy on culture war issues. "You have to solve scarcity. I believe that if you solve scarcity issues, no one gives a fuck about these other things."

I swear these people are going to spontaneously combust from all the cognitive dissonance.
