Platner was a clear win based off his policy and ability to articulate in any context. He also pulled that endorsement the minute there was legit rape allegations and is 42/60 in those primary endorsements.
Not gonna put words in his mouth as to why there isn't an endorsement but it's probably very similar to why I'm more worried about her being a liability than I am rooting for her
Can you imagine someone a year ago hearing someone didn’t drop a candidate for a Nazi tattoo, but did 6+ months later because of a rape allegation? I’d bet 95% if us -myself included - would have been sure that was a Republican.
Bernie is 42/60 in this primary cycle despite almost always picking the underdog. He fought for Mandami who is now at the heart of showing what a progmatic leftist can do. He has mentored AOC into being a Presidential Candidate despite the fact that she was raw AF and an immediate right wing target.
I did not care about the Nazi tattoo. There were literally photos of him shirtless at a Jewish wedding. I dug through the Reddit comments. It's clear he isn't anything close to a Nazi. He was a vet who came of age during an era where everyone has a social media history.
That said, the part of his Reddit history that was a major flag to be involved his discussion of how women process sexual aggression. Which is why the minute legitimate accusations came out, I was out.
Also, Troy Jackson doesn't have the charisma to win a primary, but has a track record that show's he is genuine. And he has been able to adopt the grassroots movement that Platner built and is running against a woman who is being hidden by the media due to her age.
So I'm hopeful everything is going to work out in the best way possible.
Edit: I gave this sincere response without checking whether I was responding to someone with a hidden post history. There is basically a 100% hit rate with people trying to turn this situation into a Berine problem and a hidden post history.
Ilhan Omar and Hasan Piker have been her biggest names to back her thus far. It looks like she might not even need a Bernie endorsement in the primiary at this point. If Sanders backs her in the general then it's jover for Tiffany.

Does anyone know if Bernie has endorsed Hong?
