His grandfather was the modernist architect Warren Platner.

Warren Platner (June 18, 1919 – April 17, 2006) was an American architect and interior designer. Platner produced a furniture collection that has proved to be a continuing icon of 1960s modernism. He is also famed with designing several prominent interiors in New York City, including headquarters offices for the Ford Foundation building and the original Windows on the World restaurant, atop the World Trade Center.
Working in the firms of Eero Saarinen and Kevin Roche in the early and mid-1960s, Platner unveiled his seminal collection of chairs, ottomans and tables in 1966. Produced by Knoll International, with the aid of a grant from the Graham Foundation, each piece rested on a sculptural base of nickel-plated steel rods resembling a “shiny sheaf of wheat”, according to the Knoll catalogue.
Ah yes, totally normal Elizabeth Warren.
He’s so Fetterman-coded, but like if Fetterman got to indulge all of his worst fantasies before taking office. Gleefully listing all the asymmetrical wars he would have loved to fight in because he wouldn’t be under artillery and could murder people more easily. Platner is going to endorse the next Iraq or Gaza with a visible erection. Any kind of medical issue that takes away his executive capacity like Fetterman is going to unleash the most demonically bloodthirsty senator in Washington.
Susan Collins will probably keep her seat.
But a funny outcome could be I’m wrong and Platner wins. The dems say “He had a tattoo he got when he was a Marine that he thought was just a badass skull and crossbones. It was worse but he didn’t know that! And he covered it up! Plus…” 1,000 words of rationalizations follow.
The libs are shocked (Shocked!) when he turns out their brand-new politician-senator is a super-chud who is worse than Collins. And he says such things as “Trump is right about a lot of stuff. Like violence in the cities and the need to crack down.”
Honestly I would rather Susan Collins than a fucking nazi
Wow, comments actually kinda cooking in this thread
All very interesting. But why is no one asking why there’s no apparent history of doing anything (community organizing, committee membership, local political leadership, even just volunteering for a cause) that aligns with the profound shift in values and beliefs this guy is now telling us he had?
