You need to talk to the people who are yelling about how this is clearly confirmation that Platner is a Nazi

And why am I obligated to do that? I don't think people who have already knee jerked can be moved, nor do I think they are a relevant contingent.

Like, if you've already decided that Platner is a secret nazi, I'm not going to be convince you otherwise. The primary point of the article is that the attack line is a lie. So if you've made the above conclusion without evidence, there isn't any evidence I can present to someone that will will convince them, because it wasn't evidence that convinced them. I dont think there is any value in trying to work on those people. All it does is elevate a point which doesn't deserve redress.

Who we can work on is the silent majority, which are reading the comments and sitting back and evaluating. And the point I'm making to that contingent is that this entire thing looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and is about as much of a duck as ducks get. You have it either be very unfamiliar with how political campaigns and strategies like oppo research work, or you have to be incredibly naive. Schumer aggressively recruits Mills, Mills announces, and 24 hours later the oppo research drops. Like, if you need it made more obvious for you, please don't take a position advising a political campaign.
