No I reject that completely, leaders need to be held to a higher standard. There are so many ways for him to invest in and volunteer his time to help his community that don't involve giving him power over others. Mental health issues and/or an unstable personality should absolutely be taken into account for senate candidates, lest we get another Fetterman. Additionally, just framing it him having PTSD is rather disingenuous. Platner was not the victim of a war, he was the openly admitted participant in a black ops wet-work team. He has, under his own volition, admitted to torturing people. If he feels traumatized by that, well, i have a hard time being very sympathetic. Comparing that to a victim of rape is probably not your best work.
