Unfortunately, his existence or lack there of is irrelevant to the future of the country. He's a tool and will die regrettably well-accomplished in his task.
You don't seem to understand how the dems work internally. There's a "wait your turn" mentality; the org pressures candidates to influence the options. Platner didn't bend to that which is why he stuck out in contrast to their pick (Mills). That's why they went so hard against him; he wasn't blessed by the establishment to run.
I was in favor of Platner through various controversies until now because most of them, including SA allegations, were largely unsubstantiated from questionable sources (like known gop operatives or est dems making mountains of molehills) and appeared to be manufactured. The most recent allegations are different, so my stance on him has changed.
He was the most progressive in the running because the rest kowtowed to chuck schumer and didn't run. Blame the dems, just like the Biden<>Kamala fiasco; they're addicted to losing; they would rather lose elections than lose control of the party.
Blame the dems. Not voting for a rapist is still the right call. There would have been other candidates if the establishment wasn't a shitshow addicted to losing.
There's been some debate on what constitutes natural-born, mostly related to parental citizenship and territories in particular; but the language (and consensus over the last few two centures) is quite clear...
The 14th amendment is quite clear, naturalized citizens are US citizens
I mean, yeah, of course they are. With that said, they would be absolutely stupid to do so explicitly. If they actually find evidence during discovery, that just means management is dumb as rocks. So... They might.
Pedantics, really. In colloquial terms, it makes sense to describe a vaccine as doing exactly that. Not everyone has a grasp on the statistics involves; a huge number of people learned about R0 for the first time because of covid. People were arguing over whether you should wash your hands and wear a mask like it was the dawn of germ theory; I forgive the media for not going into hour long lectures about viral replication in the body and the expected statistical significance of vaccination...
I suggest you look into the clinical data about what studies were done prior to approval of the vaccine. It was a record-breaking modern deployment speed, yes, but not many corners were cut and the technology was pretty well understood and was always a potential tool for a rapid response scenario.
