One of the (many) problems with the Platner campaign was the dude ran entirely on toxic manliness signifiers and tried to pass them off as proof of working class cred.
He did working guy cosplay and the people who do working class politics cosplay on their podcasts loved it because they hate women.

All of these people are fantasizing about a "left" politics that is all signifiers and no actual lived experience. And they are actively fighting to make sure that the signifier "working class" checklist precludes women and queers by default. By making "manliness" the metric.
