I’ll probably be downvoted for this—and it is pretty provocative to be fair—but I’d rather have a (potential) rapist than a liberal. Now being a rapist is a pretty handy indicator that someone is a piece of shit, but so is pushing to support Israel.
PS: I’m comparing with Janet Mills here because obviously letting Susan Collins win is out of the question.
I mean Trump wasn’t just accused; it was 100% established fact that he was a rapist, and either way it’s not like he ever pretended to be anything he’s not. Or well he did do some superficial pretending, but he never really tried to hide the core shittiness of his personality if that makes sense.
We should be real careful about what we’re willing to accept in order to gain power.
Fair point, and this would be a pretty good reason to stop batting for him publicly (though I’d wait for the accusations to be somehow substantiated first). But that doesn’t preclude voting for him on election day, because he’s still the best of the viable options.

So basically you don’t want to win, right? It’s much more important to ‘own the libs’ than to win and govern? Progressive rapist will never win.
How about progressives start vetting their candidates first before handing them their full support?
That’s what we have in the presidency right now.

Do you think it’s better or worse that Platner and the people around him tried to hide his rapist past?
I’d rather have a democrat win against Collins and then when those accusations have more evidence he resigns.
