    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.

      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.
