    I believe this round of accusations against Platner are credible. I’d like to see more receipts but I will try not to reflexively deny the victim from coming forward how and when she did.

    That said, if Platner does not step down within the next week, then Maine must accept one of the two options they are given, as is. One is a Senator who will support women having no rights related to voting or bodily autonomy, reckless war spending, support for genocide, and no accountability on Trump’s corruption empire, while starving the livelihood of the common American. The other is a Senator with a storied history chewed and spat out by the military, leading to drunken behvaiour and an alleged serious rape incident, who will work to stop Israel and large corporations having influence through their money in politics, and prosecute Trump org for their crimes and benefit more than just the 1%.

    If he does, the choice is likely to be between supporting the removal of women’s rights, supporting genocide, oligarchy and Trump’s corruption, versus flowery words opposing these things but tacitly allowing the same to continue unpunished.

        Heck if I know. It seems possible for a perpetrator of that to reform during that time too.

      He’s a disgusting pig of a man who deserves to be in jail. Voting for him is a moral stain. The Dems are so commited to the lesser evil thing that they’re putting up the lesser rapist for elections now. Unbelievable.
