  • All the more motivation for Platner to deny there were any more potential scandals even while he knew that this woman believed he raped her. She texted him that he had sex with her without her consent. And he flatly denied that there were any more skeletons in his closet.

  • I think he should take her to court there are things that can prove his innocence.

    Like what?

  • Also what sources do you have to show people speaking on his character?

    Oh you have no idea about Platner's history at all but you're going this hard against his victim?

  • Are you really arguing it's better to elect a rapist over another Dem candidate because he's 58 years old?

    Really?

  • And if he loses because of this?

  • I hate to say this, but the accuser sure picked an interesting time to come forward.

    She came out with enough time for another candidate to be chosen. It was now or never.

  • Oh come on, I was conversing respectfully back and forth with you and you just had to throw in that sarcastic jab at the end.

    Yeah I fucking will for the bare minimum of not actively supporting rapists

  • I'd rather be a hypocrite than knowingly support putting a rapist in a position of power.

    That's why that position is inherently flawed. Because we end up supporting people just like MAGA does.

  • No, all of the text messages were not deleted.

    She deleted the texts between her and Platner. Not the texts to her friends or the emails to her therapist.

    I didn't throw a slur, get your eyes checked.

  • I agree he should step down. I don't think it's helpful to push that this is the best representation we can find from average people. I've always been against "vote blue no matter who" for exactly these types of scenarios.

    If one wants to hold a consistent position as to “blue no matter who”, the same applies for a potential rapist as it does a bland corporate dem, as it does a former policewoman, as it does a Muslim democratic socilaist.

    We shouldn't hold the position of "vote blue no matter who". I can't believe the discussion we're all having is that we should vote for a rapist and that the ends justifies the means.

  • Platner shouldn't have put himself in so many situations where he was taking advantage and forcing himself on women if he wanted to run a successful campaign.

    He knew this could come up. He was informed that he had raped her. And he denied any possibility of another scandal coming out.

  • Can't pretend a man wanting power is unwilling to rape and lie and cheat.

  • As much kindness and empathy that’s being shown to Platner’s victim.

  • I have, stop pretending like you’re the only one to ever have been raped.

  • I didn’t concede to your disgusting takes.

  • She chose to come forward. We should respect what she has to say as the victim in this circumstance.

  • Questioning rape victim’s accounts and actively working to discredit them is what diminishes rape.

  • This has nothing to do with the accusations against Platner.

    Would you have preferred to have been told you’re lying about being raped?

  • She told him to never speak to her again, but you’ve already made it clear that you support ignoring women’s boundaries.
