Unbelievable!

I thought the MAGAT were the cult. Well, we have some like that on our side too.

Apparently supporting democrats means you are supposed to vote for somebody credibly accused of rape and proceed to smear the accuser.

I see more threads questioning the victim's integrity than Platner's.

I found Platner intriguing during the primary but was prepared to get behind whoever won the nomination. Now that he’s been credibly accused of rape, all of his former allies should drop him like a hot potato and get behind another candidate.

Am I disappointed that somebody who espoused progressive values and seemed to have a reasonable shot at beating Collins is now a pariah? Sure.

But we all have to wake up and smell the oysters. This is a dead campaign. Hopefully there’s time to make some kind of recovery.
