I have defended Platner in the past, saying that he had likely changed. And maybe he has changed, but what is clear now is that he hasnt changed enough. A rape allegation at any point should cost him the election anyways. But paired with the fact he refuses to take accountability, and the fact this was in 2021 which is after his change in beliefs, it adds a lot of weight to the accusations that he hasnt changed at all.

Whether or not he has changed is irrelevant to me now. Rapists, reformed or not (which Platner is not due to not taking accountability), should not hold power. Platner needs to drop out immediately.
