Nobody is talking about a criminal prosecution, why are you fixated? This is critical discussion about the ethical fitness of a candidate for high office, or from an angle of pure political expedience, can Platner win with this stink of so many allegations on him?

But you infecting this thread with defeatist rhetoric about how stealthing can never be punished or believed doesn’t do anything but make every woman who’s been victimized like this feel invisible.

We need to get Platner out now, and maybe you can direct your energy at making these laws more effective.
