Please tell me i’m not the only one who still finds this ridiculous and believes that only a court of law can determine guilt?

    Yeah, because they don’t want a candidate with credible rape accusations. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

    The outlet reported it reviewed text messages and interviewed people whom Racicot had previously told about the incident, including her therapist and an ex-boyfriend. The Hill

    Rep. Ro Khanna rescinded his endorsement of Graham Platner and called the allegations “serious and credible”.

      Politico was the outlet. Text Messages screenshots can be fabricated. All the communication outside of those screenshots conveniently left out. And all other witnesses conveniently wanting to be remaining anonymous.

      I don’t care if Bernie Sanders asked him to step down. They aren’t a jury or a judge.

        Oh, you’re confused. This is a political process, not a judicial one. There’s no “beyond a reasonable doubt” here, and this isn’t the first issue with Platner.

            Seems reasonable to me. Especially with all the corporate capture of our media and how the DNC gets to have just enough time to pick a candidate if he drops right now.
