or a lack of evidence to prove guilt in the public court of opinion instead of court of law so such a predator might be addressed for public safety, the maga owned politico trust me bro, after ny times shut her down, does also not fill me with convoicivision to argue further without seeing some evidence more than hearsay

To try to give you a serious answer to your question, there are three main western theories of morality. Consequentialism, Virtue Ethics, and Deontology. The people calling for Platner to drop out primarily identify internally with Virtue Ethics.

People are also consequentialists, and are pointing out that if you hold some candidates and not others to a given set of standards, you will wind up living in a fascist shit hole forever. I say this without judgement: assuming you accept that sentence as true some people will conclude we can’t let candidates get derailed by scandals if the other side isn’t going to, because it creates an electoral disadvantage, and yet another structural advantage for republicans. And some people look at that sentence and conclude ‘well fine, I’d rather live under fascism and be able to live with myself’. Neither side is wrong, per se.

Finally the deontologists are kind of split, and those people believe in rules and process. Technically, this is an accusation, not a conviction, so some deontologists want him to stay in. Other deontologists adhere more closely to party norms as rules, and want him out.
