So not criminal trial, but there was a trial and a determination by a jury. I know about the law suit but I thought the burden of proof was pretty different? You seem to be taken in by the idea that all unproven claims should be treated equally until tried in a court of law. No, that’s not my thinking. I’m trying to understand why accusations are treated differently for different people and, if done by people in support of a political party, does this cause fractions within the party? I know if there was an election happening where I live and the leadership and members of a political party called women coming forward with accusations a liar, would wonder how safe I would be to report problematic behavior if it happens to me?

Do you just not believe someone would ever lie? Or that some accusations could be more credible than others? Platner’s first accuser was an actual Republican operative. A party that has happily embraced lying for political benefit. No one should trust a word she says about anything. Don’t join the liars party as an active operative and then expect people to trust your word. Accusations are treated differently for different people because they’re different. That’s just life. You make decisions based on available information without being certain.
