Because he could still be by far the best candidate in the election? Assuming all the allegations are true, if it came down to an election between a supposedly former Nazi sex offender with progressive policies or an open white supremacist with fascist policies that shields rich sex offenders from prosecution, who do you vote for? That’s the kind of elections America has now.

He’s up against Susan Collins, the most liberal Republican Senator. She votes with the Democrats, like, 70% of the time. And, crucially, doesn’t have anyone accusing her of rape. Edited correction: Has voted with the Democrats 70% of the time during the Obama and Biden administrations. She’s been with the Republicans 95% of the time with the Trump admin so far. But it’s a weird metric as not all votes are equivalent weighty. But is worth noting the the most bipartisan Dem this cycle (Fetterman) has only sided with the Republicans 44% of the time, so she has historically crossed the aisle more than he has.
