Pareo distribution: whereby 20% of the fabric shows 80% of the body

Oh no, "alter" isn't really the right word here.
You can't alter how the electorate responds (re: Boomers), you can just out-vote the concerns of that sector, doesn't matter what they think after that. Altering how the electorate responds is much like how the scientific community alters its consensus- one funeral at a time.
because you want someone to survive a sexual assault scandal regardless of how abominable or real it is
You misunderstand: this is the reform I support, because right now they're all false, and I want the people who are too stupid to realize that (and/or think it's good that sex assault scandals are valid heckler's vetoes) to lose.
So I guess that means I think those people are... literally worse than Hitler.

Progressives are defending this guy because Platner's just the top image in hello_human_resources.jpg
I defend this guy because I want a candidate (who has politics I don't even agree with) to win an election regardless of how much female-privilege-associated (re: "consent violations") dirt appears, so that people stop listening to women when they invoke it.
We are not the same.
(What your mind is being blown by are conservatives who don't understand this, so they're all busy debating whether it was or wasn't consensual because that's the framework they use to Protect Women. They don't understand that the entire concept of "consent" was destructive from the start and that women don't need that protection in an equal world.)
Like I said before, I don't actually like his politics. But I need politicians to be able to lose on the basis of bad policy, not on the basis that one angry woman with accusations of sacrilege is enough to render any random politician un-electable, and if takes accepting bad policy to establish that precedent then so be it.
That said, it's the knuckling under here that disqualifies him, because that's what cuckservatives do, and he was running as an anti-cuckservative (though in the conservative/D party, so I'm not sure how shocked I should actually be that he believes himself beholden to Believing Women; it's kind of their thing).
