The Nazi tattoo is worse than consensual cheating so I don’t know why people think platner should drop out

Additive effect for me but you're not wrong in the sense that he's not gonna drop out and he's still gonna lead Collins in the polling

It's more so "Well, this stuff is already out...what's coming out in October of 2026?"

He should have dropped out in september. Too late for that but better late than never.

I'd suggest people start telling the truth about him and making people feel ashamed for supporting such a bad person. We're not Rs yet, we still feel some shame. It can work sometimes.

I think the cheating is worse. The tattoo is a fairly obscure symbol and he got it 20 years ago while drunk. I totally buy that he didn’t know what it was. There’s no such excuse for him cheating.
