> literally convicted of sexual assault in a court of law

It was a civil case, not criminal, and had included no physical evidence. And the claim was so old the statute of limitations had run out, but no worries, New York temporarily extended it so she could bring her lawsuit against Trump. It was bullshit, like most of these cases of women crawling out of the woodwork after decades during very critical times are.

When your standard is "believe all women, no matter how long it's been, no matter how politically convenient the timing is, no matter that there's nothing but anecdotal evidence", well, don't be surprised when it's used against your team.

> You can guess where the bar is

Have you considered that maybe people don't believe these political stunts rather than tacitly approve of what the person was accused of? You're even doubtful of the Platner one. This trick has been played one too many times for people to take them at face value anymore.
