    Could we stop framing literal rape and voluntary mercenary work as “liberal purity tests”?

        Did you rape someone? In that case, engage in restitution for your victim(s) like Platner did not do. Turn yourself in to relevent authorities, if that is what your victims(s) want.

        Maybe I wouldn’t want you in the Senate, as a rapist, where you would have more power and access to victims, but you could probably work in the background in politics or in your local council after you genuinely acted to make up for your behavior.

        If you’re talking about saying bigoted shit on reddit, that is not the level we’re discussing anymore.

            People like me and Platner can’t do it, we’re far too flawed. Evil, even. It’s going to have to be one of the morally normal liberals. So which one of you are gonna step up and make the sacrifice?

            You’re telling me this isn’t dripping with sarcasm?
