This means he can be replaced with another Democrat

Per the NYT

Graham Platner can be replaced as the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine if he withdraws from the race by next Monday, and state law would then give the state Democratic Party until July 27 to name a replacement.

    I hate the weaponization and hysteria that revolves around “Believe all women”.

    Its bullshit and I hate it. Women are capable of being evil too. Just like men. Innocent until proven guilty!

    What a shame. Now another corporate democrat is likely going to take his place.

      Do you know how hard it is to prove rape in the court of law though without relying on testimony? The most you can prove with evidence is that sexual intercourse happened, but not if it was consensual. Even rape kits can only prove whether you had cum in you and if damage was done to your body. Which is why people who lie about being raped are the scum of the earth, but I’m not going to say “pics or it didn’t happen” like the partisan tribalists do whenever their candidates are accused. If Platner was a moderate democrat, all the tankies would be beating the opposite drum right now

        Okay so why bother believing someone without court of law involved? You think Cnn and Politico care about women? You think Democrats care about women?

        Why did everyone allow Biden to get elected while he had accusations but not Platner. Say it with me. SOCIOECONOMIC DOUBLE STANDARDS.

      First of all, it’s “believe women”, not “believe all women”.

      Second of all, shut the fuck up. The only men upset that women are speaking up are rapists and abusers. Which one are you?

      Edit: it’s weird as fuck you replied to a single comment three times.
