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.

    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.

      They did the lovely move of commenting “VELMA IS A CUNT” in this thread as well. Just to make sure I got the message.

      It’s a wonder rape victims ever come forward at all.

          All my leftist buddies attack women, call them liars and cunts, and defend rapists. Totally normal, nothing to see here /s

                Is there a credible claim about him being a rapist? Because all I can find is the ramblings of a habitual liar who has since defected to Russia

                    But the DNC would prefer if we only listened and believed women when Republicans raped them. If you think Democrats can rape people, that’s Russian propaganda.

                  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_sexual_misconduct_allegation#Sexual_assault_allegation is a good write-up of things.

                  Mostly it comes down to… Biden was known to be creepy and inappropriate towards women for basically his entire career. Inappropriate touching was pretty par for the course, but allegations beyond a lingering hand or an unwanted “kiss on the cheek” are basically non-existent. Not at all okay but… anyone who is aware of joe “a clean and articulate gentleman” biden knew he was very much “born of a different time” and… yeah.

                  As for Reade? Nothing verifiable but plenty of people to come out of the woodwork and discredit her.

                  So my personal stance is… I intentionally don’t have one. If biden did it, he will never face justice. I don’t think Reade was a republican plant but I have also seen firsthand the mental toll that comes from an abuser being glorified by the community and how that can impact memories years later.

                  But I also don’t think for a second that the people who bring it up on the regular care about the woman. They just see it as ammunition for Their Team.
