This means he can be replaced with another Democrat
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.
You’re the only one here acting like your own thoughts are the ultimate truth. “Believe every woman always because they never lie, ever!”
A bunch of statistics of alleged cases? When the prevailing mentality is “always believe every case”? I’m sure that’s so credible.
And even if there was some way of verifying such a statistic, that still wouldn’t demonstrate guilt in any individual case. If you want to convict an actual rapist, you need to gather evidence. That means collecting samples. If you don’t like that, tough, I don’t get to decide how reality operates, and neither do you. But I’m not going to believe every accusation I hear just because you want to virtue signal about how women supposedly don’t need to have any evidence in order to accuse someone.
Stop trying to blame every man in the world just because two thirds of alleged rape victims inexplicably decide not to even try to press charges. That’s their choice, but they kinda forfeit any expectation to be taken seriously when they decide to bring it up five years later with no evidence.
But sure, continue trying to pretend that it’s somehow misogynist to say “rape victims should gather evidence if they want to secure a conviction.” You’re only hurting actual victims.
Where did I say this?
THIS woman has evidence, you just don’t want to believe it.
Gaslight me harder. You’ve already stretched credulity far enough. I don’t expect your mind to ever change. I hope to never have the displeasure of meeting you in person.
If I said that, as you quoted, you’d be able to link it.
Just like you’d be able to find comments where I claim I’m trans like you’ve stated.
Just like you’d be able to find the posts where men are taken to task for gendered posts in the shitposting community.
But you can’t because you’re lying and spreading misinformation.
I’ve asked you so many times to back up what you’re saying and you deflect every. single. time.
It’s not deflection so much as I don’t entertain sealioning. You can feign ignorance all you want but I won’t dance to your tune.
You are making these claims, YOU are using quotation marks. Do you not understand what quotation marks are used for? The onus is on you to back up these claims you’re making.
I brought sources. Where are yours?
Do you not know what paraphrasing is?
You can’t say “Victims don’t need proof. You should always believe them.” And then backpedal by claiming “I never said the exact words that you should always believe victims no matter what in every case.'”
It’s kind of childish that you think you gave plausible deniability simply because my paraphrasing wasn’t quoting you verbatim.
Your sources had nothing to do with the particular case in question. Show up to a bench trial bringing only statistics and see how long it takes the judge to dismiss your case.
If you’re going to paraphrase, don’t use quotation marks like you’re quoting me directly.
Where did I say those statements?
You were incredulous about 98% of rape cases never seeing a courtroom and I provided sources proving that what I said was true.
I asked how that statistic was collected, because it sounds like it was mostly self-reporting, and if you think there are no flaws with that then you don’t understand statistics.
It’s like saying “X% of drug addiction goes unreported.” Who’s measuring this? How did they collect their data? It’s a huge red flag to anyone familiar with statistical methods.
