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.

    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.

                Bro, you can’t even source comments from me that you are certain I’ve made. You can’t even back up anything you’re claiming with your own source.

                I don’t believe you’re familiar with statistical methods in the slightest

                  If I say I got stabbed, you’d ask to see my wound. If all I did was get upset that you don’t believe me, it wouldn’t convince you. And then I’d go “bro, point to where I said you should always believe someone who claims they’ve been stabbed even when they refuse to show proof.” It wouldn’t be very convincing.

                    Getting stabbed and getting raped are different kinds of crime.

                    Yeah, go ahead and tell rape victims to spread their legs so you can look for cum and see how far that gets you.
