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 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.

        Oh no, I would never do that. I’m not a medical professional. In case you missed it, I said they should go to the ER and have samples collected.

        You know, that way they can actually match the DNA and prove in court that someone is guilty of raping them.

        For all your concern trolling about statistics of rape not getting prosecuted, you don’t seem to care very much about actually getting rapists prosecuted. Strange.

        That’s what tells me you only care about holding onto the power you derive from “believe women.” If no one is going to question any allegations you make, then suddenly men have to tip-toe around you lest they attract your ire. I bet that makes you powerful.
