The woman came forward to the NYT earlier to get on record but held back the story until another accuser came forward. She has contemporaneous emails with her therapist dealing with the fallout and people in her life she told the story to around the time it happened who can confirm it, as well as woman she warned after cutting contact with Platner. These allegations are as credible as they get and some of the reactions to this story are frankly disgusting.

Being a leftist is a lot like pointing to a dead canary in a coal mine and having everyone around you say ‘well that could mean anything!’ but it turns out it was the most probable thing the whole time. It also means saying ‘man I would have loved to be wrong’ a whole hell of a lot.

Be careful, hes a hero.

Quick, someone give a millionaire nepobaby ‘political consultant’ tons of money so thery can tell us it’s okay to keep aligning with billionaires.

Brother the fucking primaries havent evem started and you’re starting with the ‘you dont get to vote for who you want’ shit. You keep giving them cover they’ll keep using it to lose elections. Kamala lost every swing state and has never won a single primary delagate via ballot and you’re acting like shes inevitable? Kick rocks.

Woah the thing the rich people are spending all their money on is to make them more money???

They’re telling us who they are. This is their club and they’re not taking kindly to any change that scares their clubs billionaire donors.

Gotta love how small the ‘for’ is on their jackets.

It’s as if theres some parasitic force siphoning all those dollars somewhere . . . oh right, there is.
