politics

Heritage foundation.... Yeah they are pretty much all liars . plus aren't they against contraception?

So Maine's choices are an alleged sexual assualter or a known and confirmed adjudicated rapist and 99.9% likely a pedo protector known as Susan Collins? Two extremely shitty choices, I'll admit.

The Politco story is well sourced with therapist and boyfriend messages from before Platner was ever in politics.

Sometimes a broken clock is correct, this is one of those times.

We’ve got weirdos pretending that this waters down the term rape in this thread, lovely.

When you are having sex with someone, presumably you are trusting them? You are trusting them to be safe, to not push boundaries, to do only things you consent to do.

When someone stealths you, they are saying that they don’t give a fuck about you. That trust was misplaced. They are willing to do something to you that you explicitly did not want. Are they going to stop there? (The same type also often pushes for anal/“accidentally” attempts penetration there.)

It’s terrifying and traumatic. Your head races - are you current on your birth control? How likely do you think it is that this guy has some disease? And you get a physical reminder that your consent didn’t matter, the sensation and needing to clean up after if they finished.

It’s also so goddamned common. It’s trivialized.

If you slip the condom off without someone’s consent, you are a rapist. Rape fucks victims up whether it’s a stranger in the bushes or a FWB stealthing you.

You can be that guy. I'll be that guy along with you.

Why would you not wanna be that guy? That’s the reality of it.

The other allegation is also rape since he didn't stop when she asked him to multiple times

Yes politics sucks. The sad part is it only gets worse the less you pay attention, but because you're not paying attention, all is good.

This whole thread though feels like two bots arguing about which one is more right.

Fucking gross

I dug up his old Reddit comment about rape victims earlier because I was curious and couldn’t quite remember the details:

“Holy fuck, how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so fucked up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to? Men and women, you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self control. So if you don’t want to be in a comprising situation, act like an adult for fucks sake.”

He needs to drop out.

Maybe, and this is me having to think a few seconds... Progressive voters align more with moral behavior than Trump voters? A lot of progressives want things that make people's lives better because they believe it is the right thing, and I would argue that raping people is a thing that they would deem as bad.

Now, if your argument is that this is only an accusation and not proven... That's a little more understandable. I would argue that this most recent accusation seems very credible. It's also kinda fucking weird to say "If they're okay with the child rapist Trump, we should be okay with an adult rapist!" That's better in a way that sort of makes light of rape.

I feel like if you sexually assault someone, you should never be allowed power should not be a controversial opinion, but I fucking bet it is.

How is it that Trump can say he grabs women by the pussy and still become president and Platner is so far only accused of sexual assault and his support is quickly eroding and he's being asked to leave the race?

In case the other guy minced words a little too much, I'll say it a bit more directly. Sexual misconduct and rape are bad. Left leaning voters do not like rapists, apparently right leaning voters do. Your concern about the fact that the right still elected trump, but that the left seems to be abandoning platner is effectively saying that you are perfectly fine with overlooking rape if it means that your political team gets a win. This makes you an asshole.

Hope that cleared it up.
