@agraybee I don't think women outraged about Platner's treatment of women are going to vote for the party that literally has a convicted rapist as its leader.
@joeyjguarino@agraybee I think the GOP wanted to drop this after the primary but the NYT and lib media got word of it and investigated it before the primary.
@LExpeditionary@agraybee No I'm literally only talking about this article and the allegations of DV. It's uncorroborated evidence from a MAGA operative. Obviously Platner is kind of a dirtbag but that's already baked in.
@agraybee So we're clear either one of two things is happening
*The NYT is completely lying and sweeping for Platner when the truth can easily be uncovered
*A RW operative is either outright lying, lying by omission, or grossly exaggerating what happened
For now, I know who I'm trusting
@FuriosaNAFO@Wilson__Valdez@katz_morris@RebeccaKKatz I don't know who that is, but if he's even semi-legit, it's profound incompetence the Dems didn't rally around him as Janet Mills didn't even want to do this.
@CityLightSports@agraybee This is my rule about sex scandals and I'm going to the grave on it. 90% of people that get outraged by them only do so because they already don't like the person. They just want to smear the person as a sexual deviant.
@CityLightSports@agraybee Given this isn't a hypothetical, and the allegations against Platner are as credible (possibly even less) than Tara Reade, you are 100% correct, and this is exactly how @agraybee responded. He completely dismissed it.
@LExpeditionary@agraybee Lol I mean I don't. Doesn't mean I disbelieve them, but, no, I don't automatically believe them especially when it comes from such an untrustworthy source.
@agraybee One of two things
*Either @chrislhayes has more intel than the public
*Or he's terminally online. Because every online sex drama inevitably devolves into calling someone a pedo regardless of the evidence.
@Wilson__Valdez@RoKhanna The Platner article has Dems divided. But somehow, @RoKhanna managed to unite both sides by everyone agreeing he said the dumbest thing possible in response.
@InTheGrottoes@agraybee ?? It's not a "narrative". It's literally what she is. And I don't think candidates need to disclose their dating history when running for office.
