  • simple avoidance of an unpleasant task

    You reducing reporting rape down to this is....inaccurate.

    But this wasn’t the only option and its timing may impact millions of lives.

    It was going to impact many lives regardless because Platner decided to run knowing he had all of this in his past.

  • I already told you that I agree with you as far as him not being a good candidate based on his past war crimes, but I can't continue a conversation where you're going to victim blame like this. It's disgusting.

  • He’s openly spoken about the war crimes he committed when he was there and claimed to have regretted it and repented.

  • He signed up for several tours as a private mercenary for hire in Afghanistan.

    Clearly he hasn’t changed as much as he claimed.

  • How dare you have multiple conversations on a platform that encourages and revolves around people interacting and having conversations! /s

  • Do you think his on again off again girlfriend would have known as much about Nazi tattoos as the former mercenary?

    Stop victim blaming in here. I, for one, agree with you he was never a good candidate. Let’s cast blame where it belongs - on Platner.

  • How about you stop blaming his victims when they’re coming forward to inform the public about who Platner really is before getting elected.

  • Ex-girlfriend of Graham Platner says he removed condoms without consent during sex

  • 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.

  • Y’all wanted to elect him to the Senate despite the Nazi tattoo, but you want to dog this woman for having an on and off again relationship with him?

    She still didn’t deserve to be sexually assaulted. He was the one to remove the condoms.

  • She has explained why she hesitated to come forward.

    “One of the reasons I didn’t come forward sooner was, the huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics, but not supporting him as a person,” she said. “I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person.”

  • Yeah it’s her fault he kept taking the condom off after promising to use one.

  • Ex-girlfriend of Graham Platner says he removed condoms without consent during sex

    Jump

  • She estimated that Platner removed condoms without her consent at least six times when they had sex at both of their residences in D.C. during their two-year, on-and-off relationship. She said she told him that she was upset about it but that he would make light of the situation.

    “I confronted him both during and after [sex] because he knew that I was not on birth control and how dangerous that was,” she told The Post in one interview. In another, she said: “He would act like cute about it, like ‘Oh sneaky me.’”

  • Makes sense, America. The court of CNN and Politico thank you for your alliance

    Jump

  • How would you feel if someone falsely accused you of a crime, claimed you have non-existant evidence that damns you, and then demanded you produce this nonexistent evidence?

    The evidence is not non-existent.

    His ex-girlfriend has just come forward about his habit of stealthing (taking condoms off during sex). His campaign is done.
