In reply to the discussion: Ex-girlfriend of Graham Platner says he removed condoms without consent during sex [View all]hlthe2b
(115,424 posts)57. You are being ridiculous and your accusations show you don't bother to read or
understand what is written, particularly given throughout I have both emphasized the need to change these laws--a very long term process and that the current focus needs to be on replacing Platner as the nominee, given he has been fully exposed for who he clearly is. But promoting anything less than truth about the current state of the laws across the nation helps no one here Yet several on this thread continue to do so. Change the laws-- absolutely. Claim they are what they are not? That helps no one.
And that you continue to (apparently) intentionally make false claims about my position or try to disingenuously reframe what i have written throughout shows me that you are not someone worth further interaction.
