BRETT KAVANAUGH: "Can you explain exactly how the consent would work?"
Just saying... if *I* were Brett Kavanaugh, *I* WOULDN'T ASK A QUESTION SHOWING THAT I WAS CONFUSED HOW CONSENT WORKS! But maybe that's just me.

There’s this weird phenomena that, best I can tell, is only on Bluesky, but is people certain that “no one told Harris and Walz to stop saying ‘weird’, that’s a myth.”
It’s not, and there’s named sources in CNN articles about, from August 2024.

As much as I hate to say it because it’s cheap webforum meta discourse, the strongest correlation to Platner support wasn’t ideology, it was if you still frequently use X, The Everything App. I would hope that would lead to some introspection about what remaining on there does to your judgement.
Like I said, there's no small amount of finger-pointing that's going to happen as a result of this.
But Platner was a creation of Ryan Grim, Bernie Sanders, and Matt Stoller, as much as he was of Pod Save America and Matt Yglesias. That's what has to be reckoned with.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.
