Mainesplaining: National media, consent, and misplaced outrage

After weeks of the national media descending on Maine to ask us inane and annoying questions, only to have them turn around and tell us how we don’t understand - I’m exhausted and it’s only June. The national media is not letting up on this, which is becoming more annoying by the minute, especially when I look at other races throughout the nation that should be getting these same questions. I’ve seen multiple attempts to put Platner in the same category as Roy Moore & Eric Swalwell – 2 predators that have an issue with consent to put it lightly. Platner sent (we can only assume) some dick pics to some adults on a platform where that is part of the exchange. It might not be your thing, it would seem it wasn’t Amy’s thing and when she voiced that to him, he stopped (I’m taking each of them at their word here because it doesn’t matter to me). Open and Poly relationships don’t work for me, but they work for a lot of people I know. As long as there is consent – IDGAF.
