Yeah let's allow the GOP to rule instead, destroying millions of lives and regressing society in uncountable ways.If Biden is the best the Democrats can come up with maybe the party should call it a day?
Hopefully something better would arise from the ashes of the democratic party.Yeah let's allow the GOP to rule instead, destroying miions of lives and regressing society in uncountable ways.
You can listen to the woman herself (trigger warning: explicit detail of sexual assault):
This is my hope.Hopefully something better would arise from the ashes of the democratic party.
Hey now, some of those skeletons are close friends. Like Strom Thurmond.For Once, can we get a leader without skeletons in their fucking closet?
Jesus.
That won't be this year. And we can't afford it since Supreme Court justices have to be replaced.Hopefully something better would arise from the ashes of the democratic party.
Holy shit.This is fucking horrific, and I think it goes far beyond what people are aware of with Biden's sexual assault history.
Maybe FliXFantatier could directly add the soundcloud link? I think more people really need to hear this. I recognize that there's a link in the first reply, but I think many people may still miss it.

We're still in a primary friend, we still have the chance stop this monster. Even if we can't, we can vote downballot in other important races and not vote for either rapist.
I mean, Obama had no skeletons that we know of. So, there's that.For Once, can we get a leader without skeletons in their fucking closet?
Jesus.
I would go out on a limb and say most voters are not even aware of this, and will probably remain unaware of this, and are probably not particularly aware of anything surrounding pre-Obama Biden. Unfortunately based on how sexual assault is treated in this country, I would guess that a large portion of people are not going to care about an accusation from 30 years ago.The fucks wrong with even the Democrats? How did you guys choose this guy as your candidate?
Basically been my stance on Biden.And welcome to what many minorities and black people have been doing since were were allowed to vote: choosing the least evil of the two politicians is a fact of life for us since we have been allowed to vote.
Trump will not. Even he recognizes that bringing this up will bring his own skeletons back out.This is one of those situations in which all one can really do is hope that Biden has genuinely improved as a person. NOT excusing his behavior, but just suggesting that we at least attempt to look at who Biden is today, and base our vote for him on that. If not, then this will become the new "but her emails" (yes, I know what Biden did is MUCH worse), Trump will capitalize on it, and then the rest is history.
Exactly.And welcome to what many minorities and black people have been doing since the beginning of the republic to: choosing the least evil of the two politicians is a fact of life for us since we have been allowed to vote.
Yup. And it's something that many white liberals and the youth especially need to understand if they even think about 'abstaining' in voting.
That won't be this year. And we can't afford it since Supreme Court justices have to be replaced.
we're talking gay marriage being overturned, abortion being made illegal, and Obamacare being rolled back.

Biden as of less than year ago brushed all his behavior off as "social norms changing" and didn't apologize to anyone.This is one of those situations in which all one can really do is hope that Biden has genuinely improved as a person.

Americans aren't exactly known for their taste in political candidates.what a creep.. the part of the nation that had plenty of choice in the primary and still chose this creep over plenty of perfectly fine candidates don't have their priorities straight.
The rest pays for this by having to vote for him, for the good of the country, instead of being able to have an actually defendable candidate.
As always. And several posts in this thread give us a clue as to why.And yet again, women are thrown to the side or trampled over in the whole thing. US politics as usual then.
What does the DNC have to do with anything? DNC doesn't pick the nominee.What the fuck. This is so much worse than regular Biden touchiness. This is straight up rape.
There's no way the DNC doesn't know about this right? Are they just betting that it won't matter?
If this is truly as bad as it seems, shouldn't the party do something to nominate someone else? Just because Biden seems the de facto nominee doesn't mean anything until the convention right?
Great very apt post.And welcome to what many minorities and black people have been doing since the beginning of the republic: choosing the least evil of the two politicians is a fact of life for us since we have been allowed to vote.
Doubt. It seems the Democrats learned nothing in the last four years except "we gotta push our own rapist as the candidate!"That's something people should have been thinking about while pushing Biden hardcore. His inappropriate behavior towards women and girls was no secret but his continuation of the economic status quo was more important to the many wealthy people who have the ability to put their thumbs on the scales. If Biden is the nominee we will get 4 more years of Trump. Hopefully the country is still salvageable after that and the Democratic Party does proper introspection but I won't be holding my breath.
Its not like this stuff wasn't known way ahead of this point. They knew, and they still decided to coalesce around him.If this is truly as bad as it seems, shouldn't the party do something to nominate someone else? Just because Biden seems the de facto nominee doesn't mean anything until the convention right?
Biden as of less than year ago brushed all his behavior off as "social norms changing" and didn't apologize to anyone.
I would assume it needs to be thoroughly vetted before it will get picked up by the media. Even Fox News hasn't reported it.Is this getting any traction in the mainstream media? Because Coronavirus or not, it should be.
Bernie may not win the primary but there's still time to keep Biden from getting the needed amount of delegates to win and if this shit blows up, we can hopefully get somebody better in a contested convention.
I love Bernie and Warren but at this point pretty much anyone outside of Bloomberg would be an improvement.
Also, thanks to Deep Water for posting that audio.
This will never happen since that would mean a Bernie win and the establishment can't stand to pay what they owe.
Anita Hill didn't accuse Clarence Thomas of sexual assault -- she accused him of running a hostile workplace with rampant sexual harassment (from him) and unwanted advances (also from him)
I'm not downplaying that, and I'm only motivated to correct it because you lumped him together with Kavanaugh who was accused of raping multiple women. It gives the impression that Kavanaugh's appointment is just business as usual when it is actually a huge (yet natural) escalation
Unfortunately, many people will attempt to sweep this under the rug in some kind of effort to defeat Trump.Is this getting any traction in the mainstream media? Because Coronavirus or not, it should be.

Biden dropping out would not mean Bernie gets to be the nominee. Bernie got crushed in the primaries. Democratic voters overwhelmingly rejected Bernie. Biden's delegates would align with someone moderate like Biden.This will never happen since that would mean a Bernie win and the establishment can't stand to pay what they owe.
Maybe now people will understand why attacking Trump on him being a rapist was not terribly effective.That won't be this year. And we can't afford it since Supreme Court justices have to be replaced.

Biden will get destroyed by Trump when debate time comes up. Their only hope is to swap out Biden at the conventionwell, the objective is to beat Trump... we live in a time where being a sexual harasser does not make you a bad candidate (specially against Trump!) so the Dems will just keep going with Biden as their candidate. And hope that he can finish his sentences more often than not.
