Bearded Pete w/ progressive archnemesis Lis Smith will reactivate their campaign if Biden looks to be cratering like that. So will Warren. They are still on all the ballots.
I understand there's more at stake than Biden specifically but finding out the guy is a rapist is really horrifying. It's not like a political stance I disagree with or a bad turn of phrase. To do such a thing with such callousness is deflating and cannot be divorced with the candidate and party.
The idea of another Trump term is galling but to have the other option be Biden has me feeling a sort of "both sides" bleakness I haven't felt before.
Literally not how voting works. Can none of you spouting this line realise that people choosing not to vote out of moral principle doesn't make them morally inferior to you?
I hate knowing what's all at stake and that he's our only option. I've been internally livid for weeks.
User Banned (3 Months): Dismissing allegations of sexual assault, conspiracy theorizing across multiple posts
This is a tricky one. The inclination is to believe accusers, but at the same time her documented fawning over Putin and mockery of Mueller is a massive red flag given the general election opponent and his barely concealed allegiances.
I was probably just gonna vote Biden in the general purely on the basis of harm reduction
Now...maybe I'll just vote down-ballot in November
Now...maybe I'll just vote down-ballot in November
I can't wait to hear about those damn Bernie busters not voting for a rapist for the next 4 years
I mean, probably.
It's established that boomers don't care at all about sexual crime allegations.
User Banned (2 months): Casting aspersions on allegations of sexual assault
That coupled with her strong support of Sen. Sanders and complete 180 on her previous claims can't help but cause some degree of suspicion.
Yep. Have any big names said/posted/tweeted about it? It needs more exposure, he needs to be dragged.
Both sides care in a way, just one side instantly in a approving way.
Yes. Several (now conveniently deleted) Medium posts from Tara Reade.
This is the only thing that makes me uncomfortable :(
it's so damn frustrating
It sucks, yeah. And I fully agree if the DNC thought there was anything to this they should dump Biden immediately but we saw how well protest votes turned out four years ago and we're well on our way to repeat.
Yeah.
The Dem Primary thread being a prime example.
This is just so fucking gross.
Its worse than that, already seeing some on twitter suggesting she's a Russian plant that was set up by bernie supporters. Don't know how libs got the idea that Bernie is in league with Russia but yeah,
She supports the candidate who didn't rape her. Big shock.
Are you going to mention she supported Warren as well?
It'll need to be picked up by more news outlets to affect polling. If you support Biden, you'd probably want this to come into the national spotlight now instead of later in the year, COVID-19 burying everything else as far as headlines.

Lol jesus christ. Yes. Its Russia shit that a rape victim is recounting her trauma to the world against a serial sexual predator.
I had hopes we could get Trump out of office this year, but this pretty much confirms to me we are getting 4 more years.
Hate me if you want, but when you are out there tweeting with #BernieIsOurFDR as you share some unprecedented bombshell take down of his main political opponent, you are inviting some degree of skepticism towards your claims.
Same. I thinking of voting for Biden purely as an anti-Trump statement, now I think I'll vote Green (I live in California anyways).
Anyone saying that is either easily fooled or a jackass rapist apologist. There's no in between. It's unacceptable to bring up "b-b-buh RUSSIA" when a person was raped and is brave enough to come forward about it.
