Politics Tara Reade

The Democrats made all those points very clear......and it gained them absolutely nothing. A large segment of society didn’t care.....which makes it very clear (at least to me) that the Democrats have learned their lesson (such as it is). Politicians have ALWAYS said what people wanted to hear, and what made themselves look good. And then failed to follow through. You are correct; nothing to see here. Business as usual (not that that makes it palatable). I’m not sure why we should be the least bit surprised....or if we even have a right to be disappointed anymore.

 

The bolded part is just based on the Biden campaign's statements and the discussion that came out this week about VP candidates. Certainly that's not necessarily the Party's position, but their response has been pretty much crickets so far.

I don't know Ms. Reade's motivations any more than you do. Could be something nefarious, but it could also be that she just doesn't want to see the guy that she says assaulted her get elected as President of the United States.

 

Let me ask you this, if you're a woman and believed the talk that the Dems have made about supporting women's issues, how does it make you feel if they do squat on the Biden accusation?

 

I could maybe buy into that except for that the guy has been a senator that won his election to remain a senator since 1973. Then he was appointed as vice president since 2008 to 2016. And then rumors were circulating well in advancd that Biden was possibly going to toss his hat in and during all that time, no objection. Being vice president is a very small step to possibly becoming a president by default and yet no complaint. That seems a bit odd that she wants to now make it an issue. If her motivation was to stop Biden from being prersident, why would she be ok with him as a senator and then VP for over 20+ years since the incident? Doesn't seem to add up.

 

This is such a ..?????? statement mags....plenty of republicans empathize with the movement and the advocates who brought it to the table aren't political parties at all, period.....they are victims or accusers...you're basically saying to be Catholic makes you a pedophile ...prove it has always existed....so has payola and hush money..so has perjury for profit..it's not cut and dried into two little political groups

 

It could be as simple that the #MeToo movement and the courage of other women, coupled with Biden now coming out of the primaries as the presumptive Dem candidate, made the time right for her. While we all have questions when one of these decades-old accusations comes up, any woman willing to put up with all of the crap that comes with making such an accusation deserves the right to be listened to. She's offered to make a statement under oath, presumably in a setting where Biden's attorneys could question her motivation. Seems pretty courageous to me, and deserving of being heard. It could turn out that her accusations break down under questioning. It could be that it's simply too long ago and there isn't any way to get to a final conclusion. Maybe she's very credible and the Dems decide that Biden needs to be dumped. Any of those scenarios seem better to me than just moving into the fall campaign with this accusation hanging.

 

Wrong. The Democrat Party has openly become the advocate of the #MeToo movement. Some Republicans empathizing it doesn’t mean it’s part of their platform. Nowhere in this article does it bring up any prominent Republican. You show me any article where Republicans embraced the movement.

Good afternoon, Sly.

 

Wrong....the world has advocated for the #Metoo movement...the only folks who haven't are mysogynstic assholes or sexual abusers..that's not a flaw if the Dems publicly support it in anyone's view...just really fishing for anti Dem bait...I think we all know the Metoo movement isn't the GOP platform

 

It's a start. Nowhere near enough, but a start nonetheless.

 

Then it shouldn’t be a problem at all finding a prominent Republican that advocated the #MeToo movement. I’ll wait...

 

I’d probably think, “Same shit, different day”.

 

you just proved his point for him lmao

 

Blasey-Ford actusally trestified, got railed by republicans and all it got her is her allegations swept under the rug. You are also making a lot of assumptions about her motivation without anything to substantiate it. Sorry, hard to put much stock into your theories. I'm a big advocate for womens rights as I grew up in a family of 3 sisters and have 2 daughters myself and a granddaughter, but if women want to protect those rights, then they need to act in a more reasonable time frame so the allegations can be thoroughly investigated and real time facts can be checked. Also, going to the hospital/ doctor and having some testing done immediately regardless of if you want to make it public or not should be the minimum.

 

He proved my point by saying those that didn’t advocate for the #MeToo movement are assholes? Lol

yeah, nothing like tribalism at its finest.

 

That's some good ole fashion BS right there.......
