It doesn’t matter how far to the left Biden moves. He could adopt, campaign on, and argue for Bernie Sanders’s entire platform, and people will say he’s not “authentic enough” or he had to be “dragged into it” or whatever. Maybe there will even be snake emojis.

It’s like you all are reading two different universes of news. Biden is in a strong position and Trump in an incredibly and historically weak position for an incumbent; Klobuchar is not the frontrunner for the the vice presidency; multiple media, left, right, center and otherwise investigated the Tara Reade story and…

Don’t be ridiculous all it took was Elizabeth Warren claiming he said something that could be interpreted as casual sexism to make all of Tara’s now-defenders start frothing at the mouth because it’s not about Tara or if she was assaulted it’s about the glorious revolution that will overthrow the capitalist system and…

Agreed. But it’s pretty amusing to watch her aim beyond her reach confidently. She gives zero fucks like a white male who won the privilege lottery. For a hot minute people were considering the mayor of a 100k “city” for president, so we can’t be too mad at her.

Mainly because Abrams would be the first VP in fifty years without gubernatorial, federal, or military experience, so no one except Abrams is hyping her because it’s a bad fucking idea.

Again, and respectfully, you being inspired by one of the choices here is irrelevant. is less than ideal. I’m sorry your candidate of choice didn’t make the cut. My candidate of choice didn’t make the cut. My second choice didn’t make the cut. Biden is less than ideal, but Trump is literally trying to destroy the…

In an ordinary year people don’t start really paying attention to the campaign until after the summer...aaaaaaand this is no ordinary year...right now people are focused on food, shelter and staying healthy. Quite frankly the best thing Biden can do right now is work assemble his team and work on the crafting the campa…

Exactly. She’s made it pretty clear she has no interest in the Presidency.

It makes me respect her even more. 

Biden is an easy target because he has a rep of being “handsy” unfortunately but her timing immediately made me think this was very calculated (in addition to the points you made). He announced he was running a long time ago when we had a very diverse pool of candidates to choose from. She didn’t think she should say…

“Hell, SHE should run.”

Came here to say this. Enough with “Believe All Women.” The hashtag should be “Investigate All Accusations.” It applies urgency and importance to the matter, but it also ensures that accusers who aren’t being 100% truthful get their shit called out.

party big wigs aren’t pressed about Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation (an alarming precedent for those who come forward with credible accusations against powerful men,

How are Tara Reade’s allegations credible? She said one year ago that she didn’t even think the issue she had with Biden was sexual harassment, that it was more being disrespected because she was a woman, and now a year later she, what, remembered, that she was not only harassed but sexually assaulted? She can’t…

All of this.

I think most people are being cautious of her story because it keeps changing. The reports I’ve read have mentioned how she’ll ignore follow up questions or how even the stories of her friends will change to correspond with her changing story. 

There’s only so many ways you can say “when we said ‘vote blue no matter who,’ we assumed it would be Bernie and now we’re super pissed it’s not”

I don’t see Democrats treating the vice presidential selection process like a beauty contest/shallow reality TV show; Jezebel is doing that all by itself.

dude, just give one of them the damn rose already

If I wanted to combat the notion that my sexual assault accusation was politically motivated, I don’t think I’d hire a prominent Trump donor to represent me, then recruit Megyn Kelly to interview me.

omfg...just when you thought “what else does this story need -- it’s already riddled with contradictions” ASSOCIATED PRESS comes thru with this
