I know everyone is different and people handle tragic things in their own way.

Her next appearance will be on Maury, I’m sure.
As evidence, you need look no further than Reade’s own Twitter timeline. Before she became a big-time Sanders supporter, she strongly supported Biden, including praising his work towards halting violence towards women.
Maybe we should also point out, since this is the actual end-game and saying otherwise is disingenuous at best:
And the female lawyers and journalists who are actually working to bring these cases to light don’t say, “Believe women” means, “Every accusation is the absolute truth, full stop.”
This is the correct take. As important as “believe all women” is as a movement and a state of mind, I’m inclined to think “investigate all accusations” is a safer method.
This. I default to believing women and I’ve represented victims. But I will not believe when the story lacks all credibility. It drives me nuts when people question victims because their story “changes,” and it is nitpicks like she said the guy was wearing a purple shirt but it was indigo! However, the constant…
I don’t know if she’s telling the truth or not, but can we stop pretending polygraph tests are anything but bullshit? They certainly aren’t “lie detectors.”
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.
Biden was forceful in his denial. Tara Reade is forceful in her story. I doubt they moved the needle for anyone who wasn’t already on their respective sides. Will this blog writers like to help out here? How is someone supposed to defend themselves without a “a shallow MeToo gloss”? Biden himself has been respectful.…
This. 100%. There are no perfect candidates. If Mr. Fucking Rogers ran for office, people wouldn’t vote for him because he seems so nice he must be weak, or his opponents would start a campaign that said he hangs around children, so, well, you know...
Allegations by a Putin ass kisser who was going to be interviewed on Fox News.
Here’s the thing - I suspect for most readers of this “supposedly feminist website”, Joe Biden was not their first (or second, third or fourth) choice, but alas, we are a small sample size of the larger electorate who, through a democratic process, elected him to be the Democratic candidate in 2020, so here we are.…
Yeah , I don’t quite understand why people aren’t unified over the idea that Pretty Much Any Democrat is better than Pretty Much Any Republican at this point.
(like that she “changed her story,” when she really didn’t)
Oh good, another article attacking the Democratic candidate based on thirty year old, unconfirmed allegations. Might as well vote third party so Trump gets another four years. That’ll show those moderates.
