I mean, I guess I’d lean more to the side of “Biden lost all credibility after seeing videos of him groping literally dozens of women.” but go off.

I expect you to have a long-winded bad take on literally any topic, so thanks for being predictable.

Just going through a victim’s statements, seeing if there’s anything she has ever said that you disagree with or could be used to smear her with, even if it’s irrelevant to her accusation.

You can’t think of a single reason why someone might get the wrong idea about countries that oppose the US when they’re watching their rapist be a beloved vice president? Her writings about Russia are dumb but you’re also arguing that she can’t be a rape victim because she had unamerican thoughts.

Not all victims are going to fit in a nice little box. U can call her out on her messed up beliefs and still support her as a rape victim. 

Seriously, “look what she said about Putin, she must be lying” is almost like something I would see from a parody of some #Resistance boomer weirdo.

Reading the comments is pretty sad. Not every sexual assault victim has a spotless past and a tearful, ready-for-Lifetime story. Maybe that lady who was a bitch to you at work is also a victim, and it doesn’t make it any less bad. Maybe the guy you always see holding weird libertarian signs was molested. It’s still…

Like Dr. Ford should have come forward before the Supreme Court nomination? Sometimes that's the way it works. You just want to live like it didn't happen until the stakes get too high and you feel like you have to step up.

Which would be easier to discuss if so many of them weren’t deleting their old Kavanaugh tweets en masse...

Whatever it takes to convince yourself, I guess.

Biden is a known sex pest who has no problem treating women like shit (just ask Anita Hill). I think it's extremely likely the accusations are true.

Liberals are throwing the “why now” attack at Tara. Which is the EXACT thing slung at Dr. Ford.

Seen a lot of people ignoring this. Kudos for writing about it. Tara deserves to be heard.

I don’t expect anyone to swallow anything, but yeah, I live in a swing state and wanted to do what I could to keep Trump from winning it. I volunteered for Obama in ‘08 and ‘12 as well. The person I am now wouldn’t make the same choices today (2016 was, I think, my last dance with boilerplate liberalism, and I’ve…

That should be pretty condemning in any world, I’d think, but as someone who voted (and canvassed, much to my current embarrassment — 2016 was a difficult time) for her, I don’t really know. Maybe ask some Libyan or Iraqi or Honduran or Haitian or Syrian or Palestinian kids instead.

Yes, my need to maybe not kill a million Iraqis or drop 26,000+ bombs in a year on seven countries with whom we’re not at war or spend more money on the military than the next ten countries combined or toss the lives of the world’s browner people into constant chaos to make a few bucks and maintain our absurd position…

Ok, you can have your stance? I’m gonna keep mine, and keep organizing to make it a more prominent one. 

I organize with the people who’re the left end of Sanders’ support base. Yeah, they care about FP, and it’s one of the major reasons for that (qualified) support. I dunno what to tell you — this stuff matters to people, though of course I wish it mattered to more of them. It’s incumbent upon the left to make that…

I don’t really care? It’s one of the areas where the president actually has a direct say and one where we’ve been doing terrible shit for the entirety of modern history, so it’s kind of, you know, important! We’re currently bombing what, seven, eight countries right now and are on the brink of war at this very moment…

I don’t dislike Warren at all, and if the realm of presidential politics were restricted entirely to domestic policy, I might vote for her. She’s a proud capitalist and I’m most certainly not, but I’m not so blinkered as to pretend we don’t live in a capitalist nation, and until we can change the realities around us…
