How democrats reacted to Tara's story is exactly why a lot of rape victims don't come out.
Lots of them are calling for her to testify under oath. She can get a lawyer, and have a deposition whenever she wants.

Well, you said you had no problem with Trump winning... why are you trying to minimize sexual assault?
Hell, you said you are even going to vote for Trump.
You also said your hatred for Biden isn't about sexual assault (or else you wouldn't want in), and your entire goal is to simply watch it all burn.
It's pretty fucking vile to use sexual assault victims (alleged) to further your political goals.
Biden cares enough to have funding for people like Reade, as part of his first 100 day plan.
No, neither Reade or her neighbor are being demonized by Biden. In fact, her neighbor is voting Biden.Those who care are the ones who are currently getting demonized for it.
No, Biden said to release records. All of his staff has been questioned and he has money to help people like Reade persecute, in his first 100 day plan. Biden didn’t reject her story, he simply stated he didn’t do it. His response to why she would claim it, Biden said he didn’t know. He didn’t accuse her of lying or anything of the sort. He provided no explanation for why she believes what she does.You're rejecting a woman's story based on some twitter posts she made. Ignoring that all her closest friends acknowledged her story, her closest family members acknowledging that she told the story right after it happened (and some of them discouraging her to come forward with it), and ignoring her mother being on video footage phoning in on a TV show to ask advice about it.
None of the women that think he was creepy, are accusing him of assault. He touches men the same way... there are numerous photos of him creeping up on Obama.Don't pretend you care either. And don't pretend you care about Trump being beaten in November either if you keep pushing Creepy "Can't-stop-touching-women" Joe as the nominee.

By saying to release records and voting unanimously for funding assault victim cases? Are you sure about that? Biden didn’t even call her a liar... or accuse her of anything. Just put funding for people like Reade, in his 100 day plan.
I’m waiting for the inevitable... ‘Biden is doing so much to assist Reade, he must be hiding something. Does not protest enough.’

No, she didn't. She thinks it's too late for an apology.
Though unrelated, is Meagan running her own site now? It's wild seeing the heir apparent to the most valuable hour of TV on the air can't even find a news outlet to pick her up after her career went down in flames when she tried her schtick outside of Fox.
Really? Have you looked in the mirror? What else do you want him to do, to help Reade?
Than why doesn’t GOP sign it? You have created a scenario, where there is nothing Biden can do, to defend a guy hiding records, NDAs, calling his assaulters ugly liars after his money. You so don’t care about women, you are arguing that money allocated for investigation and persecution is tantamount to bribing.Did you know many corporations donate a lot of money to environmentalist charities? Meanwhile they keep polluting the planet worse than anyone else.

It’s not easy... I’ve asked twice what he things Biden should do to help Reade. He can’t answer, due to the underlined.

I actually feel bad for Megyn Kelly, she's clearly an intelligent woman, and wanted to be taken seriously. She wasn't as bad as some of the other shit stains on Fox.
If she wants Biden to drop out, she sure as shit better be willing to go under oath, and should find that complain she claimed she made.

So...are we supposed to cancel AOC now?"It certainly seems as though something has happened. I'm not sure," Ocasio-Cortez told NPR's "Morning Edition" of the accusation by Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer for Joe Biden who accused the former vice president of sexually assaulting her in 1993. "Frankly, this is a messy moment, and I think we need to acknowledge that — that it is not clear cut."
I saw someone else make the point, I don't remember if it was on Reddit or in this thread but it was a good point and needs to be restated.
Yes, we should believe women.
No, we shouldn't blindly believe women.
The point being that we should take women's statements on their sexual assault and you know, actually investigate them. It makes me sad that we have people in this world who cannot understand this.
As it stands, the information we have at hand makes Reade not look credible and if there is one mistake that Joe Biden has made it's giving this complaint a shred of legitimacy by addressing it.
We can now just add to the pile of shit from Reade that she just wants Joe Biden to drop out. She doesn't want to pursue criminal charges, civil court, or anything of that nature. She just wants to disrupt the current political field for the Democrats. This benefits Trump and Russia and she has a history of pro-Russia statements. This whole thing is a fucking circus.
Between Reade and Murry, if there are any legitimate woman who have actually been harassed it's going to be much, much harder for them to come forward.
The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped form our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.
How does that help Reade? That helps you and you are using Reade for ideological gain. I asked, how does it help Reade?
Not what I asked... but, this proves my point.Just like the DNC is fearing exactly like it might happen.
Yeah, I’m voting against Trump either way.The future of the USA is on the line, don't put all your eggs in a single creepy basket.![]()

Nah, its on the DNC whether he should drop out or not. Its the DNC's problems. Not yours or anybody outside the party.

If she straight up says she does not believe Tara, yes Do you think this somekind of gotcha? Just because you liberals have no standards. That, again, does not apply to everybody.

I can just feel the seething rage that clouds your mind when you typed out liberals. You probably nearly broke the L key hitting it so hard twice.
It makes me laugh because you somehow think it is a dirty, insulting, and offensive word.
It reminds me of this time when I was in China. Some dude insulted me. Or I should say, some dude tried to insult me. He called me a Cheeseburger-eating American.
I could only laugh at his idiocy because I am a Cheeseburger-eating American and there is nothing wrong with that. Cheeseburgers are amazing.
I laughed at him much the same way I laugh at you when you use LIBERAL like it's some dirty word.
Pathetic, haha.
