That goes a long way.
Yes Tara Reade is so much closer to closing the book on her pain after that.

At least the man she accused of sexually assaulting her insisted that she be heard.

Goes a long way.

10/10.

10/10 people who know Tara Reade think she was full of shit.

I don’t blame her. The opportunity was there to make some serious money from some very desperate conservatives.

I don't doubt the possibility that she was a fraud. Not at all.

But the democrats are the listen and believe party. Those are the constituents they courted.

The pussy hat people.

I'm really not sure a political sidestep was the best way to handle it.

I haven’t heard the name Tara Reade since the accusations came out and quickly fizzled, until now.

On your side of the aisle, it's been ostensibly put underwater, discredited, dismissed, dragged through the mud and then cast into norton's basket of deplorables.

But hey, Joe Biden was nice to her.

Translated: I'll be a specious bureaucrat like I always have, pretend to platform her and then wave as I drive ofr.

I just want consistency out of the party of feminism. One of the two parties living by its proposed plethora of ethos would be nice.

i can get behind this, much like repubs claim to be the fiscally responsible party.

Right. It's a bullshit claim that they make to justify all their cockblocking of programs that could actually benefit people.

Tara Reade (who I think should be heard) is just one vote.
The way the Biden team handled it was a textbook way to sidestep it, without stepping in it.

You know why victims of assault/harassment hated trump? Because he used the playbook of intimidation and traumatization.

I hope The Fish is doing OK in real life. Seems like a guy who has high blood pressure.

It’s like he’s not really reading anyone else’s posts all the way. Just skimming and rage smashing his kid’s Gateway keyboard that they found in a yard sale.

You read on the internet that some member reads a troll post and goes on a rampage smashing things having a heart attack and you think that of me?
NO!
I am the one who trolls.

How about the textbook of feminism?

How about the textbook of listen and believe?

Is Tara Reade a person who should be listened to and believef or is she a vote to be sidestepped?

I'm still waiting for a response from you that isn't shit.

Hurry.

I'm 51 and getting older by the second.

Tara Reade has a right to speak to her experiences without fear of retaliation.

So she had a right to speak.

But not to be listened to.

Not believed.

Not taken seriously.

By the party of feminism.

How quickly we become specious body catchers when principles are no longer convenient.

People are free to draw thier own conclusions about her allegations.

Mine is that the 'listen and believe' party doesn't walk the walk when they most need to.

When it's one of their own not living by the principles they virtue flexed to the rest of us.

Only some bought in.

Are you genuinely concerned about Ms Reade or just typing a lot of text to score some superfluous political point?

I'm trying to understand how you can excuse the DNC's handling of this matter when they are a party that touted progressive values as part of their platform to election.

Or do Black Lives only matter once every four years?

Figure your shit out, norton. Because its clear that you're just as happy being a convenient virtue flexer when you need to win something and that is antithetical to the principles that undergird virtue itself.

I’m happy with how the DNC handled Biden. Unhappy how they handled Franken.

“Trust but verify”

And in Reade’s case, verification failed.

Trust but verify isn't the promise the DNC made.

It may be how they ACTED.

But it's not the steak we were promised.
