This chick is an absolute nutjob/liar/con artist.
Kavanaugh had two accusers, and one of those was without question not credible.
I'm impressed that Ph went from a simple misinterpretion to such a well developed straw man argument. To be clear, when I said "I don't give a shit about legalism" I was saying that my good faith belief in Tara Reade isn't based on the legal standards required to put Biden on trial. I never said anything as stupid and ridiculous as "rapists shouldn't go to trial". Just because Tara Reade's allegations are unverifiable doesn't mean she is lying. At this point I don't think Tara Reade has any substantiating evidence to which she could even make criminal or civil charges.
But you think that's enough that Biden should drop out of the race. Yeah OK.
Let's be real, MDMH. If some suburban mom accused Bernie of rape, you'd claim it was a centrist conspiracy to bring Bernie down.
birdman, thanks for the very reasonable take on this.
I don't think this is true.
I mean at this point if you're assigning any credibility to Reade's story than it's hard to believe you don't have an ax to grind. Even her earlier stories about Biden warning her to serve drinks and show off her legs has been contradicted by several people said the Biden went out of his way not to use women or staff members for duties at these kind of events.

This is the kind of shit that turns me off from Democratic politics
Markey is a popular Senator, 37 years in Congress, but he co-sponsors GND and immediately gets primaried by a do-nothing Kennedy
The DCCC blackballed anyone who primaried a sitting Congressperson from the left in 2018, but they're bankrolling Kennedy
