Flake/Kavanaugh thing. AOC also brought her to the SOTU.Quote:

I wonder if Democrats recognize or even care about the bad optics of this. I don't mean that the highest levels of Democrats in VA are rapists and racists, that's bad enough. But that when a white woman was accusing someone of rape a few months ago they all came out strongly in defense of the woman and made sure she was heard and that it was in the news 24/7 for months. When a black woman says she was raped they all but ignore or say they haven't heard anything about it.
I can only assume they don't care nearly as much because you're not looking at a lifetime appointment to arguably the most prestigious position within government.
I mean - I don't tend to care or follow what some random politician in North Dakota is up to.
It's not like either side, Republicans or Democrats has clean records when it comes to sexual assault. Shit - our president has been accused of sexual assault, paying off porn stars, etc.
Keep pushing that morale high ground tho.
Clearly that's the reason, that's like the entire point everyone on the right was making during the Kavanaugh fiasco. But from their perspective they just care about the #MeToo movement and that's why they cared, well if that's the case they should care equally about the rapist acting as Lt Gov in VA as well.Quote:

Don't act like Republicans were just sitting back saying "He's one of us so we don't care!" The argument by and large was mere accusations, especially ones that are 40+ years old that the accuser can't even remember important details about, shouldn't be enough to ruin someone's career and good name. Rather than Democrats saying "Hey, good point, let's have a discussion about this" they doubled down, shoved their fingers in their ears, and said Kavanaugh is a rapist and anyone who supports him is a rape apologist. Why the fuck shouldn't I throw this in their faces? They had plenty of time to wise up when it wasn't happening to them. But as per usual Democrats push a narrative for months then once it goes against them they want to say it's different this time.Quote:

I'll give Democrats partial credit here, after initially giving Northam a pass most eventually came around and said he should resign, but there are still some out there who support him.
What's worse? Apathy about someone accused of rape. Or being great friends with a convicted pedophile? One where you state this:
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it–Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
Some issues shouldn't be politicized. Neither side here has an upper ground. Both claim they have it. You can keep overlooking what the actions of the top Republican - but screaming about racism and shit doesn't work when the top Republican has a history of it.
Wait.. so your excuse for this type of behavior to Kavanaugh was "Well, the President has a history of it"?Quote:
