I picked Ashton because as lame as her campaign was, it had a bunch of ideas I really liked the sound of and want to hear more about in our politics. I'm sick of voting for the NDP just because they're the only other option. I'm not surprised she didn't win but I'm disappointed the party lined up behind a dude that seems to ooze the same kind of stand for nothing empty platitudes we got from the last two assholes who ran the joint into the ground

On the other hand, while Ashton has a lot of great ideas, she comes from a multi generational political family and hasn't actually done anything I can see to actually implement any of those ideas. On the other hand, she has been a giant whiny baby about someone getting bumped in the HoC and also took the low road when trying to get her dad elected as the MBNDP leader, while also falling in line with that 'believe the victim' bullshit that is all well and good until you or someone you love and care about has their life loving ruined because someone accused them of something and we live in a society where being accused of something publicly is enough to gently caress up someone's life forever, be it an accusation of a sexual nature or otherwise.

You're a misogynistic piece of poo poo and a large part of why so many sexual assaults go unreported. I remember during undergrad I looked at sexual assault statistics and came to the conclusion that for every false accusation there is anywhere between 500 and 1000 unreported sexual assaults.

'Oh no men might suffer a false accusation 1 time in 100, better institute a culture of victim blaming and guilt assigning that insures only 2 or 3% of sexual assaults are even reported!'

That's an extremely stupid false dichotomy you've concocted.

e.
Cops should listen and believe to the extent that it compels an investigation but there's a lot of space between that and saying its tolerable, and maybe even desirable, that an innocent person can have their life ruined by an allegation because too many guilty people get away with it.

e2.
Maybe it's a necessary evil, but it's still an evil.

It is really, amazingly, spectacularly, dangerously stupid to assert that because people in general are morons who don't bother doing their research or waiting for information, we should do literally anything that isn't taking every allegation seriously and investigating in good faith. It is not the fault of the many, many, many, many sexual assault victims in the world that other folks love a good crucifixion, and hamfistedly attempting to shape policy to preemptively protect people from these hypothetical consequences - which take place entirely outside the justice system and are largely beyond our control anyway - at the potential expense of actually pursuing and upholding the law and the citizens it protects is straight up dumb as poo poo.

If someone reports a crime, the police should seriously investigate the reported crime. How the gently caress does this suddenly become controversial solely and specifically in the case of rape

Ya you can eat a big loving can of poo poo if you want to get all 'Believe the Victim'. Being accused of something you didn't do can ruin your loving life. It's happened to me, it's happened to multiple family members. None of it sexual in nature, fortunately, but still it's lead to damaging family, finances, mental health and standing in the community.

I really hope each and every one of you that belittles the concept of innocent until proven guilty has your own day in the spotlight, complete with being perp walked out of your office in handcuffs, with seeing your name in the newspaper, with dreading what's going to happen if someone you've met becomes curious and Googles your name.

gently caress you.

Hey fucktard, ever think it's logical to believe the victim because sexual assaults are around 1000x more likely than a false accusation?

Innocent until proven guilty is an important part of the justice system. This doesn't mean that if a crime is reported by a victim it is far far far more likely to have occurred rather than just being some false accusation.

Yeah...well...social media can be detrimental and criminal privacy rights are very important; but discouraging sexual assault victims from speaking up doesn't solve those problems of privacy. Somewhere deep down past your rage that should make sense.

It's funny because the #IBelieveSurvivors/#IBelieveVictims are saying the same thing. If you're not a real survivor or real victim, they don't believe you, that would be silly but they only believe actual survivors. It's just possibly the most virtue signally thing ever created, worse than facebook profile flags I say. The emphasis isn't on Believe or Survivors, the emphasis is on the I.

I've heard this theory that in the 21st century parties / voters are motivated to elect leaders not based on their policies but to maximize the troll their adversaries in the other tribe. Rob Ford and Donald Trump are exhibits A and B.

Electing Trudeau could even been seen as a great troll of Harper and the West generally, who hate Pierre Trudeau with a passion. Singh could wind up being an even better troll of Conservatives, and that's why I think he might actually have a chance at forming a government.
