Gloria Allred's MO is getting Gloria Allred's name in headlines and I'm incredibly wary of this.

Yeah seriously- I made this mistake initially but let’s not let ourselves be intellectually lazy just because it makes a good rhetorical point. We can say it hardly effects Keurig’s bottom line compared to low-key supporting a pedophile apologist, but it’s not some win for Keurig that already purchased machines are getting destroyed- those are loss leaders.

Um...ok? No one said it was a win for them--we said it wouldn't affect them at all and the idiots who are doing this are essentially destroying a valuable piece of property out of spite.

Having Gloria Allred there is not going to change the amount of poo poo this poor woman is about to be dragged through. She's still going to be doxxed and she's still gonna get death threats from the troglodytes. Allred can at least be a powerful ally for her.

PhazonLink posted:

Other way around, actually! Mel Carnahan, the Democrat, died in a plane crash before the election--and he still managed to beat Ashcroft at the polls.

Of course, Ashcroft became AG in the Bush Administration, so he got a nice golden parachute.

Not all criticism of a woman need be rooted in misogyny, and simply being a woman does not place someone above criticism.

There’s a nice talking point buried between Roy Moore’s candidacy and Trump’s apparent emphasis on ‘extreme vetting’, isn’t there? Like ‘haha Republicans can’t even vet their own party candidates of pedophilia, let alone terrorists’.

Ok but the criticism has included calling her a gorilla, complaining she gets too much money for her clients and that "her tactics don't work according to my opinion."

So not exactly the best evidence that these criticisms are coming from a place of honest reflection.

No, moderates are becoming disillusioned. Moore was the Bannon-backed candidate and he beat out Strange despite Trump endorsing Strange. In blood red Republican states I predict we'll see another Tea Party-esque wave but for Bannon if they remained organized. They'll likely be less successful for lack of money, but Republican base voters are happy to keep things trending further into fascism.

Breitbart has been steadily losing sponsors and more importantly unique traffic since trumps election and that's only been continuing as people generally reject Bannon's style of trash. Eventually Breitbart, if it doesn't just shutter outright, is going to become Freep2 in terms of relevancy and political weight. Sure this will only more radicalize their own base, but that base is going to be a tiny tiny subset of people.

Decades of smears have people who are certain that they're not The Bad People still believing and parroting poo poo about Gloria Allred.

I still can't believe people thought this. We need to get rid of Nancy Pelosi, one of the most efficient, effective caucus leaders the party HAS, because Republicans don't like her. This was literally the line people used to justify it--and that opportunistic little turd Tim Ryan from Ohio took advantage.

yes, but keurig targets the commercial and office market. keurig as a coffee brewing method is best suited for when you have to provide a range of choices to people and you want to minimize brewing time and cleanup. there's not much point to having a keurig at home unless you're a lazy rear end. home consumers might drink one or two cups a day but any decently sized office could go through boxes of them in a week
