Nah, come on. Tell us what conclusive evidence there is that Joe Biden raped Reade.

You don't have any. All you have is a bunch of conflicting accounts from people from Reade's past, each of whom were carefully coached before they talked to the media.

Look, if Reade testifies under oath like Dr. Ford did, I will 100% believe her just like I believed Dr. Ford. So far though, the entire thing looks to have been designed to linger for the longest amount of time without any actual resolution, because whoever is behind the story knows that it will fester amongst both conservatives and disillusioned bernie bros. We are seeing the evidence of the latter in this very thread.

“I feel like doing x. Should I?” “Yeah”Is all that happened for one guy.
It was dumb for that guy to answer but it does not mean that writer carefully coached every witness.

Especially since we have a witness(plus another possibly)who came independently without Tara asking her.

That's... pretty straightforward? At the time I had that conversation with said friend, Dr. Ford had already given her testimony under oath, and Kavanaugh's defense had very clear and obvious gaps and contradictions that shed doubt on what he was claiming. That's when the American Bar Association and the Jesuit Magazine came out against Kavanaugh. Which my friend still did not think was good enough, and went on that tirade, and declared that the only evidence he was willing to accept was actual "hard" evidence like a video or a photo showing the assault occurring. So I got frustrated and posted the email that you quoted.

I already described it: believe all women, take their accusations seriously and do your due diligence by investigating thoroughly.

It doesn't mean "believe everything they are saying immediately and without any further question, and start calling the accuser a 'rapist'".

You understand that, don't you?

Not direct witnesses, but her neighbor (a longtime Biden supporter) came forward a couple days ago and said "Yeah, Tara told me about it in the mid-90's."

It really sounds to me like there's no amount of evidence short of a video or a photo of Biden sexually assaulting someone that you will accept.

The evidence against Joe Biden seems if anything a little stronger than the evidence against Kav. I mean, in addition to contemporary testimony we have copious video evidence of Joe publicly being an enormous creep to women.

So what is your suggestion, then?

Keep in mind that a sworn testimony does not have to be a public spectacle like Dr. Ford's. It can happen behind closed doors, in front of a grand jury (for example).

Or maybe some of us understand that the country as a whole is not cspam and rose twitter and we need to build up a ground movement in the states and locals to change the way that the federal goverment looks. And that electing the orange shithead for 4 more years is going to cost many of us our healthcare and lives and possible start a war because he poo poo himself this morning and blamed (insert asian or middle east country)

For people that progress to be progressive you are wildly unable to look past your own group and ideals. There is more to the world and to this country then the echo chamber you keep your head in. You need to look at the local levels to enact an actual change, and because we don't have a literal propaganda arm in fox news and the koch brothers it builds slowly. We have seen the effects that a buildup and network can cause in Virginia, and it should serve as the bedrock for what we do across the country, not this idiotic and stupid attacking that is going on because people can't comprehend that the majority of the country does not think the way you do.
