why is "we shouldn't tolerate sex pests in our party" such a loving contentious opinion to so many people

Unfortunately a lot of people think "we shouldn't tolerate sex pests" is negotiable when the sex pest is part of their favorite team, and believe in their heart of hearts that it's mainly useful as a cudgel against political enemies or politically inconvenient people, which is why a surprising amount of people think it's fine to talk about Cuomo or Franken but not Biden.

the photo where he’s hover-handsing over a Flak jacket is not a depiction of sexual assault and it’s demeaning to real victims to group them together.

I see what you mean, but (a) this is the least of what he did, (b) I don't think it's helpful to separate sexual abuse stories by which are most valid or horrifying.

Even if we concede that Franken's offenses are not as bad as Harvey Weinstein's, both of them come from the same place of entitlement to women's bodies. Franken is just a lower step on the same ladder. We don't get to Weinstein without first making allowances for the Frankens of the world.

edit: just saw ur apology post bust! i wrote mine while you were posting yours. no worries and i still respect your opinion

because we had to elect Biden, he was the only possible option.

I’m sorry for bringing up Franken, I think we should aim to create a safer space for women everywhere and I apologize for my bad opinion.

I was really just responding to the article I was quoting and not your posts

the GOP absolutely jumped on and weaponized the franken thing, I think that's undeniable. but it was still gross behavior lol

The media double standard on politician sex crime in regards to Democrats is so odious that I get the feeling that Franken could have survived the multiple allegations if it weren’t for the photo

But 15 years ago he just had to prove Liberals Suck Off The Troops More Than Conservatives And Will Also Kiss Them Goodnight and Bam he sunk himself

I appreciate that the line for "Biden has not stopped putting kids in cages" is now "oh but there are lawyers and doctors there now"

politically speaking, the only thing he did wrong was feeling bad enough about it to resign. he lacked the utter shamelessness necessary to shrug off sexual assault allegations.

federal prison is actually a nicely regulated cakewalk vs state prison

make sure you go down with a federal crime rather than getting stuck in state

lmao im corresponding with a high school buddy of mine who is currently in federal lock-up on gun charges who also did time in state prison (iowa) and he's of the opinion the feds are worse. dude says he has a tumor growing and the infirmary won't see him. also, the food is rotten and everyone has to survive from the commissary.

i got a letter from him yesterday and it says (he's not exactly up on the "im just a bill" song explaining how bills are made and what presidents do) the federal prisoners are mad they haven't gotten their money yet lol.

My buddy in a federal lock-up in CA posted:

I heard that biden voted on the new stimulus package not sure of the outcome as I don't watch t.v. (hipster POS- editors note) and rarely believe anything i hear from other inmates. a lot of people have yet to receive the first $1,200 check. crazy, huh?
