(yes, my fellow lefties, I know Warren met with a banker recently, no, I'm not happy about it, and no, I don't think it should disqualify her in and of itself).

Maybe he does it a lot because connected, affluent white people on twitter really loving love to ignore POC to their left, often to a :yikes: degree as was presented here.

I can't believe that the people who nominated and supported a literal slaveowner for president would have issues with race.

weird. team centrist, presented with an unequivocal demonstration of the fact that centrists decided to silence black voices in favor of protecting their own personal power, suddenly decides erasure is good and right actually

how utterly unpredictable

And that's now led to ol' Sess Jeffons deciding that "black extremists" are more dangerous than white ones. Do you know who he considers a "black extremist"? anyone who's black

Not only are centrists a-ok with this, they actively support it.

For all the good that the Onion does, turning Joe Biden into a likable caricature instead of the walking sex-offender that he really is undoes all of that good.

He, along with the Obamas and the Clintons and Pelosi and their centrist trash ilk need to be expelled from modern society as swiftly as possible.

Biden was already a "likable caricature" in the public's perception, long before The Onion ever wrote anything on him. The dude's had a lot of practice at being folksily charismatic and disarmingly "awww, shucks."

The four things that people remember about Biden from the past eight years was mocking the poo poo out of Paul Ryan in the VP debate, the "this is a big loving deal" to Obama about LGBTQ rights, Diamond Joe and his Trans Am, and not running due to his son's death. The first two, while under his control, were independent one-off events, the latter obviously not positive at all. The third one was the constant image we were presented of Biden during his VP tenure, which was far from the truth from the groping wannabe rapist who's fully in bed with the credit card companies that he actually is.

His negatives were overshown by a fictional version of himself. He's centrist trash, like the rest of that administration.

In terms of attempting to bring charges, yeah listen to the victim, but the man holds a powerful public office and needs to be held to a basic standard of "does not sexually assault people". He should step down as soon as it isn't a suicidal move in congress.

There's also been cases where victim's haven't wanted to press charges as to avoid the scrutiny that would arise, such as the woman that Ben Roethlisberger raped, among others. There's also been plenty of cases where victim's haven't wanted to press charges but police/DAs have, and this should be one of those times. Franken should have stepped down immediately, regardless of it was a suicidal move, but because it was and is the right thing to do.

But in trying to shift the goalposts, the dems are going to get Roy Moore seated in Congress and lose the Franken seat to the GOP, who just have to say "Don't vote for an admitted rapist" and will win. It'll be another massive self-own and the dems will learn not a goddamn thing from it.

With this Franken news I'm disappointed that JC is on probation for a month because I'm curious whether we'd get a consistent doubling down that it's bad for him to resign his position of influence and power without a full investigation because now we'll never know exactly how many women he abused thanks to the influence and power of his position...or whether we'll get some doubleplusgood bellyfeel duckspeaking that the Party was always right to demand his resignation without the delay of an ethics investigation.

I only skimmed over what he said but this was David Simon's position on Twitter. I know Simon's closer to being on the right side of history than the wrong but he's wrong here.

That's honestly about what I expect from a Good US President: giving health care to a few tens of millions, and not starting any real new wars.

And this is what encourages dems to just be Diet GOP instead of an actual leftist opposition. Because when the bar to clear is six-feet under, why actually try?
