Definitely going to be interesting to see how the democratic establishment reactions to Cuomo.

he's also, you know, the governor of New York, so even if he somehow survives this that's not necessarily much of a reflection on the national party, any more than if when I successfully replace all of Texas' DNC members with socialists that's not a "my work here is done, the Democratic Party is now socialist"

his destruction over this would be very good, mind

Biden isn't the first rapist many or even most of them have voted for, to be fair.

I guess my point is that until we're in a setting where sexual assault allegations against politicians in particular are not made decades after the fact, people are going to look into peoples' backgrounds in lieu of being able to demonstrate anything independent of that (such as a multitude of allegations coming out of the woodwork, an obvious paper trail, etc.). Not even this will solve people using this opportunity to ruthlessly harass victims into oblivion (doxxing them and making death threats and whatever else).

Both Ford and Reade had their credibility attacked, but generally a larger % of people believed Ford for various reasons.

I feel as if this thread has run it's course. Everything already been addressed by myself and other posters. That is the best I am able to do.

I see little value in explaining why context matters in any given situation such as these.

Cuomo, isn't even a Democrat at this point. Democrats or specifically "Progressive Democrats" have been trying to get rid of him for over a decade now and finally it might work this time. He's not only toxic to the party but terrible with nearly everything that he does unless it somehow enormously benefits him and voters are starting to see that clearly.

If he doesn't get impeached - which may occur - he isn't going to win re-election.

Looks like everyone is lining up to tee one off on Cuomo. Now that's he's been thrown overboard officially I'm assuming everyone with an interest in polishing their women-believing credentials will be along shortly to denounce him. I mean check this guy out:

It is acceptable to ask for better sources to confirm allegations, it is not acceptable to outright dismiss allegations of sexual abuse without extremely strong evidence. The ideological leanings of the source are not such evidence. Of course a politician's enemies are going to amplify allegations against them; it's beneficial for them to do so. That an ulterior motive exists is not evidence that the allegations are false, especially not when video evidence is provided. As such, Solkanar is banned from this thread and will have other penalties coming shortly.

That said, it is unacceptable for posters, especially people who are not usually thread participants, to call other people rape apologists for asking for better sources. It's also not acceptable to run a riot in this thread because the mods haven't responded in the space of two hours. If you feel something absolutely needs immediate attention because it puts people at risk or similar, contact a mod via the discord link in the D&D rules thread. If it's an issue of ordinarily unacceptable posting, it can wait a few hours for attention.
