I keep wanting to congratulate you by paying attention to this LL but I badly don’t want to patronise you. you know some pro dems would pay more attention to a spelling error I. a tweet from orange face than this. You’ve already explained to me why this is so. But I do commend you. And again I’m aware compared to you I myself am no different let’s face it I am biased against the system so I do have my own agenda. You’re a pillar of the current affairs though.
 
It’s stacking up.
Personally feel the evidence for the sexual harassment charge is pretty clear cut. The sexual assault allegations are realistically weakened by the changes in reporting - felt this was a good description in the Vox piece.

“If Reade had told a consistent story and shared all of her corroborating sources with reporters, if those sources had told a consistent story, if the Union piece had shaken loose other cases like hers, or if there were “smoking gun” evidence in Biden’s papers, her account might have been reported on differently in mainstream media a year ago. It is not fair to an individual survivor that their claims require an extraordinary level of confirmation, but it’s what reporters have found is necessary for their stories to hold up to public scrutiny and successfully hold powerful men accountable. So we are here.“

Here is some more of family reaching out to Larry King for advise on how to handle it
 
Yeah I have seen that and it does corroborate that there was an issue. But it doesn’t shed any light on a) the nature or severity of the issue b) whom the issue was with - the ”out of respect for the senator“ comment somewhat confuses me tbh.
We all know nothing is going to be done but its worth noting. Which is the sad truth not just because its Biden but this happens every day in all walks of life. So hard to tell which one is telling the truth, different motives, etc because the overwhelming evidence needed.

yep. But that’s common place with sexual assault victims experts will say they will release wha really happened clear cut over time due to trauma. At the time they can’t face the exact truth.

Fully understand and agree but will repeat this again “It is not fair to an individual survivor that their claims require an extraordinary level of confirmation, but it’s what reporters have found is necessary for their stories to hold up to public scrutiny and successfully hold powerful men accountable. So we are here”.

We have at least progressed a bit as since MeToo most accusations now get some checking rather than automatically dismissed.
 
It forever will be unfortunately due to the nature of politics. You dont want the other person to win so anything and everything will come out.



Maybe these sorts of allegations are ignored so depressingly often due to the status of the accused, that victims know parties looking for an edge are far more likely to listen to you and support you during an election season. And yeah, it's probably political opportunitism by the Republican party, but I doubt that's the motivating purpose of the accuser. She might just see a chance to be heard for once. I think she's very very credible
