The 2020 Presidential Election Primary Thread

[Commando]

Yeah I find something super fucking eye rolling about Trump jerkers' posting things about how Joe Biden is creepy.

[frank ryan]

It would be a serious issue, and should cause us to pause. My point is that Trump has so dirtied the waters with his payments to porn stars and Playboy models and talk of grabbing pussies and ogling naked beauty pageant contestants that it gets lost in all the smoke and crap. And we're not even talking yet about his just generally being one of the worst people in the history of mankind; a true sociopath. That cesspool makes it difficult to focus on a one-off accusation about Biden.

I'd rather not vote for Biden, but given the choice between a known super piece of shit and an accused mere piece of shit, I'll opt for the accused.

Often times, they were under 18.

So if Biden "digitally raped" a woman as she claims, that is not as egregious in your mind as multiple consensual affairs and hush payments to at least one mistress? I did not and will not vote for trump. But in the age of metoo and post kavenaugh, it's out there to think Biden should skate on such a serious allegation without anyone checking if there is corroboration just because Trump is disgusting.

Unless they are paid not to check...

A year ago, Reade—who supported the campaigns of Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.)—attempted to come forward with stories of sexual harassment in Biden's offices. As detailed in an Intercept piece, she reached out to Time's Up, a project of the National Women's Law Center that provides support to alleged #MeToo victims. Time's Up declined to assist Reade; the organization's official excuse was that a feud with a national political candidate could jeopardize their status as a 501(c)(3) non-partisan group. But as The Intercept also notes:

The public relations firm that works on behalf of the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund is SKDKnickerbocker, whose managing director, Anita Dunn, is the top adviser to Biden's presidential campaign. A spokesperson for Biden declined to comment. The SKDK spokesperson assigned to Time's Up referred questions back to the NWLC.

Why won't Time's Up (aka #MeToo) take up Tara Reade's case? That is the $806,000 question:

My approach is more along the lines of "when given the choice between a senile idiot and an arrogant idiot, I'll choose the senile idiot every time."

[myboynoah]

I cant disagree with any of that. You last paragraph should be a biden campaign ad!

BIDEN 2020! I'm just an accused mere piece of shit!

So true. The bar is so low, so please don't bring up any women problems. They will pale in comparison.

Trump paid a porn star not to talk. Think about that!

Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with the artform, but my impression was that while the compensation for most porn stars may require them to open their mouths, it wasn't for talking.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

A certain weird segment of them who enjoy there persecution complex. I like Bernie, I think he is a rare example of a non flip-flopping politician but he isn’t a pragmatic choice, and never was. People bitch about him not being backed by the democratic establishment, but he joined the party when it was needed as a potential path to the presidency. I think some of Bernie’s fanboys are far whinier than him.

What’s curious to me if weirdo Gabbard backing Biden. There was nothing normal about her campaign. For all the protesting about being labeled a Russian asset and being accused of courting right-wingers she has become a fixture on RT and made loads of appearances on Fox. I wonder if she choose Biden because Bernie would not commit to her being his running mate.

Maybe she doesn't like commies. Just a thought.

Didn't she endorse Bernie in 2016? It's not necessarily that she hates commies. According to Tulsi's likeability scale:

Hillary < commies < Biden

[myboynoah]

Yeah, about the only attribute in that poster that is even somewhat appealing to me is "Isn't a bought out politician".

That's a hard "Nope" for both the Donald and the John.

Plus he isn't sporting a pokemango tattoo!

If the primaries have taught us anything, it is that Sanders supporters tend not to vote.
