I Believe Tara Reade. I’m Voting for Joe Biden Anyway. The importance of owning an ugly moral choice.

Let’s be clear: I believe Tara Reade. I believed Anita Hill, too. Remember the buttons? I wore one. What’s the constant here? Joe Biden, then the bumbling head of the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
Long before Ms. Reade, before the reports of the rubbing and the sniffing, I interviewed an adviser to Ms. Hill, who said she’d tried to warn Mr. Biden of what was happening in the Thomas hearings — how unchecked Republicans were smearing an upright woman’s character. But “the United States Senate was still very much a boys’ club” back then, the adviser told me, and there was no getting through to him. Democratic primary voters knew all about Mr. Biden’s membership in that boys’ club when there was still time to pick someone else. Alas.
So what’s a girl to do now?

This tramp “believed” Anita Hill?
Good grief, how do such dumbasses get a forum to express their ugliness and stupidity?
Believe Tara Reade but vote for Joe Biden anyway, says The New York Times
“Suck it up and make the utilitarian bargain,” writes Linda Hirshman in the op ed page of today’s The New York Times. She’s talking, of course, about Joe Biden.
Joe Biden, long term senator, Vice President under Barack Obama, was no one’s top choice to be this year’s Democratic Presidential nominee. To top it off, there’s mounting witness testimony that he behaved inappropriately and non-consensually with staffer Tara Reade back in 1993.
So why is feminist, female-forward author Linda Hirshman saying that we should all hold our collective noses and vote Joe? For the good of the nation, of course. “I’ll take one for the team,” she writes. “I believe Ms. Reade, and I’ll vote for Mr. Biden this fall.”
This sentiment is cropping up among Democratic-voting women across the nation, and the hypocrisy is so blatant and transparent that every conservative news outlet in North America has pointed it out with ease. There is no nuance to this hypocrisy—it doesn’t need to be spelled out for anyone; it is obvious and apparent; it is undeniable.
Joe Biden has been accused of sexual assault. According to the dictates of Democratic progressivism, this means he should be cancelled. Leftists instead tell us they are going to vote him into the highest executive office in the US, and not cancel him. There is no greater WTF moment than this one.
The women who are backing Joe are, in many countless cases, the same exact women who opted for cancelling men who were accused of far less crimes than—checks notes—sexual assault. From Nancy Pelosi to Gretchen Whitmer to Amy Klobuchar, they have all moved on from “believe all women” to “believe some women” in a blink of an eye. The “Me Too” brigade has revealed themselves to be a bunch of cynical, political operatives. It was always the case; it’s just clear as day now.
Trump said “Grab em by the p***y”. I’m voting for Trump anyway. :P
I don’t have any democrat friends either.
They use women for their votes and their money...donations and taxes
A real woman wouldn’t be a Dimocrap. The Proverbs 31 woman is moral, industrious, sweet, feminine, and conservative

Vote Democrat!
In other words, “Hypocrite lying sacks of shit always support lying Fascist hypocrite sacks of shit, and I am one of them”.
Workplace sexual harassment has never been an issue for that one!
.......................................
Unless there were ones just like her where she worked!
I love when people say crap like “my democrat friends”. I don’t have any of those. They’re just non-existent voids.
............................................
I’m convinced that no sane person has Democrat friends. Nobody I know does, that’s for sure, but then none of them are insane either!
Leftist women make it a point of pride to NOT look attractive for any man.
Joe Biden isn’t the target of their witchhunt.
How would these butt-ugly, penis-envying, man-hating leftist intellectual superiors react to a woman who proudly proclaimed, “I believe Stormy Daniels. I’m still voting for Donald Trump.”
When did Screech from SAVED BY THE BELL transition???
😆 I was kind of wondering the same thing. 🤪
Uh... Linda’s a fruitcake.
And he’s not an un-American commie bag of filth like pretty much every Democrat.
.............................................
Well and truly said and every word of it!
“I Believe Tara Reade. I’m Voting for Joe Biden Anyway.”
Trying to prove stupidity is an incurable disease for some?
And the truth is, with Lib women going after him for his money, he was actually just telling the truth.
