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?

Who’s the guy?
Trump said “Grab em by the p***y”. I’m voting for Trump anyway. :P
#metoo has no credibility any longer.
Workplace sexual harassment has never been an issue for that one!
Tailhook 1991 meet Tarahook 2020.
So what’s a girl to do now?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vote Trump
Gawd. They ALL look the same.
I love when people say crap like “my democrat friends”. I don’t have any of those. They’re just non-existent voids.
What Trump said was, “They let you grab them by the pussy”, talking about the women who follow rich and powerful men like him.
I am actually good with this.
Tweeps, you can stop quoting Reckoning now. If my position weren't a heart-stopping conflict with everything I've believed it wouldn't even be interesting. If Trump is bad enough to get Linda Hirshman to say vote for Biden anyway, just think about how bad he must be.— Linda Hirshman 🏊🏻♂️ (@LindaHirshman1) May 6, 2020

I'm a survivor and no fan of Trump, and you disgust me. Shame on you.— Gretchen Lynn (@Bubola) May 6, 2020
Your face should be added here and Lisa Bloom's as well. While Trump was just joking with a friend about grabbing a pu**y if they let you, Biden garbed it for real, with no consent. Guess who you freaks went more nuts about. Why no protests about creepy Biden? Hypocrites. pic.twitter.com/GRnrm5YybJ— Marius Hurton (@HurtonMarius) May 6, 2020
I laugh every time I see #metoo. It’s really backfired on the left.
I believed Anita Hill, too. And then I came to my senses. And I did come to my senses about her even before I saw her on the Today Show a few years later. She was asked to comment on the Monica Lewinsky story and if she still supported Clinton. And her answer?? ‘WELL YOU REALLY HAVE TO CONSIDER HIS VOTING RECORD’.......
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?
She blew the meme ‘women are to be believed’ right out of the water. But hey, Dems really don’t care about women. They only care about Liberal Causes, because they never support women who are on our side of the aisle.....and they don’t even support their own compatriots, if it goes against their Party.
Yup. That’s how craycray with TDS they are. Or lookin’ for a date.
It never did. It was a political slogan, not a woman’s rights one
The #meto movement just went down the toilet for all to see. Hypocritical political hack organization
Ok, something like that. Whatever. I’m still voting for Trump anyway. LOL! :)
Unlike Trump, Chomo Joe actually does the grabbing, often with underage girls. Trump may have a big mouth, but at least he’s not a chomo, and at least he’s not senile. And he’s not an un-American commie bag of filth like pretty much every Democrat. So, I’ll take Trump with his flaws over any Democrat.
Anita Hill. What a sick joke.
