Pick posted:Unwanted touching is not sexual assault. It's actually one of the reasons why I, as a woman, would like to see some of the older and more clear terminology employed. Biden himself admitted that his standards for personal space and touching needed to change, but that is not the same as saying her saying that he is guilty of or admitted guilt for rape. Whether unwanted touching is sexual assault depends on where it occurs, and I've heard of Biden touching a pretty bad place.

Sodomy Hussein posted:He doesn't even need his campaign to do it, Greenwald will do it for him and they need merely retweet. I don't think anyone in the Trump campaign is literate to leftist thought. The campaign was surely paying attention to all of the information out there during the primary.

Macrame_God posted:I know that. I was hoping that maybe he'd signal a willingness to cater to progressives with his pick. I'm getting real sick and tired of having to choose between crypto fascism and preserving the status quo. There's no reason to use a pick like this to cater to progressives because they're not going to vote for Trump. They are far more worried about reassuring centrists/suburbanites that are potential swing voters. Judakel posted:They absolutely are, and you can tell that is the implication from the context. They claim she embraced anti-police ideas so as to obfuscate her record as a prosecutor. I have no idea how you're this obnoxious when you clearly can't even read. How is "embracing anti-police ideas" attacking her from the left? Want to take a third swing at this?

Sodomy Hussein posted:Biden has never once really entertained shoring up the extreme left wing of the party except to do one better than Hillary and have an actual amicable relationship with Bernie. Trump is just going to run on Biden being the socialist antichrist and running that against Kamala makes as little sense as possible. Everyone's moderate (D) parents love Kamala. From a strategic standpoint it's a good pick. If you were hoping for an interesting pick, not really. Man you could cut and paste this exact same paragraph in 2016 but replace Kamala with Tim Kaine.

On some level, Biden does not believe this. Everything he has said, and the way he speaks about the black vote, tells me this. He might be in for a surprise come November.

Nucleic Acids posted:No, I’d say it is. Some guy touching my hair is obnoxious but it's not rape. The only reason to try to equate those things is to manipulate the experiences of women for personal political ends. No woman who has experience both would say that they are the same.

Jewel Repetition posted:Or if the president is mentally incompetent, like Reagan, or Dubya, or Biden. I don't think it's fair to call Dubya mentally incompetent. Just incompetent. Edit: I have long curly hair, and women come up and touch me all the time. It can be an invasion of privacy depending on the circumstances but I don't really mind it either. I'm also like Biden in that my standards for personal space can clash with other folks.

Mat Cauthon posted:Trump's campaign team seems too incompetent and/or self-interested in their own respective grifts to really take advantage of this but man it could end up a loving bloodbath. There are very few problems in the US today that Kamala Harris isn't negatively associated with. Those problems aren't actually problems to Trump or his base, or even a lot of suburbanites/old people who shifted from Trump to Biden. People act like Trump can say anything and everyone, not just his cult, will lap it up.

Like, he did fine in the debates, he still gives coherent speeches (with his usual array of gaffes that can be spliced up), he's done many small campaign events and virtual rallies, we've seen him out and about and riding a bike and generally looking like a normal old guy.

Endorph posted:i would call one sexual assault if it is done with obvious sexual interest, and the other rape. i am a woman who has experienced both. wanna try again champ or do rape victims only count if they agree with you about definitions I'm saying that to use an article where she agrees that he has committed unwanted touching generally (which he agreed with!) as saying she thinks he's a rapist and tacitly supports rape is bullshit and what's worse, it's bullshit and you knowi it.

nine-gear crow posted:They also believe that Trump winning in 2020 will get them a Turbo Socialist Game of the Year Edition president in 2024 because... magic? I don't loving know anymore. D&D is pure grade malt brain poison par excellence. It's more like a Dr Strange thing where the one timeline out of infinity billion where the left rises in America sometime before we all drown starts with Trump winning in 2020. This isn't a shitpost, it's legitimately the closest analogy I can think of off the top of my head to what the reasoning seems to be.

Derpies posted:Man you could cut and paste this exact same paragraph in 2016 but replace Kamala with Tim Kaine. Not really, Hillary basically bungled her relationship with Bernie by letting her personal feelings about anyone who dares oppose her get in the way, leading to a "joint campaign event" that was like the Appomattox courthouse. Notably, an unending quixotic Bernie campaign did not materialize this year.
