If your excuse is that things can be doctored and faked, then it kinda feels like you’ve already made up your mind on this. You don’t seem like you care what the evidence is.

Like, if you’re gonna not care, at least don’t be a coward about it. I get that people won’t like you, but be more brazen in your misogyny so that people will avoid and dislike you sooner!

Also, just to start a fire for fun, Amber Heard was abused, even if she wasn’t a perfect victim. It’s pretty well-documented, and Johnny Depp is a piece of shit. I don’t like that she returned the abuse, but that happens a lot in abusive relationships.

Thank you for pointing out why it is rape. It appears to be needed for some people here.

I don’t think MeToo failed. It succeeded in making known how prevalent sexual assault was. And it allowed women, including this women, to come forward with her story.

I do think MeToo could never really fight against sexual assault in its entirety because it wasn’t aimed at the perpetrators. It was aimed at the victims, to tell them they weren’t alone, that it was okay to talk about their experiences, that they had people that understood them.

And that is a great first step! But to really fight sexual assault, you need to aim at the those that commit assault as well.

You need to have them listen to the stories of the victims. You need to have them hear their pain that they have and continue to cause. You need to have them reconcile what they have done with who they are. It is not enough to prop up and help the victims. You also have to reform and help the offenders.

And that sounds a little crazy, that somehow the offenders are due some sort of relief for the crimes they have done. I don’t want anyone reading that to think that they don’t owe their victims some form of becoming whole again. Only that there has to be a movement aimed at the offenders of sexual assault to truly fight against it.

So the guy is also accused of not stopping when she said stop. That is also rape. Do you not see a problem with calling them both rape?

…No???

They ARE both rape.

Just because one rape is different from another rape doesn’t mean they’re not both rape, what the actual fuck are you talking about.

I don’t wanna be that guy, but it is rape. If you think that it isn’t, it’s on you to find the descriptive term, not me.

There is something to be said about these types of people. They fight for the person and not the message. His message is what matters here, and I think a hard line in the sand of “No Rapists” shouldn’t be a hard bar to cover. He had a lot of other issues, but that’s kind of an easy line for a lot of people to draw.

Maybe, and this is me having to think a few seconds… Progressive voters align more with moral behavior than Trump voters? A lot of progressives want things that make people’s lives better because they believe it is the right thing, and I would argue that raping people is a thing that they would deem as bad.

Now, if your argument is that this is only an accusation and not proven… That’s a little more understandable. I would argue that this most recent accusation seems very credible. It’s also kinda fucking weird to say “If they’re okay with the child rapist Trump, we should be okay with an adult rapist!” That’s better in a way that sort of makes light of rape.

I feel like if you sexually assault someone, you should never be allowed power should not be a controversial opinion, but I fucking bet it is.

As a reporter? I think they are doing a good job informing.

I don’t wanna be that guy, but purposefully removing a condom during sex without consent is rape.

Which spaces are you talking about that the political left has removed themselves from?

I think you’re wrong. Or rather, I think you’re mostly wrong.

Like, in no way do I think they are extremely good at what they do, unless your argument is that they don’t give a shit, which I also think is wrong. They definitely want to win. They definitely want to control things. They literally make more money (not the organization, mind you, the people who run the organization) when they are in control. It is silly to think otherwise. Heck, it is safer, too!

But, I think they are quite dumb, or maybe it’s better to think of them as out of touch. They rely on political calculus, but they’re using some pretty bad variables. Because otherwise, there wouldn’t be any progressive Democrats at all. Like, that is inherently detrimental to their centrism. Giving crumbs isn’t as useful to them as people say because it let’s others know how hungry they are for more of that. Hope is contagious.

I think they work with what they got, and what they got is so rapidly changing that they freak out and pick what they think is the safest option over and over again. And their base hates it, but they’ll deal with that part later, there’s just too many fires for them!

Like, sure, there’s a little bit of trying to control how progressive they can be, but they just… Suck at that, too. I dunno, man. A lot of people can skate by on incompetency, and that just feels more likely.

Ain’t no fucking way you’re not a troll.

Why do we need to replace all the moderate Democrats that did EXACTLY what you said you wanted them to do?

Because they didn’t do what I wanted them to do. Obviously. Did you not read?

Do you have any actual PROOF that Schumer engineered the capitulation? Your personal opinions on the matter aren’t really what’s under discussion here. Just vague and unsubstantiated accusations, pretty Trumpian if you ask me.

Like, either he sucks at his job and needs to go or he coordinated this and needs to go.

Idk, man, it’s literally right there.

You should try harder?

Ain’t no fucking way Chuck Schumer isn’t responsible for this. That motherfucker has been doing shit like this for a while. But, let’s be fair and say, for some fucking reason, that Schumer had nothing to do with this. Then he has absolutely no control over his party, and he should go.

Like, either he sucks at his job and needs to go or he coordinated this and needs to go. And I no longer think he is bad at his job. Out of touch? Yes. A fucking dipshit? Yes. But bad at his job? No. I am not stupid enough to believe that for one second.

Which means we need to replace every Dem senator with progressives. Every senator should be followed everywhere by homeless people in their state. They should be seated next to starving families in restaurants. They should be forced to share medical treatments with the people whose healthcare they just sacrificed.

None of them. OP is projecting, misinformed, suffering psychosis, or all three. Democratic politicians said that violence is wrong, and that they mourn for Charlie’s family.

OP might be confusing reality with their own head canon, and should seriously consider going to a psychiatrist.

Hey, where’s all those losers that kept saying the Dems didn’t actually want it released? Come on out of the woodwork, ya fucking losers.

This guy said there is an epidemic of parents crushing their own baby’s skulls. They are as smart as they sound.

There isn’t one, the poster made it up.
