LA Times article on Biden/Flores

Quote

Flores, who campaigned for Sanders in 2016, has served on the board of Our Revolution, a group that backs the Vermont senator. Sanders recently apologized for male staff members’ harassment and mistreatment of women who worked for him in 2016.

A key Biden supporter said there was no panic among his top advisers, and the Flores allegation would likely not change his expected plan to join the presidential contest in April.

Another longtime Biden ally, former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, said the Flores story was “obviously a hurdle” but would do no harm to Biden’s campaign, even in a general election contest against Trump.

“Jack the Ripper wouldn’t have a problem with his sexual activity compared to President Trump,” Rendell said.

Having powerful people either come out directly against Flores or dismiss the validity or severity of her claims has the dual benefit of (1) downplaying this incident and (2) signalling to any future women that they will be attacked immediately.

Patriarchy at work.

This should be good.  I can't wait for Bernie Sanders attempt at promoting socialism to a crowd whose families sought political asylum in the U.S. to get away from Fidel Castro.

Good call. Miami-Dade County went 63.7% for Hillary.

Of course Hillary was further to the right than any of the 2020 Democrat candidates so I'm not sure if that stat is going to mean as much as you think it is going to mean.

I'm sure you're right. Miami-Dade County would never go for Bernie or any other lib.

Hugo is extremely concerned about the Jewish candidate's taxes.

Hugo is not at all concerned about any of the other candidate's taxes.

Huh? Are you accusing him of being against Jewish people here? Very strange post.

Can't wait for Trump to tweet about how Biden shouldn't run cause he cant respect women.

Trump has been accused of rape by multiple women and the republicans don’t bat an eye. Biden is accused of kissing someone on the head and its some really big deal?

I guess when all those politicians used to kiss babies they were “invading their personal space” and causing “emotional trauma.” 

So fucking ridiculous.

There's only one candidate whose tax returns he's interested in, even though that candidate actually has a fairly recent tax return from that tax return to look at. He's also terrified of Communism and brings it up pointlessly all the time.

Hell if I know, dude, ask him.

Yeah, it ain't just kissing someone on the head.  This dude is a serial groper.  From grown women all the way down to prepubescent girls.  On top of all his other flaws.

He does have a great website though!

As predicted, Twitter is alight with conspiracies about Flores lying because she's a Bernie Bro. Hundreds and hundreds of #Resistance warriors are going full Pizzagate to protect Creepy Uncle Joe, like there isn't copious video of him molesting little girls onstage.

THIS BERNIE WHORE IS LYING ABOUT HIM DOING THINGS THAT WE HAVE HOURS OF VIDEO OF HIM DOING

 

This is just the dumbest fucking response (the twitter idiots, not your post). The entire world knows there’s going to be literally thousands of pictures of Biden doing creepy weird shit with women. Trying to pretend that it’s just this one case and that she’s lying about it is so incredibly stupid that only Democratic consultants who want Biden to run so he can keep paying them for their awful advice could convince themselves that it’s a winning strategy.

If i had to predict today, I'd say Kamala/Beto.

 

On Hardball, Chris Matthews mentioned a rumor he heard that if the Dems pick a woman candidate, Trump will drop Pence for Nikki Haley. IDK how much truth there is to that rumor, but I could easily see Trump pulling some disloyal shit like that to save himself. Especially since he doesn't need Pence anymore for the white evangelical vote.

Same reason Schultz is putting his name in the race.

Can you cite where he said he wants to fuck his daughter? 

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-elections/donald-trump-ivanka-trump-creepiest-most-unsettling-comments-a-roundup-a7353876.html

He turned to the then-Miss Universe and asked: “Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?”

In the almost 20 years since, Mr Trump has called his eldest daughter “voluptuous”. He’s said it’s OK to describe her as “a piece of ass”, though she is a senior executive in his business empire. And he’s said that, if she wasn’t his daughter, “perhaps [he’d] be dating her”.

Weird and gross, sure. But not the same as saying he wants to bang his daughter.

Lol. Yeah. He doesn't want to fuck her. He just wants to date her and be her platonic friend for life. Maybe have a sexless marriage if the dates work out.  I get that y'all Trump supporters are cucks, but Trump isn't.

Oh my god, the SCORCHING HOT TAKES about Q1 fundraising are hilarious.

Of course Hillary/Obama 08 and Hillary/Bernie 16 raised more money.   2008 featured 3 candidates (Hillary/Obama/Edwards) and 2016 had 2.  2020 already has, by themselves, 5 legit candidates and a dozen fringy ones.

Kamala forgot the asterisk:

* Except if the sugar daddy you’re sleeping with gets you a job in the DA’s office, in which case you prosecute the shit out of those nonviolent offenders.

On the first post, the sort-of hypocrisy of her record as DA and AG, which is as tough on crime as you could want to be, and her earlier opposition to legalization in California.  She's a cop.

And on the second, she's done what's politically expedient her entire adult life.

I make allowances for evolving views, but the totality of her career is of one whose views shift with the prevailing wind.  And does America need another self-dealing politician in the vein of Willie Brown?

This is my main reason for not liking her.  I don't see how people can gloss over this.  I will still vote for her if she gets the nomination though.

Definitely my least favorite candidate.  If she gets the nom, oh geezus, I might have to go Libertarian again.  I dunno.

Heavy hitters early on

Kamala - 12m

Mayor Pete - 7m

Bernie - 18.2m (32m with his Senate campaign thrown in) 

And we don't even have Beto's numbers yet. Ridiculous amounts of money being raised already.

For some perspective, there were about 30M total voters in the 2016 Democratic Primary. So with just those 3 people in the first 6 weeks, we're already over a dollar and a half per voter.

I have no problem with women inside a patriarchy using sex to get ahead. We built the system and I ain't going to get mad at them for using it.

I also am very impressed with Harris's fundraising. There's no model for a black woman running for this office at her level, and her audience right now (early state primary voters) is an EXTREMELY white audience (look at the Beto and Bernie crowds, holy moly it is an ocean of mayo). I'd expect high dollars and high # of contributors for the white guys.

Harris showing up for the ladies here.

(Not a Harris fan politically, of course, but whatever.)

LMAO at ocean of mayo.  Also gag at the literal visual. 

Her fundraising is impressive.  She's built a machine and has utilized it well - some 2018 candidate had their biggest fundraising days when she used her list on their behalf.

I'm not nuts about Harris for all the reasons outlined, but I guess I'll take someone who's on the right side of the drug issue, even if only for political expediency, vs voting Libertarian and ending up with 4 more years of a guy whose first AG said "good people don't use marijuana".  In 2016.
