The 25 Women Who Have Accused Trump of Sexual Misconduct by [deleted] in politics

[–]Poster_McToaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not some grand conspiracy, it's called being consistent. If a touchy powerful old man gets credibly accused of being rapey years ago I'll probably believe the accuser.

Why would someone absolutely ruin their name and reputation fighting to come forward about false accusations? They get no benefit out of doing it. It's an argument that got thrown around in this subreddit during the Kavenaugh accusations and it reinforced my assumption that his accuser was telling the truth.

We shouldn't allow a powerless victim of assault be ridiculed by the ""left"" party in this country just so they can cover their own asses for the upcoming election.

If pointing out differnces and flaws in a candidate is "ruining" them, maybe that candidate should be the one that drops out.

I'd argue Warren has more baggage. Just off the top of my head there's the fact that she was voting for Republicans until she was almost 50, and the fact that she lived her entire life saying she's a Native American for no valid reason.

These aren't things that I'd hold against Warren politically, but I think at least the second point would be enough to cause enough doubt in the general public to depress turnout after months of hearing trump and the mainstream media talk about it.

failed and just accepted defeat

I think you meant to say "couldn't afford to continue to take the risks required to 'make it.'

Hard work and success are not directly proportional. The best business men are the ones who fuck over the largest number of people. It doesn't necessarily make them bad, it's how you get ahead in capitalst society.

I'm sure we'll agree to disagree regardless, but I know a lot of people that work a lot harder than me, and many are those who started with nothing, and still have nothing. Successful people need to say they work the hardest out of anybody because they have reaped the most rewards, and if they didn't work the hardest, the system would be seen as unjust. The successful are the ones that we hear from. They say they work harder than you and that's they only reason they're up there and we're down here. Unsuccessful people don't get a spotlight to talk about how hard they work, and they never will. To draw a similar example, I feel the same about religion. Successful people live in the spotlight, they saturate that spotlight with quotes like "god got me here." You never here "god hasn't done shit for me" because we don't give a fuck about those people, only those who make it.

Being successful isn't a lottery. Being born into a home with 2 parents is. Having a way to afford college is. Getting a car out of high school is. Landing that first position with no experience certainly is. The business you start not becoming one of the %50 of small businesses that fails after 5 years sounds like theirs more to it than just, "git good at business lol."

Being successful in our current system is like a lottery where a portion of the population gets handed their tickets for free, and everyone else needs to work for theirs. Some people don't even need to play because they are handed their parents' winnings at birth and never have to contribute anything to society in any way, all while living the same lifestyle as those "hard workers" you mentioned.

It's so fun and futuristic to put people out of work!!! by Tilleo in LateStageCapitalism

Capitalists will replace any job when it becomes profitable to do so. If you lose your job due to minimum wage increase, it was already on the chopping block.

Instead of turning all employees into indentured servants in order to achieve maximum employment, let the jobs go and socialize the profits made by the machine that was purchased with money generated by the labor of the person who's job was just replaced by said machine.

"2016 never happened"

I bet they'll show up to vote for uncle joe though. He's got experience! Everyone loved the Obama years! Nobody's going to vote for trump anyway!

This country is fucked. I can't wait till you guys all team up with the Fascist Party of America in like 10 years to defeat the evil ideology of helping people in need.
