All purpose news and politics thread part v: The quickening

Found it, and she is still lying.

[PaulBullion]

She is counting all the discrimination suits (non sexual) and sexual harassment suits (not all against Mike Bloomberg). She is being a smart ass, but she is making it hard for the victims of sexual assault by adding fuel to the stereotype that many of those cases are made up.

False accusations make it really hard for victims. And there is a difference between saying "I'd do her" and grabbing a woman by her pussy.

also, a whole lot of the 64 number where suits against the company, not Mike Bloomberg himself.

A false accusation is something that is completely made up. Like what that Jacob guy tried to do with Pete and Warren.

She fumbled the details. Not the same thing.

Have the victims actually said anything or are you using them to defend Bloomberg?

In 2016, people sarcastically said they had to hold their noses when they voted for Hillary Clinton. If things keep up, what with all the shenanigans coming from his camp, I’m gonna have to wear a fucking hazmat suit to vote for Sanders if he winds up being the standard bearer for the Democrats come November.

It's all good as long as you vote to defeat Trump.

FOX HAS BEEN “MORE FAIR”: WHY BERNIE’S TEAM HAS HAD IT WITH MSNBC
The liberal network’s talk of “digital brown shirts” and Fidel Castro admiration has Sandersworld seeing red. (More like “MSDNC,” says Glenn Greenwald). The blowback is classic Sanders-campaign ref-working—and a sign of a deepening Democratic divide.

Shakir credited CNN for making “efforts to try and diversify their voices,” citing the network’s hire of Alexandra Rojas, the executive director of the progressive organization Justice Democrats and a veteran of the 2016 Sanders campaign. Even Fox News has been “more fair than MSNBC,” according to Shakir. “That’s saying something,” he said. “Fox is often yelling about Bernie Sanders’s socialism, but they’re still giving our campaign the opportunity to make our case in a fair manner, unlike MSNBC, which has credibility with the left and is constantly undermining the Bernie Sanders campaign.”

Please tell me the Sanders campaign isn't actually this dumb.

You really don't see how lying about sexual harassment allegations is bad for ALL victims? Are you really that deep in the koolaid pool?

I keep encountering Dem voters who like Mike Bloomberg because he’s been endorsed by Barack Obama. Fake news and the power of saturation TV ads.

Bloomberg is doing his damnedest to buy the election. This is very bad.

[KNIGHT OF THE LAKE]

If Sanders gets the nom, that's the hurdle for him. He needs everybody's support, he cannot afford to alienate anybody

Name a candidate that’s not true for.

[PaulBullion]

Sara Gideon 43%
Susan Collins 42%

New Maine Senate poll.

If this election is Trump vs Bloomberg then the Republicans have completely and thoroughly won American politics

Thats actually funny. You would think he was if you only half paid attention to all his TV ads everywhere and hear Obama without context

1. She did not lie. She mistook reports of sexual harassment for sexual assault. She corrected her statement to note that Bloomberg had not been accused of assault.

2. What's bad for survivors and victims is when someone who has accusations made against them starts suing people. Something you encouraged.
