The problem is that people don't want to think they are voting for a rapist.

That is why Republicans didn't say Trump raped women, but we don't care we will still vote for him.

However, Democrats didn't measure their response. They turned the other guy is a sexual assaulter into a rallying cry, not realizing that sensationalizing these views that didn't warrant it was not a good idea and could boomerang around, quite easily actually since the burden of proof was so literally devoid of any actual evidence.

It puts Democrats into a bind specifically. Do you follow that clearly oversensationalized response fully and disavow wrongly when it does boomerang back based on your prior actions or do you become a hypocrite?

The correct response would to admit the oversensationalized response prior and now you see why it was wrong, but Democrats find it hard to admit they were wrong while the other side still exists.

Not many are going to go with, I view them both as sexual assaulters or rapists, and I choose to vote for the rapist / etc that best represents my viewed. Because most people don't want to think people that way represent their views period.

Thus, they have to spin or warp the situation to somehow not being the same. This is what you see with Biden supporters right now. The only Dems that are really calling out Biden the same way they did Kavanaugh and such are mostly just Bernie supporters who were Bernie or bust.

There are frankly very few Biden supporters that are going to disavow Biden and frankly very few Bernie supporters who will vote for Biden that will do the same either. They will simply change the goalposts. Which really isn't too bad because they are changing them to where they should have been all along. But, it is interesting to see it still applied the other way to political opposition.

That is why Pelosi being called out was funny. It is basically an admittance that the sexual assault claims against Kavanaugh were purely being used politically and not because it is something she ideologically feels at her core.

posting fucking stupid emojis doesn't change the fact that you're a total asshole

You tell people fuck you or fuck off like every couple of days. It is absolutely a you issue.

Like you can sit here and mash the virtue signal button all day, but it doesn't change that many who have done the same here find ways to conveniently not mash it when it comes to something they support.

You have shown nothing that would make me think this would not apply to you.

You have been no harsher in your allegation virtue signaller stampbook responses than TheRock, and we see how easily his thoughts changed as soon as it was someone who he supported on the end of the stick.

how dare you accuse me of defending someone against rape allegations just because i happen to agree with their political opinions? that's a disgusting accusation. take it back.

Nope. And, you know it is true. Easy to say when the situation isn't upon you.

Also, good to know you think both of those are damning allegations.

if there were damning evidence that bernie was a rapist, i'd say he's a total scumbag and would immediately stop supporting him.

Put the exact same scenario as Ford or Reade towards Bernie. You would defend Bernie. You changed the scenario. Lol.

yeah no, if there were only like 10k tweets I wouldn't even have brought it up. But with 50,000 and growing it's not just Bernie fans talking about it. It's not just gonna go away.

Uh, on the left? Yes, only Bernie supporters are talking about it. Of course on the right and independents there are more talking about it. The Biden supporters are the ones tap dancing their way through #BelieveFord, #ReadeDoesntAddup, and #TheRsAreTheRealHypocrites.

Honestly I had heard nothing about it until I saw #DropOutBiden had 50,000 tweets about it and started looking.

This isn't going to go away, and they've got themselves backed into a serious corner here. Either they abandon their candidate or they expose their hypocrisy. There is no other choice.

Bernie supporters are really the only ones on the left giving it any traction. Which, of course, would be in reverse if Bernie won the nomination and the allegation was against him. Then Bernie Sanders would be downplaying it and Biden supporters would be the ones caring.

It's just the funny part about politics. Majority of people are simply supporting a letter. If their letter does it, defend defend defend. If the other letter does it, attack attack attack.

Winning the election is more important than consistency.

Simple truth.

Like it isn't the claim itself. I mean, you got 7 allegations now. Which doesn't mean anything either.

It is the way the press and the left jumped at kavanaugh while trying to bury this. One publication had to retract a headline saying when she filed the criminal complaint that she put "she now believes" she was assaulted.

Biden contacted a news agency and had them change their reporting of allegations because he said it makes him look bad, and they did.

It is just ironic all the way across the board because there clearly isn't a consistency to the way things are being treated.

It is so blatant and people actually defend against it by calling the people calling it out hypocrites instead. That's the wildest part.

Video isn't damning at all, but it's just as much evidence as Ford ever produced regarding her claim.

Is it at all possible in your mind that the evidence in one of these cases could be more convincing than in the other?

They are both circumstantial cases from way in the past. Ford has supposed unnamed allegation she mentioned prior referring to in past. Reade has supposed mention on Larry King in 93 from her mother about unnamed allegation mentioned in past.

Cases are relatively similar as far as evidence goes.

Zero actual evidence, very limited circumstantial support to the claims.

You do realize you yourself are hypocritical based on this same logic right?

Too many people in these topics wear their political team badge on their sleeves. How about both cases are awful and both guys should be investigated and looked down upon accordingly?

Pointing out people on the opposite team acting hypocritically just makes you look foolish. Of course there are hypocrites on both sides, people suck.

Instead of pointing out hypocrisy after hypocrisy day in and day out, we should be able to point out bad things for what they are and move on.

I am not a hypocrite by any logic besides spun logic.

I said innocent until proven guilty with Kavanaugh and it was dumb people were acting like he did it because someone said he did without proof.

I said innocent until proven guilty with Biden and it was dumb people were acting like he did it because someone said he did without proof.

The hypocrisy is the people who were.

Kavanaugh committed sexual assault and I believe Ford despite no evidence to support the claim!

and are

Those Reade accusations seem pretty flimsy to me. I refuse to believe her due to no evidence to support the claim!

That's hypocrisy. It deserves to be called out.

You should have been at the above stance the entire time. If you want to say you are now the above stance, then at least acknowledge the error of your ways in the prior circumstance. Don't act like it magically didn't happen or that you are magically consistent... or the one I love to see now.. arguing it is okay you are hypocrites because if you point out we are hypocrites we will magically think this makes you yourself a hypocrite for pointing it out. lmfao

That's peak circular arguing there.

Can try to spin it all day for the rest of your life. Doesn't change the point. The fact you are trying to spin it only emphasizes the point. You wouldn't be doing so if you weren't an example of the hypocrisy he is calling out.

He isn't honoring her bravery. He is calling out the hypocrisy of Pelosi choosing who to honor for bravery based on the R or D attached to the person claimed against.

What the cops were doing was wrong by guidelines. But, I love how they can't be liberals, independents, or not politically affiliated in red's eyes. Hell, not even conservatives but literally far right.

If not following a guideline whether accidental or not makes you far right. then the far right has converted tons of people and is probably the predominant party in the country by miles.

uh...

3-4 feet is in social distancing guidelines. any increase of range is because of sneezing or coughing which will travel beyond that, 3 feet is the base level for breathing range. to that end 6 feet honestly isn't enough to be 100% clear of sneezes but that should cover most of it. it's at that point where the effectiveness of masks comes in because it's another layer you're primarily protecting others from. does serve as an extra layer for you too but that's not the main purpose, it's just a way to get the possible leftovers in the air.

Latest study said breathing and talking is 6 feet. Coughing is 18 feet. Sneezing is 24 feet.

Wait why is that dumb?

Because he is probably invested in basically a ton of shit across the board. That means you can say this argument about anything he talks about almost. He is probably invested in almost every last company he ever talks about. It's impossible to fathom he would not have an extremely diversified portfolio.

Like, he mentioned Walmart and 3m and auto makers and airlines and etc. He is probably invested in all of them. Hell, I am probably invested in half of them and I barely have a portfolio. I couldnt name half the companies I am invested in either

Didnt he also have financial stake in it?

He was invested in a company that makes it. He is probably invested in thousands of companies. Was always a dumb headline.

Anyways, wolf released a chart for color phases for the economy/reopening. In the comments, a dude said he refuses to go back to work cuz he makes more on unemployment. People were roasting him saying if he has to go back to work he has to and will lose unemployment if he doesn't. He said he doesn't care. He isn't going back to work. He will say anything he has to in order to stay on it. Lmfao.

Can someone explain Walmart's handling of this whole situation? Like idk if it's just my local Walmarts, or if it's a company-wide thing, but everything they've done has been the opposite of what I feel like they should be doing. Like closing over night, thereby forcing more people to go during the day thus creating bigger crowds and more risk. Closing one of the entrance, thereby forcing the expanded crowd of people all through the same entrance cause more traffic. Blocking off the self check out to create a really tight queue where people line up extremely closely like sardines. It all really, really bothers me.

Self check out isn't blocked here. Dunno why it would be.

All three have now come clean. I essentially told them what you told your students, @LordoftheMorons . They're not bad people and they can easily recover, but I needed to punish them so that hopefully they learn something about not continuing this behavior.

It's essentially a math class (finance, but for most of these kids it's close enough) that's mandatory for all business majors, including the marketing and management students who might hate numbers and see it as one of the bitter pills of their academic schedule.

Regarding this class specifically, the numbers just didn't match up to me. This was a 21-question exam. Last semester, it was 20 questions, so I added one question here. Additionally, I changed 3 of the original 20 (in my opinion, I made those 3 only slightly harder). So I changed 3 questions to make them (arguably) a tiny bit harder and added one extra question. The other 17 questions were identical to last semester, where the class average was 75%. In exchange for making the exam very slightly harder and one question longer, I allowed them open book, open notes, open internet (obviously, they still needed to do things on their own).

Leading up to this first online exam, this was the strongest class I had taught based on their earlier averages, so I was looking for reasons as to why their average would be so much lower than last semester, because the open resources struck me as more than adequate compensation for me barely ratcheting the difficulty.

Unless the class collectively stopped caring because of COVID, I think I found my answer: their time management was poor. It makes sense - if you have all your notes there, it's easy to get lost in them and wonder where your last ten minutes went. On an exam like this, you should be maintaining a pace of ~3 minutes per question, so even losing five minutes rummaging through your notes would put you behind schedule. Looking at exam logs, this is what seems to have happened with many students.

I'll stress the issue that time management is critical for the final (I mentioned it to them, though clearly not enough).

Fair enough.

Your average should be about 75 to 80% depending on the scale used for grading.

I am sure he bell curved. Though, if your class average is a 67% then you probably didn't teach the material well enough or your test didn't correlate to what you taught well enough.

Only times I see classes with scores that low are classes where they purposely try to weed out students and where teaching was minimal in large lecture classes.

My workplace where masks is mandated is like 25%. People been getting caught and forced to wear them though.

Outside, I haven't been outside since the mandate. It was like 20% last time I was out though.

My point is that our government has never been about what fundamentally helps the most by anyones metric. Its ALWAYS been about picking and choosing citizens to prioritize

Is that true or is that because you disagree on what the best path forward to help the most citizens is?

I mean, if you at any point championed for benefits to illegal immigrants, it calls into question your viewpoint on many things because it already shows your utmost goal is not the citizenship that the government exists to serve.
