I remember Joe Biden being accused of rape and the woman who did it basically being hushed down. I haven’t seen a single person mention it (recently). Given his age, status, and political beliefs, it seems pretty much guaranteed to be at least somewhat true. How did I forget about this?

The democrats took the whole #metoo movement out back and shot it the instant it stopped being useful to them.

Just like ACAB or Black Lives Matter or any other social movement. It's almost like they don't actually care about social progress at all and just use it as a political tool to try and win votes...

Intersectionality is important but lib idpol or lib essentialism whatever you want to call it is real.

Libs always use identity as a weapon so they don't have to talk about things like class conflict, wealth inequality, or how they're functionally the same as Republicans. They just wave a little pride flag around while they bulldoze low income housing to make way for shopping complexes and "luxury" priced five over ones.

Once they're done using a talking point for their purposes they discard it.
