On a side note, I hate how the far-left changes the definition of words so that what they're saying sounds even more over-the-top or hyperbolic. For example, using "misogynist" to mean "sexist." I first noticed this trend on another message board that leans heavily far-left and I never understood it.
By definition, the term "misogyny" reflects a deep hatred of women, not simply sexism (i.e., discriminating against or otherwise viewing the other sex as inferior). What he wrote definitely came across as sexist, condescending, and stupid but it didn't express a deep hatred of women (maybe a hatred of Biden, personally?).
But everything that we would've normally just called "sexist" 5 or 10 years ago now must be "turned up to 11" by mislabeling it as "misogynist." They do the same with "racist," "anti-black," "anti-trans," "white supremacy," etc. etc. The hyperbolic misuse of the English language just gets under my skin. When they go to the doctor and he asks them how much the pain is on a scale of 0 to 10, if it's only a 4 do they say it's actually 15?

This seems...convenient:
So, in one of her first posts about this, she claims that she wants to be a "voice for the voiceless." Note how she mentions how she wants to be put into "positions of power:"
Then she posted all of her vague claims against Cuomo. She said that "many saw it" and that they "watched."
Yet, she now says that she doesn't want to talk to any journalists about this because she doesn't want to have to retell/relive her story.
Even though she pretty much just did by her tweet-thread about it.
So, she's made vague but damning claims against a major public figure. Claims that there are "many" witnesses, though as of today, none have come forward or been identified. She refuses to name names so that people might verify her claims that there were "many" witnesses to this alleged repugnant behavior. She refuses to give any details whatsoever to anyone (e.g., journalists) who would be able to verify her story.
All we know is that she's trying to achieve political power positions and that the day before her accusations, Cuomo was rumored to be on the AG short list.
Again, not saying that her claims are false, but her claims and behavior are quite conveniently timed and fishy.
Produce some evidence, allow journalists and others to investigate, or GTFO.

Samantha Bee is simply repugnant but her show is a neverending wellspring of hypocrisy. Of course "Dr. Jill Stein" doesn't deserve to be called "Dr." She's not on the left! A medical doctorate? Pshaw. Poppycock! She's obviously a smooth-brained, low-IQ hack who should never be paid any respect ever again.*
But, "Dr. Jill Biden?" Her doctorate was a doctorate in Education, and those programs are notorious for being incredibly easy, non-rigorous, and basically "doctorate factories" where people who can't hack it in PhD programs go when they still want a fancy-sounding degree. But she's on the left! Therefore, her doctorate is amazing, was obviously gained through hard work and a big-brained 160 IQ and if you don't call her "Dr." every single time you mention her name, you're obviously a misogynistic, alt-right nazi perpetuating the white male supremacist patriarchy.
*To be fair, I do think that "Dr. Jill Stein" is a complete moron who's anti-scientific, anti-vax lunacy is dangerous.

Can't stand Cuomo (or his dipshit, meat head brother) but I'll have to wait for actual evidence before I draw any conclusions.
The fact that she's currently trying to make a name for herself in politics AND that Cuomo's name is near the top of the list for Biden's AG makes the accusations seem awfully politically convenient.
Not saying the accuastions aren't true. I have no idea and it'll be unclear until some evidence surfaces. I'm just saying that the timing is a little sus.

Hmm...in that case, I guess she could be a Poe? It's honestly become almost too tough these days to distinguish between the woke cultists and the parodies of them. But Titania also sometimes tweets out links/pics to real woke stuff, so who knows? I think it's likely real, though, because this author has written other lunatic trash before too: www.scarymommy.com/husband-i-walk-around-naked-kids-no-big-deal/

Seems like the typically delusional racism of the far left to me. If you look at any of the other articles she links to in that one, you'll see it's a lot more of the same victimhood signalling bullshit.

*Pretends to be shocked* So, apparently an outcome that pretty much anyone could have seen coming, BLM might be fracturing under the strain of being pulled in several directions at once from within. Just like with nearly all originally well-intentioned movements, people within BLM are trying to power-grab and seemingly use the movement for their own agendas...one of which is money. www.politico.com/news/2020/12/10/black-lives-matter-organization-biden-444097Not sure whose side I'm more sympathetic to here. The most urgent issues, it seems, are those at the local level but many of the activists at the local level have really stupid ideas like "dEfUnD tHe PoLiCe" that don't actually align with the wishes and needs of the communities they claim to represent. But, some of the cooler heads who have a more realistic view of what can be done and how to best accomplish it are closer to the national level, but at the level there seems to be a lot of thirst for power and money, with little attention being paid to issues at a local level. Not sure what a good solution is but it's an interesting development nonetheless.

Okay, I'm a bit lost here. Wanna make sure I understand this.
So...race is something that is an important part of everyone's identity, that affects one's "lived experiences" on a fundamental level, to the point that we (as a society) are expected to not only notice, but to bend over backwards to recognize and in many instances give deference to race in societal, political, and racial conversations, because "black lives matter" etc., etc., but if you refer to a black guy as....*checks notes*...a black guy...especially when he's the only one among a bunch of non-black guys, that's racist because you're mentioning his race and you're not supposed to notice, mention, or identify someone by their race?
Okay. Sure. Makes perfect sense. I, too, like to both have and eat my cake.

At this point, she kinda seems like the left's version of Mellissa Carone, at least in terms of credibility.
