Democratic Primaries

If so, I understand. There can be a lot of disingenuous concern trolling in politics.

But I promise that my motive is what I said-- great dismay, bordering on anger, that one campaign has seen fit to accuse another candidate of a serious crime. I figured that this was already all over Twitter, being pushed by prominent people in Sanders's orbit, so my little thread wouldn't make much difference. I purposely didn't link to anything so as not to give them more traffic.

Now, why haven't I come out and said whether I think the accusations are true or false? That's something I agonized over. On the one hand, there are reasons to be skeptical-- among other things, the accuser has changed stories in the last year, and those who are spreading the accusation are all clearly politically motivated and only interested in this so they can go after Biden. On the other-- well, mostly I was afraid of looking like the Republicans who reflexively defend the likes of Brett Kavanaugh.

I don't know if that helps. I'm sorry-- maybe I should delete this whole thing.
