Maggie's Farm

So the Democrats who are so supportive of women don't care about the women who were killed, brutalized, raped so much because the term of the Democrat politician who abused those women wasn't a life term. Democrats don't care a bit about women (or blacks, gays, etc.) any more than how they can be used politically. If they were serious about it, they would not allow people who abused women to associate with them much less lionize them and name them the deputy chair of the DNC.

This sort of thing doesn't seem to be limited to Democrat politicians but to Democrats in general. A recent poll showed a tiny minority of Democrats in Minnesota believed Ellison's accuser even though she produced medical evidence of his abuse. So while Democrats are willing to believe a woman who claims a Republican abused her with no evidence, there don't seem to be any Democrats who believe or care about the women who are abused by Democrats.

Z: What is means is that the politicians have to face the voters on a regular basis. There is political accountability along with legal accountability.
Z: That makes little sense as women and minorities comprise much of the Democratic Party.

This means nothing. Blacks in inner cities overwhelmingly vote for Democrats regardless of their promises to improve their lives yet their lives continue to get worse (e.g. Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore). Hillary Clinton and other Democrat operatives trashed women as trailer park trash and crazy and they knew the truth. When the truth became known, neither Hillary nor any of those operatives (e.g. Stephanopoulos) paid any political price from fellow Democrats. Political accountability is a nice idea but it doesn't really work as well as we all would like.

Z: If you mean Keith Ellison, he was named deputy before any allegations about his conduct were made. There is only one incident alleged, so there is no apparent pattern. The investigation is ongoing.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we're unlikely to hear the results of any DNC investigation.

Z: The medical record showed no signs of physical abuse.

She told someone about her abuse around the time of the abuse as opposed to the current Democrat accusers who kept quiet for thirty years. So Democrats believe them in spite of evidence to the contrary but they don't believe Karen Monahan. She has also stated that the Democrats have isolated and threatened her.

Z: While a single allegation may warrant investigation, it's far more concerning when a pattern of behavior can be shown.

Yeah, like the pattern of sexual abuse from Clinton, Dodd, several Kennedys, Inouye, et al. Democrats still love them all.

The political landscape is littered with women who are victims of sexual or other abuse by Democrats who are still revered, or still in office. For some reason, they never seem to get primaried out.

Z: This means nothing. Whites in rural and rust belt areas often vote for Republicans regardless of whether their situation improves as a consequence. You are saying that "blacks" make poor political decisions, unlike, say, you and your ilk. It's a poor form of argument to claim that everyone who disagrees with you is duped.

No Republican candidate makes a promise that he'll better the lives of whites unlike Democrat candidates who claim to benefit blacks. Yes, there are pockets of deep poverty like the Appalachia, but that's the entire area for several reasons such as the difficulty in hosting industries. Inner cities do not have that problem. I'm not sure what you mean by my "ilk."

Z: In fact, they hired an outside investigator, and the report is due in a few days.

We'll see but they don't have a good track record with "outside investigators" (see Code Strike).

Z: She deserves to be heard. She is supposed to have video of the incident, but it's never been made public.

Yes she does. I hope she releases that video if it exists.
