8. The headline and first sentence were so promising

Yes, one should listen and due process is important. And due process is something that both sides deserve.
I'm also wondering who the investigative journalists are that corroborated certain aspects of her story. Those like Farrow certainly couldn't corroborate the assault charges and they couldn't find anything close to that behavior in Biden's past.
It's pretty dangerous to be that vague and ambiguous concerning such a topic and what the findings so far were. It makes it sound as if certain parts of the account about the rape could be corroborated when that isn't the case and I know AOC didn't mean it that way.

And no, it doesn't necessarily seem that something happened. And what exactly is supposed to have happened? One has to be careful and more precise when addressing a series of changed charges that range from verbal misconduct to rape.

So what is her idea of "due process"? nt DURHAM D May 2020 #1

Actually she didn't claim to know better at all. She was focusing on the importance of the voters' JudyM May 2020 #22
