No wonder ROTUS wants to return to the 1800s when rich white men could rape whoever they wanted.

    I don’t think this will move the needle AOC way, calling him rapist however will only make MAGA close the ranks around him. So it may actually backfire. Lots of respect for AOC but I think that was not the moment in which such statement can have amplified effect

      Hard disagree.

      Everyone should be calling him a rapist, because he is.
      Also they should be talking about all the court cases for the rapes and sexual assaults as well.

      Ok, no, it won’t change any maga ‘minds’. They are too far gone, but I’m sure there are a lot of people out there that don’t know he’s a convicted rapist.
      And if they don’t know that then they won’t know about all the other ‘alleged’ 😏😏 rape and sexual assault cases

      Liberals say this all the time. We can’t say or do X because it will just embolden MAGA! That’s how you end up with feckless nothings like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Fascists need to be challenged at every opportunity.

        Don’t leave Fetterman out of your list. He castigated his fellow Democrats for daring to call Trump a convicted felon, saying we’re supposed to be the party of “forgiveness and redemption”.

      Yeah no that’s dumb. The man is literally a rapist and people need to fucking talk about it because nobody of consequence ever fucking does.

      Yeah. We should be soft on him until some magical moment. Then it will be time to strike with more strongly worded letters. Thanks for reminding us.


      GUYS! Don’t be mean to Trump. We need to be nice to him, for now.

      I think she’s pointing out he’s actually a rapist.

      Don’t play it off like they don’t circle their wagons around him at any criticism.

      Lol read the news already. MAGA is pissed off at him for this entire issue.
