So when it comes to the democratic presidential primaries in the United States, things didn't go the way I wanted. As sad as it is, my favourite candidate Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign a month ago and in all likelihood won't be the nominee.
The biggest reason for this is that the Democratic Nation Committee again went all in against Bernie. After the first primaries, they put all their weight behind Joe Biden, pushed every other 'centrist' candidate out of the race and managed to consolidate the support for him.
At the same time, just because it currently looks like that former vice-president Biden is going to be the nominee, things don't exactly look good for him. There are some real issues that might still force him out of the race if things don't go his way.
Indeed, last week it was revealed in the news that there is a serious sexual assault accusation against him. According to a claim by Tara Reade, a former aide of his, Biden raped her in 1993 (rape with fingers) when she was working in the United States Senate.
So when it comes to the credibility of these claims - based on the reading I've done, it has to be said that her claims seem to be credible. It's very likely that Biden did assault her on the capitol hill and that she's actually telling the truth here.
The reason for this is that even though there's obviously no video of the alleged incident, there's a lot of contemporary corroborating evidence that supports her claim. Reade told multiple people about the incident either right after it happened or later over the years.
Indeed, among other witnesses, the witness list includes her mother (that even called Larry King live about her daughter's 'problem' with Biden) and an aide to late Sen. Ted Kennedy. There are also at least four other people that confirm her story.

Based on the amount of witnesses she has, you might think that her claims would have been accepted in the 'leftist' media. Surely the #metoo- liberals like Alyssa Milano and the rest of the elite democrats would have taken her account seriously.
Unfortunately, that has simply not been the case here at all when it comes to Biden. The hypocrisy and the double standards that they have exhibited in this case has been absolutely mindboggling and really preposterous if we're being honest here.
Indeed, unlike with Christine Ford's claim against Brett Kavanaugh a year ago, they just don't believe Reade. They think that she's lying and is not to be trusted (can't recall some of the tertiary aspects of the case, because she's in debt, or because she has Russian friends).
What is especially egregious about the whole thing is that in reality Reade's claim against Joe Biden is orders of magnitude stronger than Ford's case against Kavanaugh was. There's so much more evidence that something actually happened between these two.
After all, even though Ford was very likely truthful in her claims against Kavanaugh, her case just wasn't that strong. Unlike Reade, she didn't have any witnesses corroborating her story about the events (her main witness said she couldn't remember it happening).

In that sense, when you consider the importance and the implications of the case as a whole, it's pretty clear that the democratic establishment should get a clue here. They really shuld come to their senses and stop pretending that there's no problem here.
After all, even though the stakes are high here and it's true that it isn't easy to come to grips with the idea that your 'own' democrat candidate might be a rapist, you can't stay in denial forever. You have to be able to come to terms with reality at some point.
In that sense, when it comes to guessing how this case is going to develop in the media, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about how things are going to progress. There's a reason to believe that at some point the dam might break when it comes to Biden's denials.
After all, especially considering that Reade just did a mainstream interview with Megyn Kelly, I'm feeling that something might happen here. I'm feeling optimistic and that at some point the pressure is going to be too much and that Biden has to drop out of the race.
