On the Biden story, as I said in its thread, while it could be true it also could not be; there's no proof either way, she has not proven her case like Kavanaugh's accuser, Weinstein's accuser, and others have done. Instead, it has gone like this:
1) refuse legal help, she only wants pr (Me Too will help with pr, but only for people also interested in some kind of legal case, if I have that right)
2) refuse vetting attempts from most of the press, so many don't report on it apart from the left fringe (this includes things like refusing to tell other press the name of the friend she says she told back in the early '90s, etc.)
3) complain that they aren't repeating your story unconfirmed (while this is merely good journalism, certainly report the story if you can confirm it, but not otherwise...)
4) the story festers
5) regardless of intent, the end result is it helps Trump in November by depressing some on the farther left
Even so, I certainly wish that we could have a younger and less troubling candidate (since Biden has issues with his actions around women, obviously, regardless of this claim; again this is part of why I didn't vote for him in the primary), but he is consistently the one who gives us the best chance to win in polling and that's the most important thing, so if things continue in the direction they are I'm quite looking forward to November.
Biden also can be a moving speaker when he wants to be:
