NY Times: For Bernie Sanders, Claims of Sexism in 2016 Campaign Hang Over 2020 Bid

50. Yes, what about them. Would 4 or 5 different posts about these very similar issues be tolerated

here ?

Allegations that sexual harrasment occurred by/of member of Sanders campaign. He has addressed the matter and said that he was unaware of these events at the time but acknowledged that they went from 3 campaign people to 1200 almost overniight and admittly did not have a handle on all personnel issues and mentioned steps to address this in any future campaigns. I am inclined to be belive him. Knowing what was going on with 1200 newly hired camaign people while he is canvassing the country is not probable.
If it surfaces that he was aware of the hsrrasment and did nothing, that is a different matter


The WAPO article mentioning Senator Harris top aid involved with harrasing another staffer during her tenure as attorney general of California. The case was settled by her successors and this surfaced shortly after she took her Senate seat. She fired the aid who was now working for her Sacremento office and said that this was the first she had heard of it. I am inclined to trust the Senators integrity and believe her on the matter. However it would not be unreasonable for someone to doubt that an AG of her caliber would be unaware that her top aid was accused of sexual harrasment of his own assistant and that a settlement of the case took place while he was employed by her and she hadnt heard about it.

In the case of the harrasment that occurred during Hillary's 2008 campaign that surfaced in 2016. She was aware of the harrasment and chose not to fire the top aid who was accused. He went on to work for a group supporting her campaign in 2016 where he was fired for another harrassment claim. The faithful did not care.

I ask (knowingly) is this the way to operate on this forum ?

What faction is posting regular negative post about potential candidates in this race ?
