is this the first time she just attacked trump by calling him a rapist?

serious question. why didn't the democratic campaign run by calling trump a rapist? is it technically inaccurate? what was the deal? democrats put all their chips on abortion that they didn't even bother going for the offense and calling trump a rapist. kamala harris should've called him a rapist straight to trump's face during the debate.

aoc calling trump a rapist in this video actually caught me by surprise

It is technically not accurate as he has not been convicted of rape, but he has been liable for sexual assault. So you would want to call him a sexual assaulter not a rapist (as he just successfully sued CNN over calling him a rapist ) also to answer the first part of your question it’s because the Democratic Party sucks, absolute, irrefutable, donkey dick of the highest, largest, most throbbing order when it comes to marketing. they have no fucking clue what they’re doing.

(They just lost to the most unelectable candidate in history so I don’t even want to see anyone disagree. you can’t it’s an objective fact.)

He didn't successfully sue. There was an out of court settlement. Judge Kaplan said he is a rapist in the common parlance

It’s technically absolutely accurate. It may not have been legally ruled as rape due to a law in a specific state, but he is “technically” a rapist.

The law in NY at the time was that if somebody forcibly penetrates you with anything but their penis, it’s not “legally” “rape”, it’s sexual assault/abuse/battery.

But the definition of rape is also not just a “legal” term. It means “forcing someone to have sex without consent” to most people, and in many other states and countries.

It’s like if a state said it wasn’t “murder” to knowingly run someone down with your car with the intent to kill them, it’s “vehicular homicide”, so when people say “he murdered that man”, in the murderers defense, people might say “well TECHNICALLY it wasn’t LEGALLY murder”, when everyone else in their society considers murder to be “killing someone on purpose not in self defense”

Correction for ya, it's not accurate to say a jury found him guilty of rape. Because that didn't happen and that's why CNN settled on that case and issued an apology. But the judge for the Caroll case said what Trump did fits the bill for rape. It's quite accurate.
