    So you’re just 100% sure he’s guilty?

    Wild stuff…

    Most people don’t just automatically assume every accusation is real, that’s just a bastardization of “believe all women” that people who never understood the phrase in the first place

    It doesn’t mean every accusation means there’s a guilty man somewhere, it means when someone makes an accusation it gets investigated.

    The flip side of that is when an accusation is made when there’s no time for an investigation, we ask why the accusations was held back till an investigation couldn’t be done in time.

    The alternative is bad faith actors make last minute accusations against anyone they don’t like, and surely you understand why that would be a bad thing…

      I think the evidence is damning so far and the journalists and politicians I trust believe the same thing.

      Add in that he’s a veteran with a drinking problem who has done some horrific shit in his life, this just reflects his history at the end of the day.

        I dunno if it’s better or worse that you admit all your prejudices, I don’t even know if you realize how se ist and bigoted you’re being, but its incredibly disappointing that you feel so comfortable believing that to say it in public.

        So I’m just going to choose not to see any of your other thoughts, shits depressing enough these days

      I hate how it’s always believe women until it’s someone you like. I saw it happen with Andrew Callahan, Andrew is literally a violent rapist that got off by saying he was “just being a pest” and “he didn’t even really know he was being a pest so it’s all good”. Because people like his YouTube videos they’ll say “well he’s a necessary journalist in these times!” Even tho he makes documentaries on very basic stuff.

      Y’all really do excuse anything as long as the person has (D) by their name.

      As if the Neo colonial pro US military rhetoric and the fucking Nazi tattoo he walked around with FOR 18 YEARS wasn’t an immediate issue then the previous few allegations that yall ignored or straight up denied should have been… But now I see supposed progressive voters STILL saying don’t believe rape victims against people who run Dem. Got it.

      even the more “left” arm of the democrats like DSA can run rapist Nazi chuds who talk the right talk and STILL can’t beat someone like Susan Collins, that’s fucking pathetic you guys! Get better!
