Sure, both parties are corrupt. However, Bill Clinton hasn’t been president in decades. Donald Trump is the president right now. Last time Bill won an election, nobody in the public even knew who Epstein was or what he had done. Can’t say the same for Trump, and the people who voted him despite his Epstein ties because idk I guess Kamala got too woke or sumn

Lots of people have pictures with Epstein, that doesn’t inherently make them sexual predators. I think we can acknowledge that the Clinton’s, being powerful people, might be guilty here while being aware that these types of photos are not evidence of such by themselves

And I don’t say that bc I’m some Clinton dickrider who thinks he needs people to respect him or anything, just saying that throwing around accusations of pedophilia is counterproductive to having serious discussions about actual predators

Anyone associating with him after 2006 or whenever his accusations and trials became public are suspect. I’d argue anyone that spent time with him is at least suspect

Suspect? Absolutely. Corrupt? Likely yes. But a pedophile? Someone who rapes kids? What do we gain by throwing that around without any real reason to think it’s true?

I mean, if it’s false it’s false, but I think these sorts of people should have public ire thrown at them regardless. Their class is corrupt and purely evil by nature. What’s another accusation? I think the biggest lesson from this whole astonishingly disgusting fiasco is that we should give our gut feelings and assumptions more credit.

So? Trump will be gone or dead in a few years. Time doesn’t erase evil.

People still look to people like Bill Clinton for inspiration and admiration (which is insane regardless)

So how does calling bill Clinton a pedophile (despite there being essentially no evidence to support that) help victims of pedophilia? Should we call other unpopular people who have met Epstein pedophiles because they deserve some sort of ire and that’s a punchy accusation?

I’m not excusing Bill Clinton at all lmao, I’m saying that if both of these men got convicted and sent to prison for the Epstein shit, that it would clearly still be more sweat off Republicans’ backs than Democrats’ backs. Because one is actively leading their party, and the other one stepped out 26 years ago.

I mean that’s a fair “game” assessment but that doesn’t really negate their evil or counter the fact they should be criticized.
