That’s kinda the point I was making. The meme says “these guys kept child sex slaves”. Someone responds that Clinton didn’t have the same level of involvement as Trump and Epstein. Someone else responded “they want to believe their guy is good”. My response is basically “saying that he isn’t a pimp isn’t saying that he’s good”.
There are different levels of evil. All should be dealt with. Maybe the worst (the pimps, traffickers, ringleaders and financiers) should get priority, especially if they pose a greater threat to everyone else? Pointing that out is in no way excusing the lesser evil.
I haven’t seen anyone in this thread saying anything positive about Clinton. At most, a few folks have pointed out that we haven’t seen any rape accusations against Clinton in the files. I doubt that you’ll find anyone here who doesn’t want this whole mess properly investigated and for all of the guilty parties to get appropriate punishment.
I feel like I could have this same argument with a Trump supporter:
Trumpie: “Well, Clinton’s in the files too”
Me: ”I haven’t seen anyone tangible accusations, but if he committed crimes then lock him up”
T: “You just want to defend your guy”
Me: “Um, I really don’t. And please refrain from calling him ’my guy’”
I haven’t seen anyone in this thread saying anything positive about Clinton.
I’ve seen a lot of proactive defense of him from the same people who demanded unquestioning worship of the second worst genocide supporter. This is the same garbage.
We keep being told to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. There is no good on offer. Just varying levels of reprehensible shit.
