The State of the Democratic Party Post-2016

[G-Tech Corporation]

Oh? Has new evidence come up?

We're talking about Roy Moore I presume. The evidence explains itself.

Ah, the only evidence I have heard about is personal testimony from decades ago. Admittedly, not anything to be dismissed out of hand, but not exactly damning. Witness testimony is hilarious unreliable scant days after crimes, let alone years, let alone longer.

Granted, Moore himself seems like a skeevy crazy. But my personal intuition isn’t really a source for use when voting.

[Northern Davincia]

You'd think some of it was, judging from your new bio.

One can be an anti-commie without being full McCarthy. I just like to parody my own beliefs tbh.

Take the leap, friend. We can testify to HUAC together.

And, as much as people on both sides like to throw the term around. I'd like you all to remember that welf are programs, no matter how large, are not socialism.

He was banned from a MALL for being creepy to young girls. That's pretty telling to be honest.

Mm, I had heard that. GoogleFu says there isn’t substantive evidence, with modern allegations coming from hearsay and testimony from people who think they remember things forty years ago. The same problem as witness testimony really.

Again, not saying we should dismiss it. But that’s hardly a smoking gun, especially in a climate that is spewing out such accusations right and left, in the middle of a political campaign.

...no? We've gotten confirmations from police and mall security that they did in fact ban him and try and keep him away from cheerleaders at HS football games because he was a known creep.

"I'm not saying we should dismiss it. But we should dismiss it."

I mean, it should be a source. Probably not the sole one, but given that he's already throwing off the skeevy crazy vibe, and has a bunch of sexual allegations, one would think you'd give some more weight to it.

I'm also surprised to hear someone so concerned about Hillary's supposed corruption is now talking at length about there not being any definitive proof regarding what Roy Moore may or may not have done "decades ago." It's almost like you're suddenly changing your mind when your party is suddenly the one with an un-prove-ably corrupt (or in this case, rape-y) candidate. :^)

Yeah, not like he signed his work or anything.

[Arlenton]

Franken is resigning tomorrow.

At least he knows when to quit.


...Roy Moore...

No, no, the yearbook is fake news manufactured by WaPo and Lenny Goldstein or [other Jew-y name] just to make Roy look bad!!!!1

Well, no, we really don’t. We have one man, a former worker at the mall, recalling that a different man, a security guard at the mall, told him to watch out for Moore. The same worker also noted that Moore frequented that mall despite being supposedly banned there.

I mean, you should strongly consider why you think a thirdhand source remembering an event forty years ago is credible. That’s... a really low bar as far as evidence goes.

I’m hardly saying we should dismiss it- merely weight it appropriately, which to me, would seem to be fairly lowly. Alongside other witness testimony seen across the gap of decades. Not not at all, which would be dismissing it.

Sure, but I’m talking about evidence for people who aren’t me; my intuition is no more credible than that of any other schmuck off of the streets.

What’s this about me and Hillary’s corruption?

Yeah, not like he signed his work or anything.

If you’re referring to him “not knowing someone” and his name being in their high school yearbook, hell, I don’t remember half of my classmates from high school, and I’m a damn sight closer to those years than he is.

Again, not something we should discount, but not something that exactly qualifies as a smoking gun. I won’t be too surprised if the accusations are confirmed. I also won’t be too surprised if they turn out to be so much hot air, all other things equal.

I’m sorry, how many 30 year old high schoolers do you know?

Two women with yearbook autographs from Moore despite his claims to have never met any girl.

Like, Franken's stuff is mild in comparison to Moore or Trump, but it doesn't matter. They should all be held accountable. I am seeing a lot of people saying "You shouldn't resign until Trump does!" and it's kind of pathetic we're making this a political issue.

He shouldn't resign, period, even if Trump went first.

[USS Monitor]

You'd think some of it was, judging from your new bio.

One can be an anti-commie without being full McCarthy. I just like to parody my own beliefs tbh.

Life's a lot more enjoyable if you know how to laugh at yourself.

[Corrian]

Al Franken officially resigned.

I don't think one can simply laugh at an ironclad.

Saw that. But of course Moore is A-Ok.

Well you can if you've simply lost all sanity in the face of realizing that you're about to get blammed by a 987 long tons mass of "Fuck you Rebels"

Well better dead then slowly rotting in a prison camp I guess.

I'd settle for "go back to your farm and stop being a traitor"
But conscription is a bitch sometimes.

Yeah, that's sadly a reality in wartime when resources are already strained.
