34. Such a BS argument

Thu Dec 7, 2017, 04:53 PM

Dec 2017

Nobody is condoning what Franken is alleged to have done. What they are pushing back against is the lack of due process, and the fact people like you equate what he did with actual rape. If you thinking pinching an ass at a county fair is analogous to rape, forcible sodomy, or any other non-consensual sex act, you're not thinking logically at all. Ask yourself this: How would our legal system treat Franken vs. someone who actually raped someone? But in your world they are apparently the same. It's ridiculous.

But hey, just keep pushing. We'll see how women are treated as Republicans maintain majorities in 2018 and Trump wins re-election in 2020. If laying down like lambs is the best we can do, we are fucked.
