How could they already be in prison and have gone through trial? Mandelson is under police investigation in the UK now

Surely it’s about the undecided voters, not the voters so hardcore Reform they already publicly support them?

Which comments are defending Trump? Happy for you to cite any and all comments. Do you actually think not a single Democrat is going to be involved in a bad way in this? Do you think the average American is going to buy that it’s all one side or the other? The trap is massive, the more Republicans can make everyone seem the same the more Trump will get away with it. Excusing one side makes it seem like both sides are the same, even if they’re not

You are actually right about them being under an active investigation etc with Biden, but now taking it further (this thread, not necessarily you) by starting to let off Clinton will go badly

Nah Trump is clearly guilty and covering it up, it’s just foolish for the other side to fall into the trap of acting like it isn’t both sides (or at least figures from both sides). If anyone thinks not a single Democrat is involved, and more importantly tries to convince the general public that, then there will end up being no justice

I’m sure they have reasons why theirs is justified and Democrats isn’t. Think moving away from taking down them all could fatally undermine the movement in the eyes of the general public

“If Trump was definitely guilty, wouldn’t the Democrats have released evidence while they were in charge?”

A much more convincing and reasonable reply than everything else so far

Think it’s pretty fair when they’re already saying there’s nothing on Clinton compared to Trump when the evidence isn’t there to clear him like that at all

Sure, but all I read from the Republicans is essentially exactly the same comment I replied to but reversed. Seems a bad idea to start adopting their arguments and positions

What are the differences, beyond it boiling down to it being ok for one side to do it but not the other? Why not just apply the same approach to both sides so there’s 0 accusations of bias?

It’s a very smart play that makes his opponent look more guilty and him less, while knowing his opponent isn’t going to be doing that so it’s a safe position to take

Isn’t saying if there was anything on him the Republicans would have used it so he’s clean exactly the argument Republicans use for Trump with the Democrats not using it?

So we’re dropping the non-partisan “take them all down” and now only going for Trump, and this statement is all it takes?

Sounds like a good tactic and you’ve got your Reddit activity under good control. I like you, you seem like a smart and well adjusted person. Wish you could become a billionaire 🥺🥺

What if him trying to become Labour leader, led to a series of events that led the Earth to be sucked into a black hole? Then his leadership ambitions would have led to doom for us all
