No Rob, it can be used to distract, or to try to lessen the blow in general or to go after someone politically. To shift the convo to them.
Originally posted by SurturNope, I mr Room Trump because he hasn’t been held accountable for his actions. If he was still on The Apprentice and these sexual assault allegations came out, I would be rooting for him to lose his job. This has nothing to do with politics.
But politics is literally the reason you mention Trump lol.

Yes, progressives are hypocrites for suggesting that people accused of sexual misconduct should be held accountable regardless of party affiliation.
Meanwhile, not only is Surturd not calling for Trump to resign due to his sexual misconduct allegations, but he is actually advocating that Moore be elected despite his sexual misconduct allegations, all of which were with minors, no less. He has one standard for Democratic politicians, and another for Republicans, but that is not hypocrisy.
This is what blind partisanship does: it ruins your moral compass. You end up supporting people accused of sexual misconduct, hebephiles, and traitors to your own country, because you put party before anything else.

Lol, if Trump was not president you absolutely would not be pulling a "But Trump!" every time a sex scandal came out.

You might root for him to lose his job, but you would not be going "But Trump" every single time someone gets accused of sexual assault.
Originally posted by SurturThe “But Trump” is used to illustrate the hypocrisy of his supporters. If he wasn’t President, he wouldn’t have such supporters and therefore we wouldn’t need to “But Trump”

Except no one has tried to defend a "Leftist" caught here. No has has said "well, those men/women are liars", they've all been condemned. So you're wrong again.

And "whataboutisms" by conservatives have been used to illustrate the hypocrisy of Clinton and her supporters, and we still had people on the left b*tch about this.
Holy shit, what is the malfunction here lol. Just don't complain about whataboutism's if you feel like you might need to use them. This is not complicated.

How hard is he going to have to wash to get rid of that stink.

Where is your call for Trump to resign? Where is your call for Moore to drop out? Tell us more about why Republicans accused of sexual misconduct should be held to a different standard than Democrats.
I never said anything of the sort lol. Nor did I say it is hypocritical to want accountability, etc. What is hypocritical is to whine about a tactic and then use it yourself. This will not be something up for debate lol. It's just a choice you and others like you need to make. And if yo u can't choose you'll just look like hypocrites. Oh, let me be clear: you sure won't seem hypocritical to each other, and that is all that really matters, right?

And she stood behind a guy who does(I don't care about your excuses why) and tried to discredit women who stepped forward, then had the audacity to say "women have a right to be believed".
You will need to try again.

And it's not about out right defending, but merely of shifting the convo to Trump. Try again.
No need to, was correct; have been correct. The point: When people like Weinstein, Spacey, Lauer etc are outright repeatedly condemned from the start, where else do you want to go. Triple condemnations? Quadruple?
Meanwhile, people like you play 'he's a sex-pred; he's not' based solely on your feelings, as these cases are extremely similar in accusations.
We have a Sexual-Predator-in-Chief. He's endorsed a Sexual Predator of teens for Congress. These are facts.

By your rules, this makes you no better than Clinton, who you believe is the lowest form of pond-scum. Lol.
