It's weird that you ignore the power balance, and all the other credible accusations. LOL, yeah, his friendship with Epstein looks bad. I never said it was proof of anything, but it strains credulity to think that he wasn't involved. It's also politics, so we need Democrats with better judgement.

You still seem to think I'm making a both sides argument and trying to draw some equivalence. My point is that Democrats are unnecessarily burdening themselves by tacitly excusing bad behavior from it's leadership. The Republicans are shit from top to bottom. Democrats have other choices.

Clinton is irrelevant in the national conversation. He is not irrelevant in Democratic leadership.

Epstein was connected with plenty of people from both parties, and in ways that implicate, not just associate. Bill is just the biggest example. There is no vast conspiracy to bury the story, but rather a tacit understanding in mainstream media that this story is radioactive and best left alone. Better Democrats wouldn't have put us in this position.

Also relevant is the fact that Biden appears to have steered almost entirely clear of such scandal over a very long career, and he gets full credit for that. I am only aware of one purported incident, and there is enough room for doubt in it that I would defer to his otherwise clean record. Between Biden and Trump, it's damn clear who is better. It's just too bad that Biden is hampered in benefitting from that by a history of scandal he has nothing to do with.
