Please tell me i’m not the only one who still finds this ridiculous and believes that only a court of law can determine guilt?

    You can make it a percentage of accusations on political candidates. I’m not gonna gotcha here, I just want to know what you think the percentage is, and what about this accusation you think is false. The only thing you’re saying is that it came out so late, but that’s not particularly weird for rape accusations, even those not against political candidates, so if there was more to why you think it’s fake, you should point out those details and how they differ from a normal accusation.

      You’re overthinking this. It’s just a matter of having a proper bullshit detector. Historically, these kinds of October surprises often turn out false. Republicans have used false rape allegations against Democrats before. You’re portraying this as me thinking the victim is lying, but all I want is for this to be properly adjudicated. I don’t support crucifying people without trial.

      You’re obsessing over a percentage because you’re playing a gotcha game, and honestly I just don’t have the patience for that nonsense.

        I think you’re over thinking this. If you don’t want to give a percentage, and you don’t want to point out what is different about this accusation from any other one… Then it just feels like you don’t care about the accusation. You say you have a bullshit detector, but you haven’t really brought up what part is bullshit other than the timing.
