Not gonna speak up about Roy Moore specifically but the whole issue in general. For a country that is so hell bent on political correctness, this whole thing is an absolute irony. Not discounting the possibility but whatever the fuck happened to innocent until proven guilty? Seems like that shit is just a suggestion and people will take claims as absolute truths. |
That's why I like to say potential. Feel people look at 'alleged' and equate it to a conviction

Saying “potentially” doesn’t mean much when your actions are what they would be if that person was actually guilty. Like the firing example I used. “We have to let you go because you are potentially guilty” vs “We have to let you go because you were found guilty”. It’s the same outcome but the first one disregards due process. |
He's also a shitty person. Accusations don't help either however. Just know I'll never automatically believe he's a sexual criminal. Whether he's a socialist or a hardcore rightie doesn't change that.
Moving past politics, I always have the fear of having my life ruined from a rape accusation. It's a serious claim, and Moore deserves to be left unaccountable if proven innocent. If not, then he should give up his power. That's my view

If he had already made up his mind he wouldn't be using "potentially"... |
Seriously. I would never automatically trust a rape accusation. Regardless of my views, I wil leave it at potential.
