      an argument that was never made

      It says 0 scandals right there in the post

      Just because the other guy also has scandals doesn’t mean she has 0

      You didn’t make this absurd claim?:

      If something affects both sides it’s effectively “a wash” and cancel each other out.

      If you are victimized, you believe you then have the right to also victimize “to cancel it out”?

        Context is important, that’s how we continue the conversation.

        If Candidate A is a genocidal maniac, and Candidate B is a genocidal maniac. It’s effectively a wash and pointless to say “well Candidate A supports genocide!”

        Hope this clarified my meaning.

          Criticizing genocide is pointless if both major candidates support it.

          Apathy has paved a basis for genocide throughout history, your view is not novel nor beneficial.
