No dude, people are allowed to vote against a person for character traits that are degenerate, even if legal. This isn't a court of law, it is a political election.
Republicans don't want to vote for groomers. Roy Moore came across as a groomer. Simple as.
No dude, it's too late to backpedal on your own comment.
People can vote for or against whoever they want for whatever reason. Roy Moore was taken to a court a law on bullshit charges by a known shyster as a political hit piece.
Is it really necessary for someone to point out that you two are obviously arguing past each other?
One hand: Legal prosecution. The obvious: It is bad to prosecute based on lies.
Other hand: Social constraint. The obvious: It is unseemly as fuck for a grown man to be widely known for blatant ephhebo...macking on young chicks.
Some people found Moore's behavior nasty, and that is normal and okay. Other people attempted to legally prosecute Moore, and that appears to be unfounded and not okay. Nothing about this combination of true circumstances is incompatible.
