It helps to realize that it's the effect of the internet and it's not really indicative of everyone. A lot of discussions, comment sections, forums and so on are just the same group of people and not really a huge sample of the country like we tend to assume, something I realized a couple years ago when I noticed most comment sections on any big site were the same voices every time. Most people who go on the internet and read something don't comment on it. Otherwise, with the hundreds of millions with internet in this country, comment sections and forums and the like would be way past the thousands of comments, instead of hundreds. Hell, some of the people who do talk about things are from other countries, such as yourself, diluting that number even further.

I don’t even know why this is a political issue at all. Sexual abuse is gross no matter who did it. I don’t give a crap what party they affiliate with.

I agree, but you get some folks on both sides who are generally more worried about political implications for reasons ranging from practical to stupid.

Here in Alabama, the whataboutism and protection of the “party” is astounding in connection with Moore. People would rather vote for a sleezy old Bible Thumper than a Democrat because “Teh Libs!!!!”

So freakin gross.

I sort of expected that from Alabama, though. It's deep, deep red territory. If anything, I'm shocked the race has tightened as much as it apparently has since this came out. If that comes out as condescending or looking down on your home state, it's really just meant to be a statement on how far tilted it is. Though I'm sure there are plenty of people there concerned about the implications if this guy is elected.
