Not the same at all because there is reasonable doubt about whether or not the one allegation we are talking about (the Reade allegation) about Biden is true. Christians voting for Trump have a lifetime of Trump behavior to look at. They have stuff like that Access Hollywood video with him behaving like he behaved without any doubt about it. They have countless instances of him being demonstrated to have lied. There is absolutely no doubt that he cheated on his wives repeatedly. They spent decades saying that character matters in a President and now they're saying it doesn't.

It actually is reasonable for Democrats to say they don't know that Biden did what Reade accused him of. It is not reasonable for White Evangelical Christians to say Trump isn't what Trump is.
John, your bias is blinding you to the hypocrisy. It's not that we don't know if Biden did what Reade has accused him of (we don't). It's that Biden stated that all women should be believed and that he and his supporters were adamant that Kavanaugh was guilty based on statements that were probably more questionable than Reade's.

No. It was never stated that all women should be believed. That's a false narrative being proffered by the right at this time. The way Biden has put it is correct. All women making allegations should be presumed at the start as telling the truth then the situation should be openly investigated. The Republicans did not support that approach with Kavanaugh. The Democrats are supporting that approach with Biden.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

So you're telling me that the Democrats are treating the Biden allegations the same way they treated the Kavanaugh allegations?

And for the accused, presuming the allegations to be the truth is turning the American legal system on it's head. It's the opposite of innocent until proven guilty. I have no problem with giving the allegations credence and investigating them but they should not be presumed to be the truth.

The big difference is that the Republicans squashed additional inquiry. They clearly were not interested in investigating the situation. The Demcorats are not doing that. Now, Biden himself should go ahead and say "knock yourselves out" with respect to the University of Delaware materials. I think it's pretty reasonable to think there is nothing incriminating in them since Biden donated the materials.

But the Democrats are not behaving in the "cut the investigation off and don't pursue additional leads" manner that the Republicans did.
You're such a fucking clown show. "Cut the investigation off and don't pursue additional leads manner???" Really? :dunce:

The Donks don't want to even attempt to investigate, much less, "cut the investigation off". Who are the ones "not clearly interested in investigating the situation" now? Reade's allegation is infinitely more credible than any accusation made against Kavanaugh. Never mind the fact that Kavanaugh had previously went through five FBI background checks throughout the years.

You get more ignorant by the day.

#BelieveAllWomen was a social media campaign started in 2018 by your Leftist friends in opposition to the Kavanaugh nomination, period. You cannot rewrite history no matter how hard you try. All the receipts are out there in social media for everyone to see, you can't lie your way out of this one.

All there is the whole.....one is a lifetime justice on the Supreme Court......ya know....the entity that rules on our nations laws. The other a nominee for President. I think that Trump has proven that the President has really no effect on our personal lives despite groping, abusing, raping multiple women during his lifetime.

What makes Reade's "less questionable" (other than she is accusing a Dem)?

Who (Dem or Rep) is being accused has nothing to do with which one is more or less questionable. Was Reade under the influence at the time of the alleged incident? Was Blasey Ford? Did Blasey Ford's incident happen in a room with other people and did any of those other people remember the incident? Did Blasey Ford tell anyone about the incident soon after it allegedly occurred? Did Reade?

I'm not saying Blasey Ford wasn't telling the truth, she might have been.

Don’t go getting all persnickety now that you sympathize with JSOCD. Just pretend like its 2010 and he’s arguing how 14 year olds a fair game or you should be able to kill/cook/fuck your dog because he belongs to you and maybe you won’t feel the urge to jump to this myopic choad’s defense so readily

but I don't recall ever assigning anyone a fate of irrelevance

I agree that a specific post can be irrelevant for sure
we all make irrelevant posts around here - but assigning irrelevant status to somebody
just because YOU don't like their opinion is very 89hen of you

There is NO WAY JSO is irrelevant

No. It was never stated that all women should be believed. That's a false narrative being proffered by the right at this time. The way Biden has put it is correct. All women making allegations should be presumed at the start as telling the truth then the situation should be openly investigated. The Republicans did not support that approach with Kavanaugh. The Democrats are supporting that approach with Biden.
So you're telling me that the Democrats are treating the Biden allegations the same way they treated the Kavanaugh allegations?

And for the accused, presuming the allegations to be the truth is turning the American legal system on it's head. It's the opposite of innocent until proven guilty. I have no problem with giving the allegations credence and investigating them but they should not be presumed to be the truth.
And not just the dems...how about the press? 400+ articles on Kavanaugh....half a dozen on Biden.
