You are only black if you are a Democrat. You are only a female if you are a Democrat. You are only gay if you are a Democrat. We believe her (if she is a Democrat) Your allegations only matter if it’s against Republicans.
I expect people to include recent cases when discussing supposed "rules," yes. If the most notable recent case defies the rule, maybe it isn't a rule after all.

Interesting, I don’t.

How many times can the opposite of a "rule" happen before it's no longer a rule?
-
I don’t think there’s some number which applies to all cases. Why don’t you look at cases where we only have *say-sos* (as in Ford’s v weak case) and tell me how many we have on both sides. Not very good evidence when your counter is one we have pictures, and multiple accusers

The most prominent Republican faces many accusations of sexual assault, hasn’t hurt him. A prominent Democrat got accused of far less, ousted from Senate. “Your allegations only matter if it’s against Republicans” does not match reality.

Again, the entire force of your reply is to take that phrase woodenly literal, hence why you think one example disproves it. But I’d say you and I live in different epistemic universes if you think none of that has hurt trump.

Yes, the point I made was the point I was trying to make. If you’re interested in arguing against a point I didn’t make, I can’t help you.

I began by agreeing with you but then gave a subtler reading to the claims which avoided you simplistic gotcha. If you didn’t want to go down that road, should’ve just replied “oh I don’t care about that, Imma get my daily dose of low hanging fruit.” I can be smarmy too. :)

It’s not a simplistic gotcha. It’s arguing that two years of new data should be factored in. I don’t know why you’re so adamant that it shouldn’t.
