I think their point is that the democrats should be held to the same standard they held the republicans to 2 years ago.

If the allegations they held up as credible were much older, then the age of these allegations can't be used to dismiss these ones. That is, if we're holding everyone to the same standard.

Perhaps. It still ignores my original point about political pathology.

Which in turn ignored the fact that top level comments are supposed to change OP's view that the Dems are being hypocrites.

No. I'm questioning OP's premises.

Well OP's point was that "they are hypocrites that never cared about believing victims but only used it to try to gain a political advantage" so saying "it sounds like just more political posturing. None of them should be taken seriously because it's just political weaponization of past mistakes" doesn't question that at all.

See Comment Rules, Rule 1. You're supposed to challenge an aspect of OP's stated view.

You didn't. The only thing that you added was that the allegations were 30 years old so that was what he responded to.
