I’m sorry, in this case, there’s much more to ponder than *always believe the victims* or *women almost never lie about sexual violence*. If you can’t see the political ramifications in this case, I can’t help you. Let’s be realistic, even if there was a trial, Assange would have a very good chance to win, since it…

That’s fair. At least you’re willing to recognize some nuance in the debate unlike some commenters.

I guess that makes more sense, but still seems like a big risk considering Clinton was already hostile to Russia, and seemed willing to take actions that would bring us into direct war w/ Russia, which I don’t think Putin would want. Raising tensions even more seems unnecessarily risky.

It’s not worth arguing. Liberals are just as brainwashed as conservatives.

My aunt’s husband is like that. Also believes Snowden is working for Russia or else, “Why hasn’t he leaked anything about their govt?” b/c that’s totally how it works. 

Lol, I get paid by the Kremlin right after I get off my shift working for Soros as a paid protester.

This is the mindset of conspiracy theorists. There’s a big over-arching plot that’s meticulously crafted by a govt. to bring us down. But like any conspiracy theory, the more you pull at a thread, the more it unravels.

You guys literally ignore election fraud and the fact that invasive techniques used to spy on people have been leaked because you don’t like the people telling you. I’d say you guys are the “useful idiots”.

Where are you getting this from?

Assange has spent the last 5 years at an embassy, because he is so afraid of rape charges that are so flimsy, that bringing them to trial would be a long shot anyway, let alone prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? Really, that’s who you want to sell this? Btw, next time you feel happy about Chelsea Manning’s pending…

Then you didn’t understand the comparison. Saudi Arabia is to Muslims what Sweden is to feminists - the purest, proudest home of their ideology, the one that always gets touted as the ideal by disciples around the world.

There could be a perfect solution to all of this. Sweden could guarantee Assange not to extradite him to the US, in exchange for him leaving the embassy and surrender to Swedish authorities. He said more than once that he would be willing to do that. He’s not afraid of some flimsy rape charges, he knows that these…

“Women I disagree with are mentally ill”

It’s like we only respect a women’s opinion if she agrees with us.
