Does being concerned about standards of proof in accusations make you a dumb conservative?

I ask it because I'm concerned about that. Also, I'm not a conservative. But if I criticize Blasey Ford I get accused of being a GOP shill or whatever. Why are leftists so arrogant?

I believe there's reason to be concerned about the claims made against Kavanaugh. I don't automatically suggest he's guilty, but it would be reasonable to thoroughly check these claims. A week long investigation doesn't cut it.

No. But using "I care about truth!" as the basis for a victim/persecution complex makes you seem much more interested in trying to make friends than focusing on the quality of truth.

I'd wager you don't know anything more beyond the info-dumps you occasionally get from biased people who frequent 4chan and reddit. You're definitely using the vernacular. I'd also go so far as to say you're probably a memer. And memers generally get their political insight in like 5 sentence paragraphs. Ie: "SJWs TRIGGERED about Cuphead!"

BUT I DIGRESS.

If you have a genuine interest in truth and justice, you really COULD make a difference by picking a career in the justice system. Only 1 in 5 Americans trust it, after all.

I get that this Kavanaugh confirmation thing is not a trial, and the standard of evidence should not be the "Beyond Reasonable Doubt" used for criminals.

But in a civil trial, the standard of evidence is "The Preponderance of the Evidence." And even using that weaker standard, Ford's accusations and "evidence" wouldn't even come close to it.

So given that it won't even meet that lower standard, and that there's really no evidence whatsoever, I think it's just silly not to confirm Kavanaugh.
