the party of bill gates best buds with epstein is making a moral claim. if some republicans are pedos I say prosecute them and lock them up.
now its your turn say it about democrats
Funny how you think doing wrong is mutually exclusive to political parties. Wrong is wrong regardless of the perpetrator.
btw, Gates donates just about equally to republicans and democrats. Also, who's labor secretary let epstein off easy?

99.75% of these cases are of people within a few years of each other. That's not what pedophilia is in the inherent understanding of the idea. In real life the difference between a 17 year old and and 18 year old is basically nothing in maturation or ability to apply sound decision making. You're basically looking at some stake in the ground and using it to try to frame the other side as having some nefarious reasoning and logic for not wanting obtuse and rigid laws. A very cheap and skin deep "gotcha" argument which falls apart when unpacking the true nature of this topic.
The hilarity of this is, people like you hyperventilate about a 19 and 17 year old getting married to have sex while you see nothing wrong when someone like DiCaprio who's 48 is banging 22 year olds.
Sure seems like you're a pedo sympathizer.
You're basing your whole argument on how you feel and you don't back it up with an outside source.
"According to Unchained at Last, in the U.S., approximately 60,000 marriages since 2000 have occurred at spousal age differences that could have been considered a sex crime, allowing a marriage license to become a sort of "get out of jail free" card for a would-be rapist. Particularly if they impregnate the victim."
You're condoning child rape no matter how you spin it. In most states is the idea of entering a minor into a marriage before they're old enough to bring a legal action in their own name is a horrible legal trap.
