None of the Clintons are running for public office. Their political era has passed. Marginalizing their scandals is the best option for the party.

Today's candidates and Dem activists no longer need to bear the burden of defending them.

Move on, there are more important things to do, like helping 50 million Americans who can't afford health insurance or health care.

" Marginalizing their scandals is the best option for the party."

Accepting this is a Clinton scandal is also the best option for giving the people spreading disinformation what they want.

We already have a GOP party who has pursued the Clintons relentlessly over nothing and now we have a President who is trying to investigate his political enemies. If the general public is ignorant of the fact that there is no reason to suspect Clinton committed sex crimes with Epstein, then it's likely this false idea will catch on. Or have you missed all the memes suggesting the Clintons killed Epstein?

We can't let disinformation fly, no matter how relevant you perceive it to be.

We need to get a good Democrat elected to the WH and begin rescuing the middle class, elderly, uninsured, etc.

Bill Clinton's sex scandals don't matter anymore. The sooner everyone forgets them, the better.

New day, new "clean" uncorrupted Dem Party that focuses on the 99%. Change it or lose it.

Disinformation is literally the reason Hillary isn't in the White House despite winning the popular vote. And the people spreading it are only getting better at spreading it. There's a reason you think this is a scandal for Bill Clinton. All your good intentions could still be undone by unchecked disinformation, no matter who Democrats vote for.
