No, it's not completely absurd to think that a pedophile(and note that the examples are almost exclusively single persons, not "rings") in the DNC. There may be. No one has proven it. You will note that even the high ranking political persons in the examples were PROSECUTED.

What is absurd is the nonsense scenarios put forth known as Pizzagate.

It's a simple matter of irrelevance. That some relatively powerful people engaged in pedophilia does not mean that a pizza shop was involved in this case.

Of course, it could be the case that some Democrats have committed this heinous act. Obviously so, but the fact that these particular claims have no good evidence should dispel this story.

It's a strawman.
No one is saying democrats can't be pedophiles. If they did, they would be wrong.
 
Surely this is just stereotyping? The implication seems to be that, because a doctor is a paedophile, paedophilia is widespread in the field of medicine, and there is a cover-up culture. It seems obvious to me that, in reality, paedophiles come from all walks of life.
In some cases- the Catholic Church and the BBC, for example- the problem was known about, and covered up. In others, I doubt it.
Furthermore, at least two of the examples in the picture are wrong. "The Norwegian government" paedophile ring consisted of only two elected officials- out of 169 members of Parliament- of the 51 arrested.

Sir Leon Brittan was cleared, though tragically after his death, with the police saying the supposed witness had lied, and another saying he had 'gpne along with' the allegations, even though he knew they weren't true.

So saying that mockery of obviously fake stories like Pizzagate is wrong because it allows real paedophiles to go unnoticed and unprosecuted is just silly. Each accusation needs to be looked at on its own merits, not judged because of the job, political affiliation, associates or social status of the accused. I haven't seen anyone antwhere saying that Democrats can't be paedophiles because Pizzagate is false, nor that Pizzagate is justified because there actually are paedophiles out there.
