    She was working to make sure that far worse harassment happened to much more vulnerable people.

    I’m not going to cry when she gets some splash damage.

      Back then, most people didn’t understand the threat that was Trump. I sure didn’t know all of the horrific things he did. This was pre Epstein. This was before Stormy.

      I thought he was just a bombastic rich asshole with a shit political outlook.

      Someone taking a job in that campaign had no reason to think it would be toxic. Most campaigns are not run by the candidate but by the party.

        I mean, he began his political career by a racist attack on Obama.

        He started his campaign by calling Mexican immigrants rapists and drug dealers.

        He said a judge couldn’t be fair to him because the guy had Mexican heritage.

        He openly campaigned on a Muslim ban in the US and commiting war crimes by killing the families of terrorists.

        There was a tape where he admitted to sexual assault.

        Any ignorance to the fact that he was a vile, racist, bigoted rapist was intentional. Doubly so if she worked to get him elected.

          Correct. Everyone full well knew what a sack of shit he was. 2016 at the absolute latest. Everyone in New York knew for decades. She knew.

        She worked to make my kids a target because she didn’t think it would impact her life.

        I don’t have any sympathy for anyone who did that.

        In your view, does anyone “deserve” mistreatment?

        Because being mangled by the machine you helped build to mangle people, kinda just seems like poetic irony.

            “Deserved” is a subjective qualifier though. It doesn’t really mean anything without reference to an ethical framework for context.

            Saying I deserve a doughnut, basically means I want a donut unless there’s a specific context that alludes to why you should be rewarded with a doughnut.

                I don’t really think so, otherwise they probably would have said it. I think you’re just utilizing loaded terminology to suit your argument.

                It would be like seeing the guys from jackass injure themselves in a stunt, and then accusing people who witnessed it of being callous for not being sympathetic. “No one deserves to break their penis for entertainment purposes!”… Well, okay, I guess that’s a nice platitude. But that guy was swinging his dick at an angry bull, and no one was making him do it.

                  I am so tired of this prescriptive bullshit on online forms. If you don’t see it then fine, you don’t see it. But don’t make up some nonsense about me to pretend I didn’t read what I read. We just disagree, it’s that simple.

                  Sometimes people mean more than the words in front of you. It’s called nuance, implications, etc. People mean more than what they literally wrote sometimes. Yet for some reason when we are on forums people pretend that doesn’t exist, like interpretation can’t exist ever.

                    Well, this would be fine if you weren’t attacking other people’s interpretations…

                    Usually when people witness a criticism they want to know the logic behind that criticism.

                    I think that’s because the whole point of forums is to express your ideas through the written word. Expecting people in a forum to interpret your argument with nuance when you express none is idiotic.
