The Book "Shattered" - Inside stories of Hillary's campaign

[Doimper]

I'm interested in reading it, but my emotions about that night are still pretty raw. There were definitely problems with the candidate and her campaign, but that in no way a justifies electing an outright authoritarian and demagogue to the White House.

Eventually, Trump voters will see this beyond strict party ID and ideology: he is and always has been wrong for our country, and better suited for a dictatorship.

Jeez. Calm down. He's not THAT bad.

He got caught on a hot mic bragging about raping women

sure...it was uncouth, but letting him do it implies "consent".

Consent is never implied. It has to be explicit.

This is the mindset of actual rapists.

Eh, that's a very, very thorny subject. Discussing consent without discussing context is rather myopic. Plenty of people in relationships never explicitly grant consent to each other, but that doesn't mean they're raping each other.

Sure, I agree that there's a different dynamic in relationships and certain other situations, but it definitely applies in the context of Donald Trump groping random women.
