It's unnerving how fast the bar has fallen regarding what makes a core characteristic for a national leader. I mean, decency?! Really?! It has me punch drunk and scrambling to get a hold of my basic sanity. I also hate the Catch 22 trap we are in now. No candidate has zero skeletons in the closet, but we get to this place where the liberal candidate needs to be near perfect as they try to win on high moral principles (but can't because there's always something) and the conservative candidate can be a total piece of crap human being as long as they are willing to win at all costs. I'm at the point of the roller coaster where all I can do is hang on and hope I survive. Looks like I picked the wrong year to quit sniffing glue.

Having raped at least one woman, and having sustained a system that is so dependent on slave labor that the NYT calls releasing prisoners from COVID infested hellholes, so they can't be coerced to risk their lives fighting wildfires for free, isn't anywhere 'near perfect'.

Calls it a mistake, god every disgusting thing leads to so many others so quick nowadays it's easy to lose track when you list them.
