Actually you're right, my apologies.
Any acknowledgement of fucking rape is actually just a cynical ploy to make a party that was never going to win the election lose the election.
Quoting here because this person admits they delete most of their comments after a week and I want context for my replies.
Calm the fuck down. Stop acting foolish.
There is a time and place for all things. Any other day, any day outside of today and maybe yesterday. Most of the year is an appropriate time. This day of all days is not okay. Cry about it because for one lousy day or two I think it's inappropriate to air this stuff given it doesn't even personally involve violations by the candidates and is just hurting them by association.
I don't think that's extreme. Given these are not new accusations, dredging them up at this moment is clearly sabotage meant to harm the votes they get and enthusiasm for the party and the larger movement. Again, it's fine to discuss these at a reasonable time and place. Unlike the Democrats whose reasonable time and place for dissension from their party is a few weeks every 2 years between midterms the time for this IMO is just about every day except election day and the days immediately before it. There have been months of time to bring this up during which I wouldn't bring these accusations, if they made these 24 hours later I also wouldn't care. But they didn't do that. They deployed them strategically at the worst possible moment. And when they've had all this time, months and months and years to discuss this given it wasn't a surprise Cruz is who we're voting for and she's PSL the fact they waited until now is not right.
I need to calm down, but you feel comfortable calling multiple people here federal agents? For acknowledging things that have been public knowledge for literal years?
If PSL wanted this to not be brought up at inconvenient times, they could've worked with every party until they were satisfied. You can't leave a sore festering, and then get upset when it gets picked at at an inconvenient time.
