    I get it, this is one major reason why I’m not interested in getting into politics myself, but I think if you’re willing to take on this role in government then you should be willing to stand up for it. Pretty easy of me to say sitting behind this screen though.

      She’s not really a politician though. I agree for the politicians, and I agree ideally everyone should, but most people are just trying to get by and only looking out for themselves.

        I’m really on the fence with this one, she’s not a politician but it is still a pretty public position in the government. I do, however, think that we need to some how figure out how to dissuade people from making death threats, they have become far too normalized at this point, but I suppose with 300 million people in this country you’re going to have a large number of the population (even if it’s a small percentage) that take things to the extreme and I don’t know how you fix that. Like, how do you teach empathy to people who clearly don’t have any?
