    again, it’s a matter of interpretation. you making excuses for it would look bad if the prevailing opinion matched mine.

      Facts are facts. She was not a political opponent because she did not get enough support to even participate in the debate. She was arrested for breaking the law, not for being a political opponent

        she was a political opponent. she opposed them politically and challenged them for election.

          She challenged them the same way a fly challenges an F-16.

            this is just rhetorical posturing. she had opposing political positions and was denied a platform with others vying for the same seat.

              Denied because she had insufficient support to qualify. That’s a requirement in every democracy on the planet to be considered a serious candidate.

                  It’s a representative democracy. If we can’t agree on at least this, then your opinions are not grounded in reality and there is no point talking further.

                those requirements are arbitrary.
