    Nah dude, I wasn’t calling you a hypocrite. I was trying to reframe it so that you could see how whatever her sexuality is would be weaponized against her. It’s a bad idea, for people that "have nothing to hide.

    Would you want the world to know all the porn you ever looked at? Cause I wouldn’t, and from what I can tell, I’m into some pretty tame shit.

      I wouldn’t run for office. And if you’re worried about that sort of thing and don’t want people to know about it, maybe you shouldn’t either. Because if they learn, you’ll be in a world of shit of your own making when you could have avoided it.

        The result of this is that the only people who can get into office are literally perfect or they’re very good at hiding their activities. You leave no room for normal people with varying levels of flaws and foibles and ‘weird’ interests to participate.

        So let’s push normal people out of public office, and make sure to only have sociopaths who have no shame?

        For example, I looked up a spider monkey’s vagina because a book about sexuality my partner was reading said they have large external clitoris coming out of their butt.

        I can bet you all my wealth that it would be used by Republicans to say I’m into bestiality and a sexual deviant.

          Why would someone vote for a sociopath with no shame if they saw that from their browser history?
