it obviously pisses me off that people don't care if politicians are sex criminals in general, but even if you think "well why should i care about their personal life if i agree with them on the issues", a person who sexually harasses people is definitionally a person who will abuse their power - ThreadSky

I mean they HAVE abused their power, right? Ship’s sailed.

a person who thinks they have the authority to override another person's lack of consent is literally an autocrat

And there it is! The abuse of power doesn’t end and Cuomo has a proven track record of it on multiple fronts.

BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY 9 SUPREME COURT JUSTICES and we have two sexual predators on the Supreme Court. It’s not ok

the bad guys are counting on that

“i want him to abuse people i find cringe” is a big voting block

Men in power who sexually abuse women don’t see women as equals and deserving of the same rights. Does anyone think their policies won’t reflect that belief?

Politicians having sex, extramarital or same sex or whatever, as long as it's consensual between adults, doesn't bother me. Even if they cheat on their significant others. Politicians trying to police other people's sex lives or being hypocritical of sex acts that they do themselves does.

Maybe it’s people who aren’t from NY

But.. I feel like it’s incredible that people seem to have memory holed Cuomo…

He was hated by the vast majority of New Yorkers for constantly abusing his power in annoying and obnoxious ways.

The sexual harassment was like symbolic of this overall corruption

"my personal life? like, hobbies? im mostly just a woman abuser. but it doesnt affect my capacity to hold power over new york city"

bad sign that i cycled through twelve guys before i figured out which one you were talking about

YES. I often say that the whole attitude of "just taking"--the narcissist's creed--is the same whether it's a woman's body or a position you cheat to attain, or someone else's land. Lump is a rapist. What he and his enablers are doing to our citizens is political rape.

It's not like an affair or something where you can call it being a prude. He has bad moral character!

Sexual expression is closely tied to our expression of power.

You think Trump et al using the same words as a domestic abuser or rapist would clue them in on that. If they rape women, one day they may figuratively or literally rape you and the ones you love.

counter to the "purity politics" a lot of people seem to have developed an instinctual desire for "impure" politicians for some fuckin reason. like, as if the stuff we know is the only bad stuff about them, or like you said, as if that sort of stuff doesn't show a person's true character

kathbarbadoro.bsky.social•1 day ago

yeah it really seems like "oh no "DEI" is unpopular so let's run a rapist to show we aren't woke" lol

dommedeluise.bsky.social•1 day ago

really sucks to live in a vice-signaling echo chamber tbh

there is a crass reactionary strain of anti-establishmentism which gravitates toward "heterodox" figures, assuming that aesthetically breaking from common Decorum expected of institutions necessarily makes them anti-institution, which, lmao, the rapists have always been The Institution

kathbarbadoro.bsky.social•1 day ago

"my heterodox belief is that i think rape is ok" is kinda darkly funny when you think about it. like yes im center left on everything except cannibalism

alwaysflacko.bsky.social•16 hours ago

They want their own Trump
