It’s really really infuriating that it seems to be an almost universal law that if someone is running for office they are exactly the wrong kind of person and should never be allowed to hold office. Douglas Adams puts it in a more humorous way: The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Is it really that hard to refrain from [sexually assaulting] someone? Yes. Is it easy to accuse someone? Yes. Does that mean the person did it? No. Does it mean they didn’t? No.

Yeah it’s frustrating as fuck. At the same time, there were so many massive red flags. And I was excoriated here for mentioning them.
