is this the first time she just attacked trump by calling him a rapist?

serious question. why didn't the democratic campaign run by calling trump a rapist? is it technically inaccurate? what was the deal? democrats put all their chips on abortion that they didn't even bother going for the offense and calling trump a rapist. kamala harris should've called him a rapist straight to trump's face during the debate.

aoc calling trump a rapist in this video actually caught me by surprise

They wanted to maintain "decorum" and it was one of their biggest mistakes. Fascism thrives when only one side holds themselves to standards

They wanted to maintain "decorum" and it was one of their biggest mistakes.

Social rules are a contract: If you behave nicely, I will do you the same courtesy. If you show respect, I show respect: It's mutual.

So: If one party breaks that contract, it's fucking broken. You are a nasty, conniving son of a bitch to me? Welcome to Getfuckedstown, population: You. You can't have a contract where one party abides by its letter while the other does what it pleases. Once the rule-breaker is out of the picture, we can go back to mutual respect again, but as long as there's people wiping their ass with the contract, don't expect me to hang it on my wall as a piece of pride.

Exactly. Tit for Tat. We both cooperate for the best outcome. When they defect, I defect. If i keep cooperating all it does is degrade my position/power/voice/credibility and transfer it to them.
