That is what saddens me the most from this election. The fact that someone running for a high profile position can get away with such abhorrent remarks as Trump's made.
Maybe the real issue is the 2 party system. Both candidates have signifiant flaws, so the electorate is selecting on the attributes they dislike less.
- ryandrake 10y ago"Abhorrent" is relative, and colored by the cultural bubbles in which we live. I know people who genuinely and enthusiastically agree with Trump's various statements about immigrants and minorities and think what he said in that "microphone was on" recording was hilarious instead of sexist. They don't think he "got away with" anything.
