    Why do people care?

    How did we come to the culture where personal life of politicians outside their direct political convictions matters?

    Not only is it a manipulation that has no relation to somebody’s political performance, it also makes opposition dependent on criticizing a person - something that recently fucked up Republicans themselves as Biden stepped down.

        I was going to ask the same question. Why should we care. But you have a good point. If the right is saying "we must look into the bedroom " then the left might as well join in. It won’t fix anything. But at this point, make the idiots squirm.

        You think he will drop out? I’m not sure what’s going to happen - our political situation is beyond sane prediction - but I feel like dropping out would be admitting a mistake, and I just don’t see either Trump or Vance wanting to do that. I feel like they will ride that decision right into November.

        You hit the nail on the head. It’s their blatant hypocrisy and stupidity, and it’s time to make it hurt to be stupid.
