I've lost a TON of respect for Barbara Boxer and not just for her supporting Hillary over Bernie.And you'll lose respect for Saint Bernard if he "betrays" you by endorsing the nominee (assuming he doesn't go with the "bern it down" faction of his constituency. What it comes down to is that no one's positions are to be respected if they deviate from your own. Barbara Boxer's account of her emotional state on thus-and-such an occasion is discounted by you, who was not there and who is not Barbara Boxer. This is solipsism of a high order.
By the way, the events of the past few days have acquainted me with a piece of youthful argot with which I was not previously familiar, although I'd heard of the practice: "doxxing."Rolling Stone interviewed a few of these charmers, including the guy who emitted the charming messages pictured below:
And then there's this one:
Did you intend your message as a threat?The tone of your own comments recently makes me think you might be feeling increasingly comfortable with this lot (it was particularly amusing that the one I quoted just now was indignant that her number had been "divulged" to a Rolling Stone reporter. These kids).
Like, from a legal perspective… I didn't make it a direct threat. There's an implication, and I'm implying, right? I'm inferring that I could do something, but I was doing that to show — it was kind of just a, Hey, let's set the mood here and see if anything will happen.
Even my younger brother, who I think as of now is still planning to vote for the Sage of Burlington over the Dread Butch Hillary next month, has expressed some reservations about the company he'd be keeping.
cordially,
