A lot of good people marry bad people. That's just life.

@ytSTOPCENSORING "even though my wife is native Americans I love her anyway." Even though she's Native American? See, that's what you're saying, and what JP Mandel said. Get it now?

They love to act like it's so deep, so complicated. It fits with how they see themselves as "doing research." They're interpreting very intellectual prose, and the rest of us can't fathom the meaning of it. hehe

But this time will be different! hehe

@Roguefem76 Seriously! What could she say? "My husband is fine with single people. But he hates cats"? There's really no good way out of that one.

Who isn't? Welcome to the human race.

"I have no pity for her" Being without pity is not a good thing. She isn't impacted by how you feel at all. But you are. Being without empathy for one person makes it easier to feel nothing for others. Or you could pity her, as Pakman is doing. This offers neither her nor Vance any direct support. And will only do you good.

You don't know that. Therefore, don't "make her to be someone that she's not."

@conniewojahn6445 "My mother used to say, "A person doesn't really know another person until he/she marries him/her." That may apply here." I think it does. Your mother sounds very wise. :)

@James-cu9ul Obtuse whataboutism is obtuse.

@deletethis6902 How about: "The only thing I know is that I know nothing." A lot of people tend to never, ever take that to heart.

@JohnMiddletonBunny Snap! Ouch. :)

Lost all credibility to you and blue maga. Those of us who are intelligent, empathic, and sympathetic (including Pakman) recognize: First, that we don't know the whole situation; secondly, what else is she supposed to do or say, other than divorce her husband over politics? Like you have any credibility, yourself.

@bwilli301 That doesn't prove anything, except your own confirmation bias. Also, does it occur to you that your derision doesn't affect her at all? You're only harming yourself. You do get to troll here, though. So there's that.
2
@pizzeo Making a villain out of her is really obtuse. Yes, we all make choices. But those choices are complicated, not black and white. Humility and decency don't cost you anything. They're free.
2
@bk1507 That's not how life works. We don't get to choose much at all, ever. We're swarmed by people and circumstances that are out of our control. We do the best we can with what we have.

@Nosugarcoatingme Ah, I see. That's a great point. If he can do that to the Presidential nominee, he's guaranteed to do far, far worse to other women.

I've never heard of a "liberal lawyer" or a "woke law firm." Sounds like oxymorons to me.

"Look at the context" is often used by people to deflect, dismiss, and devalue any criticism. They want the conversation to shift from the thing they don't want to talk about, to the circular arguments of interpreting everything but what they want to dismiss. Complicated writing and intellectual speeches have context: JP Mandel is neither of those things. He wants people without children to have less voting power (whatever that means) than parents with kids.

@marialeblanc6567 Does she? I don't know that. So I doubt you do either. She was a lawyer. They weren't exactly destitute before.
1
@ytSTOPCENSORING Yeah? What tribe? How does she feel about you being a magat?
1
@ytSTOPCENSORING "even though my wife is native Americans I love her anyway." How can you be married to a Native American, while using this obviously racist, infantile, obtuse argument? More like you invented this excuse to deflect everything everyone has said to you.
1
@tselengbotlhole750 Did she? Or did she marry someone totally different, with a completely different bed, then came home to find this new bed. I agree with @MOMO41837.
1
I prefer to sympathize, since my lack of sympathy would only hurt me. She isn't impacted at all by your lack of understanding.
1
@RockChick63174 Wow. Substantial argument. You talked me into it! But seriously, there's no humility and compassion in you, huh? You just know without learning? That won't end well. Sounds like you're halfway to maga already.

@stephenspackman5573 "He sent his wife out to cover for him, and now you're angry at her?" Finally someone who can think. Thank you!

@Bonnie-GULFofMEXICO "Who is "other people'?" Who do you think they are here? Trumparrots, of course. It's in the context of the statement, and the video to which they're replying.
1
@Celisar1 Right? People like the OP think life is never complicated, when it's nothing but complicated.
1
@bwilli301 Your logic is flimsy. You're only confirming your own bias. Otherwise you'd admit you don't know; that there isn't enough evidence to conclude anything. Besides, I find this going against her, who isn't even the actual VP of "the enemy," to be extremely maga-like: blue maga, if you will. Your ill will doesn't hurt her. She doesn't know you exist. It only hurts you, cheapens you, lowers you.
1
@RockChick63174 Already made up your mind, huh? Judged her, labeled her, simplified her whole life. Ah well, you do you. But as someone who has studied the physics of the very small through the very large, word of advice: NOTHING IS SIMPLE. And if you think it is, you're wrong. Have some humility and compassion: It's free.

@michaelbrandt567 I did not ignore that fact. Looks like you assumed I did, for some reason. Wonder why? ALWAYS ASK FOR CLARIFICATION BEFORE ASSUMING. Now, did you actually have something to reply about what I wrote?

@RogerPalacios-n4t You are very articulate, thoughtful, with a good understanding of how to write: especially for someone who "barely finished high school." I have almost no formal understanding in psychology. I was a physics major, musician, writer, actor. I'm fascinated by how things work: whether those things are protons or people. I've been a people watcher for 50 years. I'm a quiet person, and love to listen to others speak. Writers and actors have to do that, to write dialogue, and to perform it, respectively. So I've learned a lot of psychology, using the scientific method from physics, over the course of these decades.

@Nosugarcoatingme Why ask me that?
1
@rainydays6675 We don't. So don't jump to conclusions. Either way. Edit: Oh, I see your point, from what I wrote 5 days ago. I didn't say she was good or bad. Look at it again.
1
@rainydays6675 I pointed out ALREADY that it was just an aphorism. But you want to dig it up a week later, and try to make something of it that isn't there. Go read a book.
