To be fair, me as a south European kid I had an hard time to understand where the issue was there 😅
Sure power imbalance but more something to frown upon rather than the huge deal it became.
I think it is better that that kind of “scandals” are not happening any more
As a kid back then, I was "scandalized," in the sense that to me politicians represented, or are supposed to represent, a model of societal excellence. I was laughing while I typed that. But I was a kid. What the fuck did I know?
Today, I'd say "as long as they're doing their jobs and they're not harming anyone, who the fuck cares what they do with their private life?" Of course, the whole power imbalance is problematic. So I guess these matters can be treated on a case-by-case basis.
I'd rather have blowjob scandals than the nazi rhetoric normalizing we have today.
Power imbalance is problematic, and we shouldn't give Bill a pass for it. Not even mere lampshading.
That said, Republicans clearly aren't interested in power imbalances. Addressing that consistently would collapse their entire ideology. This is something where only the left has criticism that can be consistent with their principles.
