What political policies will you run with to ensure as few people as possible vote for you whilst also making yourself seem like a sincere candidate?
To complicate things a bit more, imagine your main opponent is someone already in bad favour with the public
I Say this as someone who has been a victim of rape in the past
I've Several times seen people say that rape is a worse crime than murder and it's always rubbed me the wrong way. It's because by saying that, you are essentially telling victims that their life isn't worth while any more and they'd be better off dear
Their explanation is usually, 'if you rape someone that person haa to live with the trauma everyday afterwards,'. I Mean, yeah, but do you really think living with that trauma is worse than \*not living at all???\*
Obviously I can't speak for all victims, so maybe for some of them it is, but I don't think that's true in the majority of cases. It's definitely not for me and I've seen other victims who've gone on to live happy fulfilling lives afterwards
So yeah, whenever I hear or read someone say this, my internal reaction is pretty much, 'F@ck you'
