When I moved here one of the first adventures I had was removing an incredible amount of trash from the immediate area surrounding my house.

One of the more notable things I found was a pull-tab Budweiser Light can, from the 70's.

4 feet from the yard, barely in the treeline, for 50 years. Longer than I've been alive.

It's pretty obvious at this point that if you're pro-Trump you are a bad person. It's kinda disgusting how people can try to validate it. He's a lying abusive racist grifter rapist conman who preys on emotionally and intellectually frail people. It's not even hidden. You support that, it's not even Republican at this point. MAGA has split off and taken the majority of them with it. We got out third party.

Lots of people have turned their lives around and don't want to be judged by youthful transgressions. I'm one of them. It makes her seem more like a normal person trying to do some good than another rich person doing rich person stuff.

Re read the title. It seems like it's pointing out the hypocrisy of the mailer existing considering the other parties past as well. Certainly not saying nothing is to be considered.

I'd say if someone went from petty theft to running for office over two decades, it's worth considering that they have put a great amount of effort into making their own life much better. I'd consider that a bonus for someone who'd be charged with doing the same for the state.

People can change. I have a criminal record from 20 years ago, and I am not that same kid anymore. It also looks a great deal worse on paper than it ever was in real life, and those are convictions. These are charges. From 20 years ago? Doesn't that mean she was probably found not guilty or they were dropped?

Something like this humanizes her to a ton of people. It does to me.
