One time the 2016 state representative candidate that I managed the campaign of (she went on to win) abusively told me: “I don’t care if you have to lick their (the married couple who managed Visclosky staff’s) toes, get us into that office (she refused to pay $100 for keys to).
I talk more about her here in this peer reviewed (open access) academic article I published a few years back called “Requirement Politics”: https://journals.library.ualberta.ca/ari/index.php/ari/article/view/29637/22092
View of Requirement Politics

In that article, I also disclosed the fact I was both sexually harassed by a Munster, IN democrat precinct member told my boss and she told me to brush it off AND then a year later I was solicited for sex by one of my prior union volunteers. I’ve shared the screenshots for years and few people cared.

Sorry Dr bird. So many shitty things happen in our lives... :(
In the mid 1970s, my boss tried to molest me on a so called fishing trip. The guy was a OLY Wa state Dept head too. I was a summer flunky. Before that, I had 3 yrs in a Catholic boarding school. :(
Yes, people have their motives & I wonder why I have little faith in gov & religion.
@OhMrBill I’m really sorry this happened to you. You deserve/d so much better too.
