How exactly did he help her with her political career? And, even if he did, so what?
He appointed her to two state boards. So what? I think exchanging political appointments for sex is not appropriate. Do you generally disagree, or only when it involves Democrats?
And, as noted above, this is just smug, sexist, patriarchal bullshit. Lots of young people are attracted to, and date, older people. So fucking what?
Usually younger people date much older people primarily for the benefits they provide. Gifts, lifestyle, K1 visa, or as in this case, political appointments (+ a BMW).
Except YOU HAVE NOT PROVEN THIS, YOU HAVE BASELESSLY ASSERTED IT. You even admit you can’t prove it!
It is not disputed that he put her on two state commissions.
And — I know that for people like you, the world must be binary and simplistic, but try to wrap your head around the idea that Kamela was both attracted to Willy AND thought he could help advance her career. What’s wrong with that? People help those close to them, whether in sexual relationships or not, all the time! It’s part of what’s called “the real world.”
You have just defined a quid pro quo. If she entered the relationship partly in anticipation of what he can do to launch her political career, that's still a quid pro quo.
I’m sure we’re all touched by your concern for how beneficiaries of “affirmative action” are automatically suspect.
As I said, that is why so-called "affirmative action" is doubly perverse. It harms capable members of groups aided by this preferential treatment due to inevitable suspicion. It's like nepotism. Because hiring family members even if they are incompetent is widespread, even capable nephews of the owner and such are subject to suspicion of nepotism when hired and have to prove otherwise.
Regardless, affirmative action is needed because without it we would revert to the bad old days of active discrimination not just against blacks, but against other minorities, like Jews, who in the bad old days were frequently barred from colleges.
I do not see how that follows, either logically or practically. So-called "affirmative action" is about giving preferential treatment to certain groups while disadvantaging others. Ending it would mean everybody is treated as an individual, as it should be.
Take medical admissions as an example. It has significant preferences for certain racial groups.

As you can see, the average black matriculant to a medical school has an MCAT of 505.7 and GPA of 3.59. The mean Asian matriculant has an MCAT of 514.3 and GPA of 3.83.
How is that defensible?
Oh, cry me a river. It was and is contemptible for white males to try to exclude from power everyone who is not white and male,
Two wrongs do not make a right. Present racial discrimination is not justified by past racial discrimination. People are individuals, and not interchangeable ciphers for racial categories.
a practice that has been going on since this country began and continues to this day.
It clearly doesn't. Biden refused consideration to any white men for either a SCOTUS seat or Veep. In fact, Democrats have not put a man on SCOTUS since 1994!
She DESERVES to be characterized as a street walker, eh? Nice.
Political cartoons are often vicious. I think there is a certain poetic justice in the cartoon given her advocacy for a law that makes the lives of sex workers less safe.
I haven’t read your link yet. Dollars to donuts it’s some pathetic and inaccurate screed from a right-wing loon.
You'd lose both dollars and donuts. But why read actual articles when you have plenty of prejudices, am I right?
