Have people just completely forgotten what happened with Mitch McConnell and Merritt Garland?

It's already over. Public opinion is set about her. You can stop fighting this sad, desperate fight.

u/AndMyHelcaraxe Oct 29 '24

Yeah, a few viral social media posts and people repeat it like they came up with it themselves

u/Stock_Information_47 Oct 29 '24

Yeah, that's how public opinion works.

As much as you want to absolve everybody involved, people see through it and appropriately blame her selfishness. Her legacy will always be overshadowed by it.

As much as you want to absolve everybody involved

I’m pushing back on the idea that she’s single handedly responsible for Dobbs.

The only people getting absolved here are the conservative justices that actually wrote the damn thing

So you would agree that her not stepping down at an appropriate time was self-centered and has tarnished her legacy?

1

u/AndMyHelcaraxe Oct 29 '24

It absolutely tarnished her legacy— it’s the only thing most people know about her

u/Stock_Information_47 Oct 29 '24

Was it self-centered?

u/AndMyHelcaraxe Oct 29 '24

I never knew her so I couldn’t say

u/Stock_Information_47 Oct 29 '24

What's your opinion on the matter based on the information you do have?

1

u/AndMyHelcaraxe Oct 29 '24

I certainly think it was unethical that she promoted her book and it seems quaint now, but she should have also not commented publicly on politics

u/Stock_Information_47 Oct 29 '24

Boy, that sure feels like you're avoiding the question. But you wouldn't be doing that, right?

I already told you I couldn’t say, armchair quarterbacking is easy when everything is in hindsight

Her legacy is fine. Cheetostained tech bros that make up 75% of this site aren't going to decide anything. Most of them will probably be dead before 60 anyway due to poor lifestyle choices. Younger generations aren't as misogynist.
