You Americans really need to make a list of non-rapist politicians for the election after this one.

You should be able to find at least 2 non-abusers in the whole country to run for president. This is basic stuff.

I am willing to be elected king of America. I figure that's not a bad looking option considering the alternatives.

Seriously though, why don't we have any good options? This election is do you want the dude who's creepy towards women or the dude who's creepy towards girls.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

There's an element of abusers seeking out positions of power to protect themselves as well though.

Also people with psychopathic traits being less risk adverse so they will push themselves forward in situations where others would think twice. But psychos are less than 1% of the population and less than 5% of people in powerful positions so still the minority.
