Some of you have been avoiding any contact with our national electoral
process this year, and I can understand that:
I myself was pretty worn out with the election campaign by February or
April. Still, as a polyamorous person, I
find this particular election campaign much more interesting (albeit also more
depressing) than usual. Trump and
Clinton have given us much more to think about than your more “normal”
candidates.
I just watched the second presidential debate. Trump tries to back away from his “Grab-the-Whatever”
remarks of 2006. He brings up Bill Clinton’s
affairs and related legal issues.
Someone online says she always assumed that Bill and Hillary were
swingers. I never did. I just suspected they had an open
marriage. I have listened to decades of
people mentioning his “infidelities.”
Another person online insists it is not our business what goes on in the
Clinton bedroom—a debatable point.
In any case, there is more awareness now that not all people are
monogamous—and some awareness that there can be such a thing as “responsible
non-monogamy.” The awareness is not
great, and many people would denounce the entire idea; but we are making
progress.
Meanwhile, back at You-Know-Who.
I mentioned my own ambiguity about the Trump tape. I fear the return of genuine censorship. But for some people, it isn’t the words he
used, it’s the way he talked about women.
Unpermitted touching is never allowed.
