The reason someone does bad things, however tragic and compelling a story it may be, is less relevant than the fact that someone with a history of doing bad things shouldn't be given more power to do them

you're mouthing off in utter ignorance, totally rank obliviousness to fact - just pronouncing on his alleged but wholly imaginary propensities. Find out the facts (readily available btw) or go fuck yourself.

"Wholly imaginary"? So you're saying the revenge porn never happened? Nor the year he spent messaging a girl telling her she was fat and ugly and should kill herself?

You're trying to tell me that there are other "facts" that, by explaining the reason he did these things, 1) remove all moral culpability for his having done them, and 2) prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that his "propensity" for having done them is completely gone

#2 is the really important one, and you have no such proof - no such proof can exist The best substitute we could have for proof would be a track record of him having spent a long time without doing anything comparably harmful again Which we don't, because it was 5 years ago

"long time" as defined by Arthur Chu on the basis of nothing whatever

No, as defined by the people he harmed who are coming out today to tell people not to vote for their abuser

yes gauge his propensities on the basis of the duration of their resentment. Exactly why we execute people if their victims decree it. You're insane.

We execute people even when their victims’ families specifically advocate against it, so you’re pretty much maximally wrong here.

Chu is the one saying victims should decide his punishment, tell him not me

Not electing someone to office is not a "punishment"

“Certain sets of behavior should give someone an increased burden when proving their moral competency to be entrusted with power and prestige” should not be a controversial stance ffs
