I’m not making the point that this person is as virtuous as any of the three that I named. I’m making the point that Law and Morality are not the same thing. Either you don’t understand that or you do understand it and facing your crummy point earlier is making you upset.
Either way, find someone else to talk to because we’re done here.
What Tina Peters did is clearly immoral. She tampered with voting equipment and spread lies about election fraud, which directly undermines trust in democracy. I don’t care if she thought she was doing the right thing. Breaking laws meant to protect elections is not just wrong, it’s dangerous.
I agree with this comment, but it wasn’t the basis of your earlier comment. You’re accidentally or intentionally moving the goal posts because you want to fight and you want to be right at any cost.
