No, this is not shallow thinking. There are times in life when decency trumps politics. You don’t want to compound the hurt by having her suffer an electoral loss as well. “Part of this nation’s problems” are people who cannot rise above politics and do what is decent. If she were running for President then it’s different.
Maybe in some rare circumstance where the call is close, but I don’t define ‘decency’ as pity for a left wing radical which would allow her to further an agenda of destroying the country we knew and loved.
That’s ridiculous. Duty trumps most all things. It was indecent for her to hold office, or to run for office when she was unable to serve.
And it is likely her health and recovery took a hit just for the stress of running and the public and political appearances and travels she made, on account of her NOT retiring into the full quietude needed to recover.
WHO was indecent and wrong to her? Those driven by both emotional and political reflex. The latter worst in the persons that exploited her. But if folks have fallen to immature selfish emotionally driven reactions like the one you seem to have, then the politicians did what they always do. Play to the whims of the mob.
The fix is to stop being a mob. Start being responsible adults. If male, be a Man. If female try to be a Woman of Valor.
Then the wounded and sick have a better chance everywhere.

Really? It is cruel for a person to be removed from office? It would be too much torment for a democrat politician to stand to leave office?
She seems to have managed now that she gets a pension...
