Stuff like this is what proves that these center-left/centrist types don't actually care about these issues as much as they claim to. If you frame the same issue using a morally obvious political topic (like slavery or civil rights), the analogy to their words/actions is super obviously that of someone who doesn't actually care about the topic in question. If someone constantly made the same sort of contrarian arguments against abolitionists, it would be obvious that they either don't care about slavery, or are against ending it.

You see this the most when it comes to topics like wealth inequality/poverty; if you create an analogy using their same argument with respect to something like racism, it sounds exactly the same as the stuff racists say (or at least someone who doesn't care about racism). When they talk about racist white socialist bros, it's entirely projection; they're imagining that the left views social justice in the same way they view issues like material inequality/poverty.

The same as Watergate would require the dems to manage to win both houses first, so hopefully.

Also the dems won both houses hard in 86 and 06, both times with incredibly impeachable presidents (Iran Contra and Iraq, respectively) and impeachment noises died almost instantly in both cases. I wouldn't hold my breath.

This came up in the Political Cartoons thread and the first posted reaction to it was "The Simpsons wouldn't stop busting Clinton's rear end, but I never saw them saying word one about Bush :mad:"

to which the only possible response is "because you weren't watching The Simpsons after 2000, because it had already been horrible for years by then"
