| What Clinton did was absolutely wrong, but that was a personal affair. In life and the law, intentions are foundational for evaluating people's actions. The scandalizing of Clinton's behavior was only about political slander, mud slinging. Your pearl clutching is performative and partisan. There's so much to not like about the Dems, and it's primarily in the fact that DNC leadership is corrupt and they are only interested in serving themselves and their patrons. But the party members as a whole do work on trying to do good governance. They often fail, but on the intentions front, it's not disagreable. Counter this to the modern day GOP -- they've been coopted by the evangelicals and white nationalists, and the only thing they want to govern is demanding that their theology is the law of the land. No thank you. I have respect for old-school conservatives who cared about limited government -- I totally agree with that concept but differ on how those limits are set. I have no party affiliation and loath partisan politics, but with the two-party system one has to choose the least worst. |
