In reply to the discussion: Eddie Glaude lumped in Bill Clinton with [View all]The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)The mark of sound judgement is to penetrate to the essential elements of a situation. In 2016, the essential element of the situation was that installation of this cheap deranged thug in office was to be prevented at all costs. No one who failed to see that, and to act on it, is worth paying the slightest attention to in any matter of political consequence. This fellow not only failed this test, he went to some effort to persuade others to share his destructive foolishness. He made what positive contribution he could to the cause of putting the cheap thug in office, because that is what not lending wholehearted support to Mrs. Clinton amounted to. I see no reason to rate people who did this from the left any higher than the lowest red-hatted maggot with the stars and bars on his tee-shirt, and can make a case for it that is a damned sight better than any that can be made for the proposition that Mrs. Clinton was no better than Trump, and it hardly mattered which became President.
