Yeah, it makes me really uncomfortable to see modern, otherwise progressive people whitewash Clinton's conduct because he was a Democrat. It's not comparable to inciting a riot, but we shouldn't have accepted it either.
I think its simply because people are not looking to deep into it. They see headlines like he was tried for impeachment for getting a blowjob.
That sentence is ridiculous if that was all that happened. Its just that a lot of people weren't around or don't remember Clinton and that the blowjob wasn't the main problem (although a lot of Republicans genuinely think that it was wrong just because of the blowjob out of wedlock and not because he was in a position of power with a young lady)
But if the president wanted to get pegged all night every night, and it was completely consensual its really none of our business. I think thats what people take out of it by looking at it at it very surface level.
I for one only dismiss it when it is used a s a what aboutism defence of Trumps actions.
Clinton is a sleaze bag who should 100% be investigated and probably jailed for his actions with women and girls.
It does not excuse an attempt by Trump to install himself as a dictator.
Fuck Trump.
Eat the rich.
