an idea that I've held very strongly for a long time is that despite how bullshit the hearing was, which I don't want to relitigate, Bill Clinton really did commit serious misconduct in the Lewinsky affair and afterward, and if he'd been removed & replaced by Gore we'd be living in a better timeline

The highest position in the land should have the highest standards.
Instead..... here we are.
Clinton and Harris lost because they were women. Many men in America will never accept a woman in the highest office. America has a long way to go. How do we fix this mess now? Start holding people accountable- every time!
I loved Clinton. He did some really good things. But because he couldn’t keep it in his pants- this is his legacy. And he knows this.

The only way we’d have avoided this was if we’d been able to stall until he succumbed to one of his ailments
Republicans made it their mission to destroy a democratic president as revenge, and abused the investigative process pretty badly, and I don’t like the idea of rewarding them for it.
The gop engaged in a purely political hit job that half worked which gave the gop cover to ignore later impeachments because "political", obviously.
They are a feedback Ouroborus.
Government bad >> govern badly >> GOVERNMENT BAD...
AOC's Time is coming. She has already begun.
Simply by removing the truth in broadcasting he opened the door to Fox which was the beginning of the end.
In 1986 Fox was born an alternative to the 3 big networks.
In June 1987 Fairness in Broadcasting Act of 1987 S. 742 passed but was vetoed by President Ronald Reagan.
This would have promoted truth in "news".
Instead it it was the start of Fox lies
Johnson is not *much* better, but I think just in terms of legal culpability, Vance is a member of a criminal conspiracy with Trump and Johnson is not.
but also, like, honestly I just think giving the GOP a big win earlier in the timeline makes things better no matter what
Reining in the imperial presidency before it gets going
