Big “of COURSE two wrongs make a right” energy in this article and comment section 🤦
Bringing a gun to a gun fight isn’t wrong.
Nobody’s shooting them for allowing debate. It’s not a binary where they have to either allow Republicans to obstruct endlessly or eliminate debate completely.
They all had two prior opportunities to debate, though!
Were these two opportunities for other nominees? You know that different people aren’t interchangeable, right? 🤦
That is an impressive selective reading of the article. One could be left to wonder how, in good faith, you could have possibly missed all of this:
Why should Dems follow all the rules when repubs don’t? If anyone cares about the rule, they should have punished the previous committee leaders even though they have an R by their name.
Because rules are how society works. If both parties agree to throw out the rules… we don’t have a democracy anymore.
So it’s turn the other cheek bullshit? They’ve had my left, right, and both ass cheeks. There are no cheeks left to turn.
Love when people have that argument. I always politely remind them that we didn’t just turn all of our cheeks to Hitler and hope he stopped. At a certain point you gotta go all in.
Rules of procedure are hardly the bedrock of democracy
If one party ignores the rules, while the other party follows them, the party with no regard for the rules will take all the power, and we definitely won’t have a democracy anymore.
The same reason Dems should do a SHITLOAD of things differently than the Republicans: because they’re better and more honest or at least pretending to be.
Well…a wrong is a negative thing. Two wrongs would be a double negative. A double negative is a positive and a positive thing is a right. Therefore two wrongs do in fact make a right. (Please note: I don’t believe this and an just using words recreationally)
Its not the multiplicative of wrongs its just the summation. If you rob a bank and also commit wire fraud that person isn’t responsible for a wire fraud worth of bank robberies. In fact, that statement is nonsense. Two wrongs add up having done more wrong.
Careful about using words recreationally, that shit can be habit-forming!
