...Swooners, foamers, and sane people.

Congratulations, you've discovered that BC has his dark side and was never as progressive as the swooner camp liked to think...

...however, the backlash of your discovery has apparently propelled you over to the foamers. Well, get off it. Part of the reason his record was so bad (from a strict progressive viewpoint) was because swooners like your household just trusted and supported him and never put pressure on him, unlike the conservatives, who just made up shit if it would advance their cause.

Clinton was (and in many ways still is) a politician, and on those terms a damn good one. We've learned there's much worse.
