I hear people say things like “if Obama (or anyone left of Republicans) did what Trump did, there would be hell to pay.”
Why isn’t that argument taken more seriously by people on the left as an implicit admission that the left is politically weaker or less effective at wielding power?
If one side “can’t get away with” actions that the other can, doesn’t that suggest a real imbalance rather than moral superiority?
There’s more to ethical politics than just money. Might not seem like it from below.
there is no ethics in politics. there is only power.
the ethics is what the people in power say it is.
hence why the dems eat their own over a misunderstoodjoke, and the republicans promote child rapists.
You’re confused. Morals ≠ ethics.
There’s plenty of ethical basis in politics. You’re confused again. The US shit show ≠ Realpolitik.
Glad we clarified that for you.
