I hope you get banned again soon.
I think I defended her as a qualified choice of the President's prerogative...I always found her "Catholic Association" to be a cause for concern, but that's on the Senate during confirmation.@Filthy i member you defending ACB as a good nom even doe she didn’t know the first amendment. still feel that way?
A lot of the opposition seems to be the pain of putting the shoe on the other foot. I abide the ebbs and flows of the SCOTUS, I think it's way too early to judge ACB based on RvW, same as Sotomayer based on her OSHA/vaccine mandate position.
I think Brown is a good choice, although she doesn't have a lot of experience, she seems like a bridge builder. And that's what the progressive wing of the SCOTUS needs.
double-banned.

i’m so edgy now bruv
It's a whataboutism
No. The concept was developed so people could feel good about judging others and wouldn't have to address their own shortcomings. It's not that it's "impure" it's that it's disingenuous.
In America it was commonly used to explain why Russia was bad but Jim Crow laws were totally cool.
"According to lexicographer Ben Zimmer,[12] the term originated in the United Kingdom and Ireland in the 1970s. Zimmer cites a 1974 letter by history teacher Sean O'Conaill which was published in The Irish Times where he complained about "the Whatabouts," people who defended the IRA by pointing out supposed wrongdoings of their enemy"

2) Applying the same thing to 2 different countries doesn't change anything I said. It's still disingenuous marketing material. 3) Notice that you're still not attempting to defend a position? Yeah. Yeah, you do.
What's The Problem With Whataboutism?

I don't even know what kind of argument you are trying to make now.
I shouldn't use the term Whataboutism? News Flash, I didn't until you asked for it.
Or that I should answer to every other argument anyone else brings up instead of the original one? That makes no sense either.
What about [trigger] whatabout.gif triggers you so much? Lmao.Yes.
I'm sorry to inform you that I won't be taking that advice, although it is appreciated.
Every time I see the gang name "Proud Boys" I laugh my ass off. They sound like a failed 90s boy band.
Who would win in a battle royal?
Proud Boys, NSYNC, New Kids or Backstreet Boys?
