[@BBenice1]

Ummm. One of these men is respectable and as credible as his accuser. One of these men had one accuser an indisputable history of upstanding behavior. One of these men is a gentleman and in the wrong party. The other one fits right in with his party because he is just as belligerent and entitled as the others.

[@amanikhulula1121]

The main difference is Brett was treated much more vicious by the Demonrats.

[@jac1207]

except race politics is way more toxic today and the difference is Thomas is black and Kavanugh is white. I swear and bet, if Kavanugh were a person of color, the media and the democrats would have a very hard time spinning this whole thing in today's identity politics. You might brush off my comment as stupid or exaggeration, but today's culture and politics seriously does put a lot of eggs in the race basket and the goddamn game of victimhood olympics everyone is playing.

[@conformconsumeobey2985]

Ja C I don’t disagree, since 1992, racial tensions have reached nearly 1860 level institution, all thanks to the US government. The republicans and democrats have never flipped, ever, they just put on a different suit and tie. Democrats want us enslaved as a whole, race wars, while the republicans want to leave us in a nuclear wasteland filled with cfcs and corporate monoliths. Fuck republicans and fuck democrats. Politics do a country no good, especially when the will of the people is not there.

And really what its about now (with Kavanaugh and Biden) is what it was about back in 1991, abortion.
