The argument is that not giving the modern-day Democratic Party the power to do anything about these sort of things would lead to them shouting about how terrible it is that the people with the power to do anything about these sort of things aren't doing anything about these sort of things instead of them not doing anything about these sort of things themselves.
Um.
Let me try that again.
A shepherd loses his beloved sheepdog, and asks all the animals of the forest for a replacement. After much debating, two candidates are put forth: a fox and a wolf.
"Why do you want to be a sheepdog?" asks the shepherd.
"To eat all of the sheep," replies the wolf.
"That's terrible!" cries the shepherd.
"Why? Don't you want to eat all of the sheep too?" asks the wolf, "You can have the scraps when I'm done eating."
The shepherd, outraged, turns to the fox.
"Why do YOU want to be a sheepdog?" he asks the fox.
"To protect the sheep," answers the fox.
"The fox lies!" cries the wolf, "He only wants to eat all of the sheep, like me!"
"Maybe, maybe not," the fox says with a grin, "But the wolf will DEFINITELY eat all of your sheep."
"At least I'm honest about it," growls the wolf, "Do you think the fox will leave you any scraps?"
The story always ends a little bit differently.
Sometimes the shepherd chooses the wolf, and sometimes he gets scraps.
Sometimes the shepherd chooses the fox, and sometims he gets scraps.
Sometimes a crafty shepherd finds a way to trick the fox or the wolf into leaving a few of the sheep. Sometimes a VERY crafty shepherd tricks them into leaving most of the sheep.
And sometimes, just sometimes, the sheep gather together and kill the fox, the wolf, and sometimes the shepherd too. And that story has a whole mess of other endings.
Okay I'm pretty sure I've condensed the situation down into a short and to-the-point message which colors everything in perfect black and white now.
