Your mom can't wait, either
Hahaha:
"Yoo is moderating tonight, yet he is not non-partisan or neutral," said Giovanni Jackson, youth student organizer of World Can't Wait. A panel discussion moderated by a non-neutral partisan? On a college campus? Unthinkable!
Seeing as how "panel discussions" typically include a bunch of folks who all agree, I find the complaint voiced by Jackson a little bit hollow. Essentially, he's inventing standards just so he can say that Yoo fails them, even though he doesn't actually give a crap about those standards. Have you seen a World Can't Wait panel discussion?
"He is a war criminal responsible for undermining international law and supporting torture." Go arrest and punish him, then. Or does your dedication to your cause stop at the point where you have to resort to real action with real consequences? Do you expect us to accept that you actually believe what you say when you refuse to take the only moral actions that follow?
