Speaking of Katha...just read this quote from a 1996 Nation column by Katha (in the International Socialist Review, of all places; the bracketed words of scene-setting are the ISO author's):

"[Had Reagan or Bush tried many of the policies that Clinton passed, liberal organizations would have mobilized millions to protest - as they did in the late 1980s, when a right-wing Supreme Court threatened to repeal Roe v. Wage. But with their friend in the White House, they stood by]

waiting and hoping and beseeching, working on the inside, faxing and phoning and producing yet another study or poll. Meanwhile, they preach[ed] the gospel of the lesser of two evils, that ever-downward spiral that has brought us to this pass and that will doubtless end with liberals in hell organizing votes for Satan because Beelzebub would be even worse - think of the Supreme Court!"
