If she had challenged it, she probably wouldn't have won the challenge, AND she would have fueled a whole smattering of "SEE, BOTH SIDES ARE THE SAME" bs

Well if people were going to say stuff, it's awesome that she didn't do anything! Close call. \s

This is the same flawed logic as the folks saying that violent resistance will give the other side a "justification", they're gonna make one up anyway so there's absolutely no point in abstaining from any given course of action for the sake of not giving them one. Even if it hadn't worked it would have demonstrated some commitment to actually stopping Trump, but corporate dems don't actually give a shit what happens as long as they're still getting paid.

Fuck that, the situation wasn't the same and EVERYONE knows it. The solution isn't to avoid the whole thing so the accusation isn't made, the solution is to do the right thing, and when the accusation is made, you slap them down HARD!
