D, R, D, D, in case you were wondering.
Could be all R, could be all D. One thing for certain, they’re all scumbags, S.
Oh so now I can say "both sides?" I thought that was anathema around here.
I'm tired of us not criticizing the democrats for doing the same shit as the republicans because the republicans are worse. "Both sides" never meant both sides are equal, it means both sides are above the "shitty" threshold, even if varying degrees, and many of the problems are bipartisan, shit needs to change all around.
I haven't met anyone not looking for accountability for D's on the left. I only hear "Good, if theyre guilty lock them up too".
"Both sides" is shorthand for "both sides are the same" at least to me. It's the false equivalency that is the problem -- which you're not doing to be clear.
