Lemmy is an echo chamber but I'll say if for those rare republicans in the back:

If a prominent democrat has skeletons like this in their closet, they deserve the same scrutiny / disrepute as any republican.

Party means nothing

"bOtH sIDEs aRe BaD!"

Seriously one side is objectively worse.

Not what I said at all. Try again.

This is about the common republican whataboutism, and clarifying that no political party is above scrutiny.

I read his comment as also being addressed to the Republicans in the back: a concurrence, not a rebuttal.

So many people online take replies as contradictions when they're meant to be support. It's frustrating.

Let's not get this twisted, there are likely zero Republicans on lemmy, and if there are, they can only be counted on one hand.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Heh there are conservative comms, they are bizarre.

Your opinion was already addressed by "lemmy is an echo chamber".

One side isnt objectively worse

They are only worse for the majority of humans and other species that live on Earth

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How is that not objectively worse?

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That's the joke TM

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its not objectively worse to black holes

I'm pretty sure bubonic plague isn't noticing, either.

People downvoting you clearly aren't reading past the first line....

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that's why the democrats called for the immediate resignation of weiner, Adams, menenedez, and cuomo. Republicans circle wagons every time one of their own is credibly accused. Even bringing it up in the same context is disingenuous.

All you young whippersnappers should read up on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Hart

Sing that song to Alan Franken. Then sing it again to Anthony Weiner.
