    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.

          Buddy, if it sounds like a duck and waddles for bread, I’m calling it a duck.

            Well, it didn’t sound like a duck. You just have problems comprehending what you read.

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

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

      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.

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