all of a sudden lying doesn't matter?
Ok, I guess.
It doesn't matter when Democrats lie according to Democrats.
Not gonna say no Dems have never lied, nor gonna ask you to back up your claim so as to let you peddle.
I will merely assert that Republicans have been spewing massive repeated and expanding whoppers for a long time now, beginning with Obama wasn't born in Hawaii.
You have extremely little standing to be making such a statement.
Sit down and shut up.
Clean up your party.
Edit: ...beginning with "Iraq has WMD".
Yellow cake, Niger.
Brooks brothers protest in Florida stole the 2000 election. See movie Recount, please.
Gosh, no wonder I departed the party of my origin.
This is not aimed at you concordtom, you are a brother. It is a general rant against all the false equivalency bs we get from the Conservatives.
"The both siderist
The both siderist is very reasonable. So reasonable, in fact, that people who care about politics actually look very unreasonable by comparison: Did you hear about the bad thing Republicans did? Well, Democrats did a bad thing too once, and it's all quite unfortunate that everyone can't be as reasonable as me.
Has the both siderist ever taken any actions to try to improve the political system? Well, it's funny that you ask; no, they haven't. What they have done is ask everyone, very nicely, to be civil and take it easy and not get too political with all that politics.
But in insisting on being the most reasonable person in the room, the both siderist has failed to read the room. Their postured reasonableness obscures the political realities we're dealing with: rampant Republican gerrymandering, voter suppression, human rights abuses, and anti-democratic power grabs from people like McConnell and Trump.
Nearly all the Republican moderates have been voted out of office. Redefining "moderate" doesn't make them more moderate, it just drags the debate to the right. Chart: The Washington Post
The both siderist has a lot of political opinions, but their most important opinion is that both sides are bad even if one side is doing objectively terrible **** to millions of people. It's because the both siderist desperately wants to be off the hook for having to actually do anything to improve our political system. (The both siderist, coincidentally, also has a book to sell and needs to get on as many media outlets as possible to sell it. But they can't afford to alienate anyone by being gasp partisan.)
As the Republican Party has gone off the rails in the Obama era, this has led to a deeper and deeper stretch of both siderism logic. For instance, Amy Chua, writing in The Atlantic about the decline of democracy, equates Trump threatening to revoke people's citizenship and strip them of their voting rights with college students asking a university to stop venerating a slave-owning Founding Father. But one of these fundamentally alters the realities of American political life for decades; the other is a campus debate over a statue.
The committed both siderist must never admit that one party or one side in a debate is worse than the other. If they did, they might have to do something about it."
