Something that has really come to annoy me about the political frenzy…

When people claim "both sides do it".
Former Senator Al Franken, (Minnesota-D) after helping with passages of all kinds of legislation that benefitted women, still agreed to step down when accused of sexual misconduct from incidents in his past. The GOP piled on, of course, but the Democrats didn’t attempt to shield or protect him and also encouraged him to resign.

Consider how often the "party of family values" has shielded their politicians accused of outright sexual assault and even sex trafficking. It’s not even comparable. 19 accusers and his own bragging about being a predator hasn’t lessened the fervor of Donald Trump’s supporters—not even the female ones. Guess they’re okay with being “grabbed by the p*ssy". 😞

I am not familiar with this situation but my opinion is that Democrats operate differently than Republics a little bit on the face of things.

Both parties are dirty and lie so that's what people mean when they say that both parties do it but..
Republics know how to be bullies and stay the course, never back down, never admit a lie, change what you state you believe in when it suits you and close ranks when necessary to hold power.
Democrats want to appear opposite of Republicans so they do all of that same stuff but if it goes too public they try to save face.

@REMsleep January 6, 2021 and the GOP’s reaction to it was a pretty extreme example of "closing ranks to hold power".

@bijouxbroussard One of the most extreme examples I ever saw.
