- ergothus 7y ago"Both have done it" is not the same as "both have done it equally". Nor does it mean "we should therefore be okay with it". If we support the idea of Democracy, we should stop abuses that harm democracy, even if it prevents abuses those we otherwise agree with have taken advantage of.
