No.
Let's stop with this false equivalency.
One party has done everything in its power to gerrymander, discredit the electoral process, and put lobbyists in power. One party has consistently appealed to racism. One party has appealed to discrediting the value of effective government.
- tashoecraft 6y agoExactly, let's stop with there's bad people on both sides, that the "truth resides in the middle". While the democrats are very far from perfect and have tons of faults, the modern republican party is a disgrace.
- JKCalhoun 6y ago"You're not hurting the right people," resonated because it rang true to most people. The Road Rage Party ... has seemed an appropriate way to describe the GOP in recent years.
- nickff 6y agoI didn't say it applied equally, just that it did apply. If I am guilty of something, it's whataboutism, not false equivalency, though I'm on neither of those sides, so I think I am innocent of all charges.
- Izkata 6y agoWhat I've seen over the past couple years: > in its power to gerrymander Republicans (I doubt anyone will complain about this one) > discredit the electoral process Primarily Democrats (National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, concern over mail-in voting prior to 2015, renewed concern over the past month or so), with some Republican (concern over mail-in ballots over the past half-year or so) > put lobbyists in power Honestly not paying much attention here > One party has consistently appealed to racism Democrats (probably the most prominent recent thing being Biden's "you ain't black", but there's plenty more) > One party has appealed to discrediting the value of effective government Not sure about the "appealed to", but between impeachment with no evidence and The Squad, I have to give this one to Democrats as well.
