Clearly true. It’s blatantly apparent in the Legislative branch too. When a Republican is accused or charged with a crime (Gym Jordan, Matt Gaetz, George Santos) They just keep chugging along clinging to their power. When a Democrat is accused or charged with a crime, everyone gets together and calls for them to step down. Look at Al Franklen, for example, and now Bob Menendez.
At this point, I’m hoping Menendez doesn’t step down. I’m tired of Democrats taking the high road and policing itself. We’re losing the nation because of it.
I think we need to go after Menendez, if only to confirm that yes, there actually is a contrast between the parties. It’s something that will help in the long run.
But if the Democrats start being exactly as scummy as the Republicans, we are well and truly completely fucked, because that means the most viable solution becomes “we gotta channel France and make the Second American Republic, because the first one is pretty much done”.

If someone hasn’t realized it by now, this won’t change their mind.
Regardless, this does have an effect on policy so fuck this guy, get him out of office and preferably into prison.
No, it won’t.
