It's a thread about a lie which his past behavior, the behavior you quoted and wanted to turn on someone not relevant to this thread, forewarned the current stunt would occur. You coming in to throw the random "she did it too" is part of the issue being dealt with right now. You yourself agree that there was no fraud, so trying to derail a conversation with a "other side did it too!" comment helps with furthering of these lies through obfuscation of the bigger point. Obviously, you aren't single handily changing anyones minds on this topic but my bigger gripe here is that this behavior only allows these kinds of things to perpetuate further when they occur at the larger scale we have seen in the media and by various politicians.
Oh, the answer to this is simple. I'd like to see consistency in the opinions of others, not just outrage when someone I don't like does "X". Did we ever hear anything about Clinton or Abrams "damaging our democracy" by claiming election fraud? What person of prominence has called those two out for the exact same types of statement about the integrity of our election process? You want your opinion or position to hold weight, keep it consistent. I'd counter your argument by pointing out that this level of hypocrisy only serves to deepen the divide in this country, which is something we'd both like to avoid, yes?
