Given the underlined qualifier, your statement could be accurate.

One would just have to add that the Dem viewpoint, whatever that is, does not seem to require trashing rule of law on the scale of Watergate, Iran-Contra, the Iraq War or the Green Bay Sweep. 

Whatever Maxine Waters or Nancy Pelosi said that one time hardly balances the scale.

Finally, regarding the bolded, the central political issue in the U.S. right now is that one party is heading towards ever more explicit and direct authoritarianism, but "the rest of the people" (or at least not enough to keep control of Congress away from them in 2022) don't seem very interested in naming the problem and opposing it. That might happen though, AFTER the authoritarians take power and start bringing anti-gay, anti-Sharia and anti-CRT legislation to the national level.

Meantime "both sides" do it so "I'm voting 3rd party"--i.e., leaving them the field?

I could have written this for you. I honestly don’t recall you ever having a problem or thinking there is a problem with anything Democrat. I never said it was equal right now, but the left has admired Mao, Fidel, Che, Hugo, Vlad and I’m sure I’m missing some. COVID was an orgasm of control for the left. They loved every second of it. Saving lives was secondary.
