I share your frustration and anger, but it's the voters that have a double-standard.
As a Democrat, I am a member of the only voting bloc in America that is expected and required to hold their elected representatives accountable.
I am proud to be a Democrat because of this very point, but it also makes me so effing pissed I can’t see straight. I feel like I am fighting this Retrumplican fascism with one hand tied behind my back.
If any Democratic President had behaved in the way Donnie Dipshit has, the very first people that would run them out of town on a rail would be the Democratic voters that put them in office.
I predicted that the fallout from the Epstein files will be:
"EVERY person on the "left", no matter how innocuous their affiliation, will be forced to resign their position. It won't matter if it's a political, business, or academic position, just the "appearance of impropeiety" will be enough.
On the other hand, those on the "right" will hold their positions, no matter if there are video of them dancing with Epstein and oogling 12 year olds.
Retrumplican voters are simply NEVER required to hold their politicians accountable.
In this divided country, if just 2% of Democratic Voters hold onto a purity test, you end up with Retrumplican single party rule, 6 of 9 Supreme Court Justices appointed by fascists and drunk-ass, bug-eyed snarling corrupt pieces of amphibian shit as the Secretary of (War), FBI Director and AG!
I advocate for straight-the-fuck-down-the-line VOTING FOR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES!
Yes, I am a "partisan", but I also know this simple fact: If elected Democrats go off the rails, their voters will VOTE THEM OUT...but, if Retrumplicans drive the car down the full fascist, racist, authoritarian road, their voters will buy them the gasoline.
