This is what drives me nuts about both sides the same. Democrats still resign from scandal (or if their assholish enough switch parties) and they bring their own members to task. Has not happened with republicans this millenium.
That's why I don't respect Democrats as fully. They think if they play by the rules and do all of these honorable political moves (whatever is left or what they are anymore anyways) that they'll gain public favor. However, it doesn't work as well as they think because all it does it wither down public trust and faith because the Republicans happily destroy things in a matter of days to even hours. Irreparable damage or damage that'll last for several administrations to fix.
All that Republicans will do is just kick Democrats to the curb and mock all honest and honorable gestures. They're a party of dishonor and decay. Democrats need to fight fire with fire, but they don't have the spine to do it, they'll just fall in line just as we've seen with Jan 6th this year, just as we've seen when Trump was making all of those demands at one point and Schumer followed suit. No spine. Nothing.
well it does win favor with folks like me. Its not acceptable for anyone to not play by the rules. If trump played by the rules I would begrudgingly accept his presidency and not protest and such.
