"bOtH sIDEs aRe BaD!"

Seriously one side is objectively worse.

Not what I said at all. Try again.

This is about the common republican whataboutism, and clarifying that no political party is above scrutiny.

So many people online take replies as contradictions when they're meant to be support. It's frustrating.

Its not objectively worse to black holes

I'm pretty sure bubonic plague isn't noticing, either.
