Yes, a handful of people in the Democrat party suck.

But that's not the same as saying they're the same as Republicans. Not even remotely close.

The "both sides" stuff is an amateur, armchair take that tells me the person doesn't actually follow what's happening.

And again, you don't need any more proof that what they actually vote on. Go ahead, look up the bills. How does the "both sides" argument stand up to the fact that we have the most divided congress in almost 100 years?
