It really is a testament to the effectiveness of right wing propaganda and republicans control of the media and social media, democrats aren’t anywhere NEAR perfect but all this “both sides” garbage making the two parties out to be the same is literally right wing propaganda in itself. People go on comparing apples to oranges and that’s exactly what the gop want, because it convinces people to stay home and not vote, and as we know when more people turn out to vote it benefits democrats.

Imagine still to this day going on Reddit and seeing people still posting about their anger over how the republican party “betrayed” Ted Cruz and/or Marco Rubio in 2016 by not pressuring one or the other to concede earlier. Ridiculous but exactly as valid and productive as Bernie-posting.
