Everyone I've seen on the Democrats side was calling for him to resign. Something we dont see on the right

But I dont think people are their mistakes if it's truly in the past

I welcome white Republicans and Democrats that were racist or racially insensitive to not be those types of people anymore. You're right Democrats should be careful how they conduct themselves and how to attack others. Republicans should also stop harboring racists and playing gotcha with Democrats


those calls to resign came from democratic activists and figures far away from Virginia. not from the national party leadership, not from the power brokers in the Virginia Democratic party.

Btw, I totally agree that we should stop playing gotcha. But this has to apply to both sides. Unfortunately, the democrats are totally in love with their new toy of "weaponized morality".

It hasnt been shown that Ford was being intentionally dishonest or malicious.


mailing her case to a senator instead of the police
demanding senator keep it a secret for month and a half
dropping her case after the nominee has been approved

no red flags here

You would be doing yourself a favor by sticking to facts and the cases of clear malicious dishonesty. The evidence isn't there in Ford's case

I understand why the right does it but I dont think it's productive

These wars are the same whether it's on offline, online, political, social. Unless someone starts standing on principles it will always just be neverending trophy hunts where each side constantly collects heads from the other side but in that they carry on the battle which will only cause them more losses

Maybe Republicans should take a principled stance if they believe the Democrats arent and make it clear that neither side should be destroyed for being humans decades ago. And no it didnt start recently or just with Democrats. These wars have been going on a long time in the media in politics in Hollywood in the workplace. It's people trying to control and in some ways succeeding. With the internet it's just on all the steroids

Agreed. It were the Republicans who started using weaponized morality in large doses during the 70s and 80 when they sucked up to white evangelicals.

This is one of the reasons why I prefer mixed power and neither holding too much

Republican party is too comfortable with racists and Democrat party is too comfortable using it as a weapon

The Republicans that excuse harmful or objective racism dont do people like you any good that are not racist but agree with Republican principles and democrats that weaponize the label dont do me any favors by focusing on people being insensitive which shifts the focus away from injustices in the legal system or policing that should always be the focus
