Marion Berry and Gary Hart and Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy and Jesse Jackson are/were all Republicans?
There’s no such thing as an infallible human being. Apologists for both sides ignore truth.
Each of the Democrats I listed above was caught lying and/or cheating, if you yourself don’t want to face that, I’m not the one who’s figuratively “drinking the Kool-Aid”.
You’re merely being facetious, which is not only your right it’s also acceptable; I, however am merely stating facts. Not every Democrat is either good or bad, not every Democrat is either completely good or completely bad, not every Democrat is either 100% intelligent or 100% unintelligent, not every Democrat has always done what was right or has always done what was wrong, etc.
In my state also, there are things the Democrat politicians have done with which I disagree and/or dislike, similar to your view of what Republicans have done in your state. You have the right to view it from your perspective and to express yourself in the way that you see fit. I’m just stating that membership in any political party doesn’t automatically make any person right or wrong. If that were true, the cities, counties and states run by your beloved Democrats would be perfectly-run places to live and work. Chicago is one of many examples of a Democrat-run political machine that was plagued by cronyism, nepotism, corruption, graft, mismanagement for decades on end, yet many people turned a blind eye to it, which in turn helped its negative legacy continue administration after administration. That could not have happened without lying and cheating on the parts of many Democrats.
If you want to pretend that Marion Berry didn’t get caught on camera doing drugs with a prostitute and later get convicted of crimes and go to prison for them, you’re entitled to. Bill Clinton had his lies blasted all over international news, and I believe that having sex with Monica Lewinsky counts as cheating on his wife. Ted Kennedy was up to shenanigans when Mary Jo Kopeche died in his car, yet his power, influence, lies and cheating helped him move beyond it as if her life was meaningless. Reverend Jesse Jackson wanted to be president of the US, his being a Democrat didn’t stop him from a secret affair and out-of-wedlock baby. Gary Hart also wanted to be president and challenged reporters to follow him after they asked about the affair he was having, he lied about it, got caught and ruined his bid. Gavin Newsome and his aunt Nancy Pelosi were caught in their lies and squirmed their way out of them,
There are at least a dozen more factual examples of Democrats doing wrong, but you’re right, it’s only Republicans who ever do anything wrong. [Insert eye-roll here.]
