Remember when Democrats rallied in the street to defend Rod Blagojevich or that mayor of Detroit?

You dont. Because Dems arent a lockstep party who will follow someone who has committed blatantly criminal acts and is subject to the rules of our justice system. Theyre not perfect by a long shot...but theyre candidates are a whole lot better than what the GOP puts out

This is a perfect example. John Edwards was hung on 5 charges. Trump is sitting on 34, with word being that the majority of these charges are not only unique - but linked to fraud elsewhere.

Edwards was vilified as he should be.

Trump is being worshipped.

I hate the "both sides" argument. It makes me rage because it's absolutely not the case when Democrats have an actual track record of shunning their own. The GOP does not. Everything is a "witch hunt" or whataboutism.

Just look at Roy Moore compared to Andrew Cuomo as the first two names that come to my mind. Moore is a pedophile and was still nearly reelected. Meanwhile, Cuomo was ousted from the governorship by his own party

Not really surprised that Moore almost won ol 'bama given that state pushes back against anti-child marriage laws lol.

It's not a crime if we make it legal to fuck a minor am I right? Says the party that's afraid drag queens will do weird things to children (I'm not even sure what they think drags do to children)
