Comment on US Senate passes Ukraine aid, but House Speaker refuses to hold vote

  Until the Dems block a supreme court vote and steal a justice, significantly altering the course of American history and jurisprudence, you don’t get to both sides this particular issue.

    Sure I do, bad move + bad move =/ good move. You can’t justify one party acting bad just because another party is acting worse.

      What was the Democrats’ bad action in this example?

        When in doubt, just block the vote you’re afraid of losing. Is used by both parties all the time, instead of getting it to the floor and getting it passed or rejected. So you can’t accuse one party of doing it for the bill you want to be passed without acknowledging the same is being done by the other party for the bill you don’t like.

        @retrieval4558@mander.xyz tried to dismiss the argument by showcasing all the bad things were done prior to this bill to justify not bringing the bill to the floor vote by one party, by condemning the identical act by different party.

      Ok, but you also can’t pretend both parties do it on the same scale when the scales are vastly different or entirely one-sided.

        That’s my point. The scale of the bad act shouldn’t even be a factor to be able to condemn all bad acts. After that, you can compare which side is better or worse. But this apologizing, justifying and moving the baseline to one side is at the core of two party politics.
