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

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?
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
@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.

What bill are the Dems blocking?

He’s asking for an example where the Dems blocked a vote on a topic at or around as significant as a supreme court nominee.

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.
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
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.
