  Problem is you’re doing it in defense of conservatives.

  You can say “democrats are bad” when it’s relevant. Your statement isn’t relevant in any way, and that’s what makes it whataboutism.

    But it was relevant. The comment I was replying to was saying “Republicans are bad,” so I just chimed in with “they’re all bad.”

    And I’m not defending anyone. Neocons are just as bad as neolibs. My point is that we shouldn’t be so quick to believe proven liars just because they’re saying things we like to hear.

      Well your “chiming in” included a strawman, a strawman that suggests liberals and conservatives lie the same way.

      They don’t, and the differences between the two are so obvious you’d either have to be arguing disingenuously or you’re an idiot.

      You were coming to the defense of conservatives the same way the others of your ilk do. “BuT bOtH sIdEs”.

        Hilarious! That’s some quality irony - falsely accusing me of using a strawman by using a strawman yourself. Comedy gold, my friend. Comedy gold.

        Also hilarious is the thought that someone having a different opinion from you must be either arguing disingenuously or an idiot. I’m sure you considered that my differing opinion might’ve been shaped by life experiences that differ from yours, but you smartly deduced that such a thing is impossible. Bravo. Your mother must be so proud of you.

    it’s not a defense of conservatives to say they are liars.

      No, it’s a defense of conservatives to derail the conversation into a “but both sides lie”. I’m not debating this with you troglodytes.
