This is whataboutism and it's not even good whataboutism. People do slam the Republicans for their lies and slander. That doesn't mean the DNC's poop can't stink.

No, this isn't whataboutism. I genuinely don't understand why one side in our debates gets to make these vile accusations and takes all day, and collectively, we shrug. Xitter is full of terrible takes; sure, plenty of people slam Republicans, and it has no impact. This is about the idealogical receptiveness of the electorate. Bill Kristol, Charlie, and JVL are obviously right, this IS poor messaging, only because the broader Democratic coalition doesn't want to hear this kind of messaging. But it is an undeniable fact that much of the MAGA base LIVES for this kind of dialogue.
In the before times this would have just been a normal partisan tweet. When party membership is at its most fluid because one party is no longer normal it's not a time for playing games but for encouraging people to break out of their comfort zones. This message sends the opposite message and I think it's good to be called out.

Perhaps I misunderstood. I apologize.

The amount of consternation from the civility police when Democrats act out of sorts is absolutely noticeable.
