minus-squaremojofrododojo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 day agoyou aren’t wrong at all. LBJ let Nixon do a bit o treason to get the job in the first place. Even called it treason. Then we let Reagan do a bit of treason -agan with reach-around negotiations - to get the job from Carter. Then a bit of brooks bros treason-er-riot so we get bushy. I keep on hearing about this ‘both sides are just as bad’ but I never see the Dems pushing a candidate in via treason. funny that.
