False Equivalencies In Defense Of Dotard's Sedition

According to the Libertarian Dotard-defending blogger Willis Hart, republicans objecting to the Electoral College votes being counted in states that went for Biden is just fine. Because Democrats did it too.

Al Gore and Hillary Clinton insisted for months that the election had been stolen from them? They fomented violence that resulted in supporters storming congress in the middle of the electoral college vote? I don't remember that happening.

Did Al Gore, in his position as outgoing VP, call ANY state rep and ask them to "find" enough votes to make him the winner, Willis? What state officials did Hillary Clinton pressure? Did Al Gore or Hillary Clinton (or any associate) urge their supporters to march on the capitol and engage in "trial by combat"?

I do agree with Willis that we have two sets of political rules in this country; one for Republicans and one for Democrats. He's wrong about who needs to develop a backbone, however. It's the Democrats. republicans (who want fewer people to vote) are going to move agressively to make it harder for people to do mail-in voting. Instead of allowing them to do this, Democrats need to counter them agressively.

As opposed to allowing republicans to get away with it. As they've allowed republicans to get away with supressing the vote for decades. Voter suppression is what allowed gwb to get the vote close enough in FL so his brother (with an assist from the Supreme Court) could steal the election from Al Gore.

High on the Biden Administration's agenda (as well as the agenda of the incoming Democratic congress) should be to pass the John Lewis voting rights act. Also high on the Democratic agenda should be pursuing charges against Dotard for his seditious actions (call to GA threatening that republicans in charge there "find" him enough votes to flip the election, inciting violence in DC, etc).

btw, if the VP can decide to throw out votes (as Dotard believes Pence could have), why didn't Al Gore throw out FL (or any other state) and make himself president?
