(100,132 posts)It started when he was running, on both the right and left.
He was too black. He wasnt black enough. And those slurs came from our friends, with plenty more. He caved on a long list of things. He was spelunking if the poster was trying to be clever. Everybody sooner or later got thrown under the bus. Like I said, our own side.
AFAIAC his greatest fault was a lack of tooting his own horn. He and Joe got a lot done, despite the GOP but unlike trump, he didnt advertise or create a Dept of Propaganda.
As for the RW, much of it was predictable only the sheer relentless volume of the racist hatred surprised me.

(38,206 posts)Dems are pilloried with ginned-up scandals because Republicans want power, not because they have actual ethical standards.
When a Dem is actually corrupt, Dems say so. Menendez is the latest example.
This is why "both sides" idiots infuriate me.
