>Nobody said 1 political party/etc is "fully innocent".

Isn't that the implication when someone throws accusation at one side and then act like commenters shouldn't be allowed to point out the other side does the exact same thing?!

It's not as bad on NH compared to reddit, but it is still the same stupid pattern everytime politics or war is discussed :

- Group A: "anyone voting for X is evil because X did [bad thing], vote for Y instead"

- Group B: "Y also does the exact same thing, voting for them would do nothing to stop [bad thing]"

- Group A: accusation of whataboutism
