There is such much "what-about-ism" and false righteousness, from both liberals and conservatives, in this thread and other threads I've seen in the politics fourum.  If you are on the left you refuse to acknowledge blatantly wrong things that the left is doing. If you are on the right you refuse to acknowledge blatantly wrong things that the right is doing. Instead of having a real discussion its all about scoring points for "your team".

Nobody wants to call a spade a spade anymore. This thread is a perfect example of that. Anybody that calls Rocky Adkins a far left, radical extremist is either 1) not being serious or 2) does not know anything about Rocky. Is Rocky more liberal than Rand Paul on issues like healthcare expansion and supporting unions? Yes. But he is also more culturally conservative than most Democrats and has bucked his party to vote Pro-Life in the past. Are there members of the Democratic Party that are too extreme? Yes, both nationally and in Kentucky. But Rocky isn't one of them. If Rocky were to switch his party registration to Republican there would be a ton of Republicans supporting him even if he didn't change a single policy stance.

Also nobody wants to acknowledge that two things can be right at the same time because again everything is about scoring political points. A perfect example of this is the other thread about Matt Gaetz. Two things can be right at the same time. If Matt Gaetz sexually assaulted minors and was in any way involved in a sex trafficking ring then he should resign. If Andrew Cuomo was sexually assaulting his female staffers then he should resign. It should not matter that Gaetz is a Republican and Cuomo is a Democrat.

Rocky will vote with the Dems every single time if he were to ever be in Congress. Fact, and end of story. But I will play along with your theory, name something conservatives are doing that is blatantly wrong?
