That’s my point. The scale of the bad act shouldn’t even be a factor to be able to condemn all bad acts. After that, you can compare which side is better or worse. But this apologizing, justifying and moving the baseline to one side is at the core of two party politics.
Ok, but you also can’t pretend both parties do it on the same scale when the scales are vastly different or entirely one-sided.

You stopped replying further down the thread as soon as your argument was refuted so I’m not going to waste my time on this
