I spent 4 years believing the election was stolen, but the solution was not to burn down the system, but to use the proper legal tools to investigate & publicize that theft (lots of indictments/guilty pleas & supporting documentation) and make sure such theft doesn't happen again, including *gasp* the right to vote and have your vote counted properly (this largely happened much more securely and audited, though we still have less data & confirmation for ES&S machines. That's not conspiracy - that's asking for audits and oversight and proper control of software for the nation's leading vote machine by far).

Certainly Bill Clinton didn't stop the post office from counting absentee ballots in 2000, and indeed *some* late Florida military votes were counted *without* postmark. Clinton didn't toss thousands of voters off the voting rolls the way the Florida state gov did. Clinton didn't push dozens of voting laws in North Carolina that were deemed unconstitutional/illegal by the courts but we're used in elections to diaenfranchise voters meanwhile. Obama didn't encourage Russian hackers to hack the Republicans' servers.Hillary didn't hold meetings during the campaign with Russians, UAE, Israeli and Egyptian operatives who offered aid in shifting the election. Nor did Hillary's campaign team hold email release meetings with an indicted Russia-connected foreign leaker who had access to that stolen data, nor offer him a pardon. Hillary's team didn't offer polling data for key states to Russian GRU-connected Ukrainian oligarchs 2 1/2 months before the election. Neither Biden nor Obama pressured a foreign head of state bybwitholding 100s of millions in Congressional aid until he dug up dirt on his opponent. And however pissed Hillary was, she accepted the apparent defeat for the good of the country, avoiding division, and diplomatically showed up for inauguration and ate shit with a smile in front of millions. The Democrats didn't have a Governor candidate run while retaining the role of chief vote counter, where 10's of thousands of likely opposition votes just up and disappeared.

So they can fuck off with the "both sides do it" equation. The Democratic Party is *largely* the party of laws and precedents and doing what's healthy for the country. The Republicans have *become* the party of winning at any cost, even if it hurts their own constituents. That is a simple reality, whether certain situations don't support that basic lay of the land. Exceptions don't destroy rules - in small quantities they highlight them.
