So when you complain about republicans subverting democracy, it's not pertinent for anyone to ask why you don't care when democrats do it?

It's a lot easier for you to call me Mr Whatboutism, than it is for you to admit your glaring hypocrisy, I guess.

How else do you point out naked hypocrisy, than to engage it whatboutism? Are you saying it's not worthwhile to avoid hypocrisy? Seems like that's what you're saying.

And your side no longer likes the word "mister", so you should use a non-binary phrase instead of calling me Mr Whataboutism,. shouldn't you?

Talking about impeachment is a political gamesmanship thing before a presidential election and Trump is more guilty of that crap than anyone; sh*t who hasn't he threatened with legal action these past four years.

Big difference when the sitting president and his boot licking republicans are attempting to tell citizens of this country, their vote doesn't matter and in the process steel an election that has already been certified.

Nobody is surprised about it sadly, because Trump has been announcing his plans for the past year, probably in an attempt to suppress the vote; ironically he probably is single handedly responsible for the biggest turnout in history.

These republicans are stepping up to fight for leadership roles in the new Trump style republican party, which it now apparently has become.

"Talking about impeachment is a political gamesmanship thing before a presidential election "

They did it after the election, before the inauguration. It was one of may attempts to undermine the election. But you can dismiss it as gamesmanship.

"Trump is more guilty of that crap than anyone"

NOW WHO IS GUILTY OF WHATABOUTISM? As always, it's OK when you do it, only problematic when I do it?

"Big difference when the sitting president and his boot licking republicans are attempting to tell citizens of this country, their vote doesn't matter "

Again, democrats also tried to tell Americans that their vote doesn't matter, by trying to get electors (after the 2016 election) not to cast their votes for Trump, and by spending the better part of 4 years trying to find a way to remove him from office. When republicans try to say elections don't matter, you say that's bad (and I agree). When democrats do it, you dismiss it.
