    That’s ridiculous - the group you’re part of should be judged as individuals, the group you’re not part of should be judged as a whole? That’s some double standard.

      You’re not wrong. It’s a standard that Republicans and conservatives have set for themselves through their own actions, not just from wanting to treat them differently.

      Republicans as a party, campaign on things like ending social safety nets.

      So even if you can cherry pick a single republican that didn’t try to stop something like free school lunches, it doesn’t redeem the whole party because they didn’t all work together towards it.

      Democrats as a party, campaign to improve safety nets so even if you can cherry pick an example where individual democrats didn’t then that doesn’t apply to the group because it wasn’t the party working together towards it.

      I hope that helps you understand.
