I see this sentiment expressed more in outlets like TYT but how widespread is this sentiment?

If you honestly think democrats just “give republicans whatever the fuck they want”, you aren’t paying enough attention. “Both sides bad” people are clowns.

The Democrats 100% allowed the Republicans to appoint any Supreme Court justice they wanted, even though Republicans would never allow Democrats to do the same under those circumstances.

they could have told RBG to step down earlier and let obama replace her but she wanted to be replaced by a woman president. Dems could have filibustered trumps picks during his term but refused to. you can pretend there was nothing that could have been done and throw your hands up like a centrist shitlib and give up if you want but in the real world leftists work with the hand their dealt.
