    But ‘we’d be better off in a world free of corruption’ isn’t a right-leaning position.

        Except it kiiiinda is. Cause look at the number of charges on both sides, and you’ll see an egregious swing to the right.

        no matter how much you want to push the whole “both sides are the same” shit.

        The only way you can push the both sides of are the same shit is by massively and disproportionately blowing up what the left does, and minimizing to outright ignoring what the right does.

        Also, left tends to hold itself accountable to corruption and bad behavior, Meanwhile the right… well, Do I even need to state the obvious?

          Corruption can and has existed on all sides of the political spectrum.

          Holding oneself accountable is not exclusive to any political ideology. Both sides have instances where they’ve denounced their own for wrongdoings, and both have had moments they’ve defended or ignored misconduct. It’s crucial to consider individual cases rather than painting with a broad brush.
