Here is the problem with that kind of thinking in this case:
Republicans could have nominated a candidate who was much more qualified and much less dishonest in 2016, 2020, and especially in 2024 (considering Trump led an insurrection) -- just like Democrats did in those years. So comparing the two parties like that at this point is a false equivalence.
And by the way, Democrats do criticize other Democrats. Haven't you watched the debates before the primaries? They just don't lie about Democrats so much as Republicans do, and again especially as Trump does. He routinely calls us crooked Marxists and Communists and accuses us of stealing elections.
You must be way out of touch with American politics right now. All of your tut-tuting sounds silly in the face of our slide toward authoritarianism.
