And those "arrests" weren't even real. They faked being in handcuffs. A publicist even announced on Twitter the "arrests" were going to happen beforehand.

I learned that the Democrats rig primaries. What did you learn?
Both parties are the same. Their donors are the same people. They just target their theater to different groups. These politicians are all phonies and until everyone sees that we're going to get the same crappy results.
Are they in jail? Did someone come bail them out? Are there mug shots?
They got cited and fined 50 bucks, they pretended to be handcuffed by magical invisible handcuffs that disappeared when they felt the need to throw a fist salute to the crowd. Does that about sum it up?
Seriously, "pretend to be handcuffed" is about the lowest you can go as far as getting me to care about your cause.
Don't care.
Feel free to provide voting records that show your theory. You will quickly move goalposts and start more clearing citing conspiracy theories, because Both Sides Are Nowhere Near The Fucking Same.
Both sides-ism has a low social cost. Everyone is bad to some extent, this can always be true in a vacuous sense, nobody is offended. You are not partisan nor biased if everyone is bad. If someone questions you you can infinitely motte-bailey backwards into an agreeable position, just by saying you are actually taking no position.
This week the far left got arrested for protesting abortion rights, while the far right tried to block countries from joining NATO and it's the usual pro-Russian agenda GOP politicans.
Also this week, the House voted to move forward with codifying marriage rights, and only Republicans voted no.
We could go on all day. Both sides are not the same and even remotely implying otherwise is very ignorant and damaging. Didn't you learn anything after 2016? Even Hacker News is no longer safe for reasonable discourse?
