In response to this: > [@If Democrats decide to stop being "the adult in the room"](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-democrats-decide-to-stop-being-the-adult-in-the-room/827324/72): > > The Democrats never elevated to national office someone who spread racist evidence-free conspiracy theories for years. There is no Democratic equivalent of Trump. Not even close. liar HD’s response is: > [@If Democrats decide to stop being "the adult in the room"](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-democrats-decide-to-stop-being-the-adult-in-the-room/827324/73): > > What are you defining as “national office”? So basically, he accepts that Trump spread racist evidence-free conspiracy theories for years, and his response is (or would be if I engaged him, which I won’t) ‘but Democrats do it too!’. Which they don’t, quite obviously. ---

On the one hand, the Report Post button is there for a reason, and I don’t really mind its being used when anyone, for any reason, feels the rules have been violated. On the other hand, if jerks can leverage the system to continue being jerks perhaps it’s the system that’s at issue. ---

However, I’ve tried to engage with him since then and I’ve been really let down. His thread about Democrats/mobs-Republican/jobs was basically the last straw for me and I won’t engage with him anymore.
