Just depends who is in the office at the time.
To say this is incredibly ignorant. Over the last 53 years, Democrats have held the Executive branch for about 25 years. Republicans have held it for about 31. Look up how many indictments, prosecutions, and arrests were from each administration to get an idea of which party is generally more corrupt.
Trump (R) - 10 months in office. One criminal indictment.
Obama (D) – 8 yrs in office. Zero criminal indictments, zero convictions and zero prison sentences. So the next time somebody describes the Obama administration as “scandal free” they aren’t speaking wishfully, they’re simply telling the truth.
Bush, George W. (R) – 8 yrs in office. 16 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 9 prison sentences.
Clinton (D) – 8 yrs in office. 2 criminal indictments. One conviction. One prison sentence. That’s right nearly 8 yrs of investigations. Tens of millions spent and 30 yrs of claiming them the most corrupt ever and there was exactly one person convicted of a crime.
Bush, George H. W. (R) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment. One conviction. One prison sentence.
Reagan (R) – 8 yrs in office. 26 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 8 prison sentences.
Carter (D) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment. Zero convictions and zero prison sentences.
Ford (R) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment and one conviction. One prison sentence.
Nixon (R) – 6 yrs in office. 76 criminal indictments. 55 convictions. 15 prison sentences.
Johnson (D) – 5 yrs in office. Zero indictments. Zero convictions. Zero prison sentences.

Also, I run being empathetic is important, but building logic and reason behind that is key. You are not falling into a propaganda machine by choosing to not follow either media stream.
I agree that logic and reason are key. But not educating yourself through media is exactly what propgandists want, they want you ignorant, they want you unsure of who to trust.

Not really, you're just trying to equivocate the left and the right, when the right is objectively more corrupt and immoral than the left.

Yes, I agree. It's just more propaganda to convince people the left colluded with Russia more than the right. Which is simply factually untrue. Not sure why the other thread was locked but not this one.
