Isn't it par for the course in American politics that both the democrats and republicans have pathetic nominees? What makes this specific one worth discussing?

Relevant anecdote from the past NFL weekend: I was watching Jaguars@Cowboys on Puls 4 (Austrian free-TV) and the live feed had a "Next up" for 60 Minutes that showed Donald Trump. One of the Austrian commentators instantly said, "Oh look, the Americans will follow up sports with comedy."

So you defend this with whataboutism?  I could have sworn the Left was done with whataboutism.  At least they seemed to have a problem when the Trump supporters used it.

The reason this is worth discussing is that not only are the Dems supposed to be the party of the minority, where this woman lied for decades about her heritage to advance in life, taking actual jobs from minorities, but it also shows the ridiculous double standards Dems have for themselves versus the rest of the world.  I mean, just in the past few months we had the Kavanaugh "guilty before proven innocent" from an accusation of 36 years ago, with absolutely no proof, while at the same time the 2nd in command of the DNC was being accused of assault from just 2 years ago, with the woman claiming to actually have proof.  Of course, they defend their guy, instead of adopting the standard they want for everyone else, just kick them out.  Now, we have the Left calling racism left and right, talking about how bad cultural appropriation is, but are now defending a woman who actually did culturally appropriate.  And not because she thought a Eastern dress looked cool, so she wore it, but to actually get positions as a "person of color."
