This is whataboutism. He either lied about not caving or failed to control the senate democrats. That makes him either complicit or incapable of doing his job, and either is disqualifying.

instead of whataboutism, I hope this is a moment where people can say that they agree that the VA AG's texts were terrible and that having elected officials endorse violence is awful. full stop.

Ob irgendwelche Dartscheiben Gewaltfantasien darstellen, dürfte auf den Kontext ankommen, ist aber auch Whataboutism. Hier ergibt sich der Kontext jedenfalls aus dem Text selbst. Zur Strafbarkeit habe ich mich nicht geäußert, daher weiß ich nicht, warum du das nochmal betonst.

Note that the only enemies are Trumpism and Citizens United.
The homework is even easier than last year's election, and you'll receive extra credit this time.

We have the money, knowledge and ability to provide food, shelter, daycare, education and healthcare to every US citizen.

Prioritize the anti-Trumpism coalition. Don't prioritize factional fighting within the Democratic Party. Point out the crimes of Trumpism. Resist whataboutism. Remember that Trump will not be in power forever. Plan to prosecute all his crimes. Remember that the Constitution is on your side. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

You can also see it as a particular form of whataboutism:
"You think what this politician is doing is bad, but what about how the Democrats didn't already reform the system to block all bad behavior like this. Isn't it really their fault?"

Naja, ist Wundmanagment und Ausgabe von OTC Medis wirklich so krass begehrenswert?
Ich versteh den Punkt mit der Bürokratie, der hier aber gar nicht Thema ist und die Gutste verbreitet hier eh mal wieder nur Standesdünkel mit Whataboutism ohne es zu merken.

I wish yall didn’t have such parasocial relationships with politicians so we could have honest critique w/o yall coming to their defense or engaging in “whataboutism”

This is whataboutism. You're doing it right now.
I don't know if that was possible or would have worked. But let's posit that Shor is correct for the sake of argument. He (and you) are just bringing that up to change the subject so you don't have to criticize Republicans.

Whataboutism is their last line of defense. Here are two MAGA influencers trying to whatabout antisemitism after their side finally starts to reckon with the issue.

I'm sorry to do a whataboutism, but the press can't normalize a fascist cult and then expect me to freak out because some young guy wants to open government subsidized grocery stores. That math there just doesn't compute for me.

NPR very abruptly turned from "Mostly good with some annoying centrist whataboutism I can scroll past" to "Actively harmful bullshit indistinguishable from the New York Times" and I do not like it
