Restated, what they are really saying is that Democrats are forced to lie by virtue of having to run against others in elections to keep their jobs.
If only Republicans didn't oppose them in elections, Democrat candidates wouldn't have to openly lie about their intentions and their records in response to others who want their jobs, and who offer different opinions, experiences, and skills.

Well, yeah, except for solipsistic libs, truth is only what they think it is, so the term “lie” is not something they understand.
