This is US (republicans, conservatives) asking for, and getting a new leader in the Senate. THEY (democrats, liberals) have the double standard. We don't. We're not perfect, but we are more principled than they are, and have better ideas too. If we get this message out over the next two years and beyond, this will help our side.

We're not perfect, but we are more principled than they are, and have better ideas too.

In a way, it is a compliment to us that there is this "double standard." It is as if we (conservatives/republicans) are the adults and they (liberals) are the children. You cannot expect the children to behave. They are still learning. The adults are expected to know better.
