If I have that wrong, please clarify.
You're wrong, and you know you're wrong. You're being, as Andy Dufresne put it, 'obtuse.'

Democrats are not 'flip-flopping.' In February of 2016, Democrats nominated a Supreme Court Justice. Republicans decided it was inappropriate to nominate a Justice in an election year. Democrats were ultimately forced to accept this precedent-setting decision by the Republicans.

Having accepted precedent, Democrats are now simply asking Republicans to live up to their own standards.

You are playing semantic games with the word 'flip-flopping' because you are a troll.
