"Whataboutism" has become a commonplace word for deflecting fair charges of blatant hypocrisy.
So, now Democrats can flip-flop however they want; and if anyone calls them out, they just roll their eyes and go, "Whataboutism again."
So irritating -- yelling out, "Whataboutism!" and thinking you've actually made a point with that stupid buzzword.

Criticism from opposition is always easier, but that doesn't make it any less valid. I would also observe that the validity of charges of hypocrisy don't invalidate the initial point made (hypocritical or not.)
The solution is, of course, to improve to the point that the criticism is no longer valid (or make best effort to move in that direction, or show that it can't be done.)
