Except for breaching police barricades, breaking windows, breaking doors, beating police officers with any and all available objects. Getting people killed.

But that's just on the goon squad side, on the admin side they conspired criminally to submit fraudulent electors and attempted to push Pence beyond his Constitutionally defined role to tabulate the electors for the 2020 election.

That's, in large part, what the indictments in D.C. and Georgia are all about.

There is no Democratic equivalent here. Gore conceded. Clinton conceded.

Now, Gore probably should not have. A full recount of Florida showed that no matter how you counted the ballots, Gore actually won. But that was not discovered until after Bush was already installed.

Clinton has other issues, refusing to acknowledge her own role in her own loss. Going to the heart of coal country and talking about how she wanted to put a bunch of people out of work absolutely killed her in PA. She has never acknowledged that. Same for utterly failing to campaign in states she took for granted like Wisconsin and Michigan.

But the key difference here is that I'm free to admit where Democratic candidates fucked up and demand they do better. You will never see that on the Republican side.
