auxiliary + subject is added to a negative statement for the same purpose:
I suggested that he should take the job, and so did all his friends. (his friends also suggested that
he should take the job)
Everybody knows that, and so should you. (you should know that, too)
"I love South Korean films." "Really? So do I." (I also love South Korean films)
"I am not going to Andy's party tonight." "Neither/nor is Susan." (Susan isn't going either)
