Began a campaign of drone assassinations in the Middle East and Africa, in which 90% of those killed were not the intended targets, but innocent civilian bystanders, including women, children, and US citizens. 1. Drone strikes are used by the military and the CIA to hunt down and kill people the Obama administration has deemed — through secretive processes, without indictment or trial — worthy of execution. He authorized 10 times more drone strikes than George W Bush, 2. The Obama assassination program is detailed in the drone papers.
The liberal brain, gentlemen. Tou Thao was convicted for keeping bystanders from intervening while not doing anything himself. He might’ve been less worse, but he still deserved to go to prison. And he remained unrepentant to the end. Of the four cops he got the second worst sentence despite never laying a hand on Mr. Floyd precisely because he refused to admit any culpability. It really is a good comparison, seeing this comment.
It’s really a great representation because if Floyd actually overpowered Chauvin, you know for a 100% fact that Thao would have resorted to the same direct violence himself, he just didn’t have to because someone else was doing the dirty work sufficiently.
Yeah…they are watching and doing nothing…a failure and an accessory. The results are the same whether they are there or not, when they could prevent atrocities.
This who is better bullshit doesnt matter, they are complicit.
If we remove the Republicans, things get better. If we remove the Democrats, things stay the same. It’s not a question of who is better, but who is worse. Until we change the voting and representation systems (hello Approval Voting and Sequential Proportional Approval Voting) picking the lesser evil is the only logical and moral choice.
They are complicit by only striving to be less evil. Would you be happy between choosing a rape and murder of your parents or just a murder? One is clearly less than the other so we should be happy with that over the alternative.
One is clearly preferrable, neither is acceptable.
Dems had power for enough time to change elections and did not, thus enabling this regime.
It’s no accident, I’m sure. They are better, as they’re not helping the killers, but they’re nowhere near as good as is necessary to stop them. Pretty much the perfect definition of the average democratic politician these days: you vote for them to stop the killing, but you know that - whether by choice or not - they won’t do anything to prevent more deaths when the killers come back into power.
I’m happy we’re electing people like Zohran Mamdani, but we’re going to need a lot more of them before our leftmost viable party can be considered even a little left. We need politicians that make change, and when the system doesn’t let them, they band together with the rest of the population to force it, instead of just complaining about how they wish they could make change but can’t. The leaders need to be leading the charge, to battle if necessary.
The republican is actively killing. Yeah that seems to check out.
I know you’re trying to say they’re the same but no, they’re not. You accidentally showed how dems are better.
After winning the Nobel peace prize, Obama dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.

Decades of “lesser evil” voting is what got you where you are today.
Nope. Decades of people choosing Republicans is what got us here.
But again, change the system, don’t ask people to change. They never will.
It’s not like the democrats committed a genocide

Ask George Floyd which was better for him.
Shitlibs thinking they’re the hero taking the photo and not the one under the boot .
