    No it’s a candidate problem. Blaming citizens is the same as Republicans blaming people for being poor. They are ignorant because there are no good leaders inspiring people to be better. And it’s of course because of money in politics. Decent people simply aren’t put up to run. Only the most bootlicking frauds are allowed to run. Dems are owned by corporate donors just as much as the Republicans.

      i don’t recall democrats ever making campaign promises to ban an entire religion, and build a wall around mexico because its full of rapists. Any comparison there?

      Sure they are both backed by money, but only one is backed by hatred and malice–thus the mass shootings and prejudice. This isn’t new information MLK was shot for working against this…

          i disagree, their arguments play into my hands, they again and again show they know nothing but hatred for the ‘other’. They can claim they want peace all they want but when they ransacked the state capital on January they lost all credibility. Face it, they are on the side of racists morons who worship rich people.

        Me neither, but I do recall them going after people of a certain religion, and sending them to torture prisons. I remember them fast-tracking a bunch of funding for the wall, and deporting more people than first-term Trump.

        So sure, maybe they didn’t campaign on being evil, but once they had the power, they sure acted evil.

          yeah after 9/11 you mean when we invaded iraq for lies and started torturing muslims in black-sites? Oh wait that was Bush.

          Oh I know what you mean when that one democrat took out that ad about the central park 5 calling for their execution and doubled down after they were exonerated? oh wait that was trump. Wait wait do you mean how Democrats took the ‘great replacement theory’ and made it mainstream? Oh wait that was also republicans… Or how about the DOGE guy doing the nazi salute live on television? wait, he’s also aligned with trump. Gee coming up with a hard time coming up with examples here. Help me out

            No, I mean after 9/11 when Obama continued Bush’s policies, including torturing people at black-sites, and bombing children overseas. I also mean when Biden sent Haitians off to torture camps in Guantanimo. I also mean when Biden spent a bunch of money expanding ICE, the border wall and our military.

            So yeah, if you keep ignoring when Democrats act evil, you won’t have any memory of them acting eveil. I suggest next time you look for data, before saying that you don’t remember any data.

              If obama had stopped what bush had started he would have been obstructed, like he was with everything else. By the way, who killed Bin-Laden? Who actually got stuff done? Who expanded drilling for oil and nixing environmental protections? They are leagues apart and the only thing shouting “both shides are the shame” is doing is harming the country and turning us against each other. They aren’t the same.

              This is akin to civil war apologists saying it was about state rights and not human rights. Republicans would have smoked smokey the bear with a 12 gauge and then posed with his corpse; conservatives literally had their soldiers stacking iraqi’s like pyramids and electrocuting their genitals but no! “both sides are the same”

              im tired of it. Its not the same, no matter how much you white wash it.

                Then he should have gone down fighting. He chose to grow the wars because his doners wanted him to. And if by “got stuff done” you mean “bombed kids”, or “tortured innocent people” or “sold out homeowners to protect the banks”, then I’d say it was indeed Obama. You know who also expanded drilling for oil? Biden

                I’d rather have politicians who try for what I want and fail, than politicans who are successfull at what I don’t want.

                Also, please point out where I said both sides are the same. It’s amazing to me how liberals constantly yell at me for things I do not believe, and haven’t said.

                  imagine being half white but the entire country calls you the first black prezzo. Imagine passing the affordable care act saving peoples lives from financial ruin and it was a republicans idea but it gets called Obama-care. Imagine old women calling you the N-word live on tv at Mccains rallies. Imagine bumper stickers with target sites over your face donning pickup trcuks. They are not the same my guy. Obama was up against the wall and did what he could to keep the nation together and did. And he not only did it but he did it with finesse. (and this isnt even mentioning the hate his wife got for daring to be african american) America is a racist country, desperately trying to downplay Obama’s legacy by equalizing him to trump a cheating loser who failed a university, casino (multiple) stiffs contractors, insults disabled people, deregulates environmental safety regulations, I could go on and on. They are NOT THE SAME.

                  But go ahead, keep thinking both sides are the same, it makes you sound so smart! What a smart man you are!

                    Imagine being a 4 year old in the middle east. Imagine being blown up by the first half-black president! Do you know how amazing and progressive that must feel?

                    Imaginge being tortured in a prison, with the approval of a person who had been called the N-word. Can you imagine how liberating that must be?

                    Imagine losing your home, and watching the bank that owned your mortgage making billions of dollars in profit, but all, while a PoC was president. Can you imagine how great that must feel? To know that America was so forward thinking?

                    I don’t really care about Obama’s race. I care that Obama screwed over the working class, and tortured and killed innocent people.

                    Once again, I ask you to point out where I said that “they are the same”. You won’t, because I haven’t said that, because I don’t believe they are the same. Come back when you are done tilting at windmills
