Yes, the most important thing to do after every Republican atrocity is to remember how BoTh SiDeS are identical morally.

When Democrats inevitably take power again, and refuse to prosecute these war crimes, remember this to remind yourself that they are the enemy as well, even if not the immediate one.

That’s not a both sides argument.
That’s someone who’s lived through many cycles of American hot potato, and is under no illusion as to who the Democrats are, which is not the same as the Republicans, but still their own lesser brand of banal evil.

It’s your type’s eagerness to always bring it back to Democrats that is notable.

Misread your comment the first time.
What is my type?
Again, I have lived through many transitional elections and I’ve seen this cycle many times before, so I’m sorry saying out loud the reality of our broken two-party American political system is hurtful to you.
What I’m actually eager for, is to stop that cycle, and to stop it, you must first acknowledge it.

I think you are reading a different comment.

And that the Democratic poster child was doing the exact same thing, don't forget that part.

I don’t think Carter, AOC, or Mamdani authorized drone strikes. Obama, a centrist at best, definitely did.
circuscritic@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Remind me, who was the last non-centrist Democratic President?
NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
Sure, but I think it's clear from context that I'm talking about Obama. Establishment bootlickers love him so this is a good opportunity to highlight their hypocrisy.

Obama bombed his own citizens in Yemen.

Tweets. Midly worded mid level corporate manager pc tweets at best.

I'd argue Democrats coming back to power isn't inevitable, far from it. America is in for either revolution, civil war or decades of fascist rule. Something needs to give before corporate centrists can hold power in America again, and so far it hasn't.

They’re called elections.
And before you tell me Trump is going to rig them, they just lost the last batch of them.
So please take your civil war bullshit somewhere else.

He's going to rig them and, if that fails, just launch a coup.
Yes, because they didn't actually need to win those. He still has a loyal majority in Congress.
Someone disagreeing with you isn't "a lie," and besides, you should look at what fascism looks like historically. Did the Nazis get voted out post-Enabling Act?
