ICE agent fatally shoots protester in Minneapolis: Self-defense or police brutality?

[SOTTREADER]

And, I realize SOTTREADER that you keep making fun of those who keep saying that it's the democrats fault for so many things, but the truth is, they are for the most part. Yes, there certainly are republicans who are stealing from the people and who are just really despicable creatures, who are committing fraud among other things, there are in both parties; but the democrats are, literally, on the illegal alien criminals' side doing all they can to keep them in the US for, I would say, many purposes. And, the democrats are doing all they can to keep men in women's/girl's sports, locker rooms and bathrooms; along with maiming and sterilizing children with helping children to transition. They seem to be against the citizens and their safety.

fwiw

Oh God, so someone noticed

Uhm, well, I have noted that something Trump does is always deflect via the Democrats. Basically, the argument is, it's either a Democrat hoax or whatever it is Trump has done wrong, the Democrats would be worse.


There are only 2 options and because the Democrats are worse, by default, we just have to suck up to Trump. This is basically the position.

I challenged myself on this position.

Bush started the war on terror, and what a wonderful war that was.

Trump version 1 gave up Operation Warp speed. Incalculable damage that is yet to be fully understood!

Trump version 2 has now fully embraced his Darth Vader arc and if he doesn't stop himself soon, God knows where the world will be in 3 years time. There's more chance of a nuclear bomb going off under this current Trump administration than at anytime in the last 25 years.

The Democrats are bad, certainly, but the Republicans are also bad.

Basically a no win situation between the two. The system still wins.

So, I only point out the Democrats as a way of pointing out the absurdity in this position of choosing between Republican or Democrat.

I remember some of those comments. I don't think SOTTREADER's point was to say that the democrats were not at fault for so many things. Rather, I think those comments were directed at a couple of forum members who seem to be fully committed to support and excuse anything and everything that Trump does.

For example, if Trump is being criticized for, whatever, let's say kidnapping Maduro, the Trump supporting forum members would say that Trump is right because the democrats.

Of course, if you are a US citizen, when it comes to the elections, you have the choice to vote republican, democrat, third party or not vote at all. But, even if your team wins and the guy you voted for is in power, I think the right thing to do is to speak up when they are in the wrong. Excusing evil because the other team is worse doesn't seem very sane.

@Carlos Alberto articulated my thoughts well. It's pretty much what he says above.

And this isn't to say one is pro-Democrat.

I can only add that the "other" team being worse may change depending on how deep into the abyss Trump chooses to go. Time will tell.
