Yep. You got me there. I haven’t had a single social media account since I was banned off of reddit two years for calling Ukraine a “nazi-ass proxy war”. Been lurking here for a while now to cope with depression.
Definitely not defending Dems. I can’t even read that in any way other than ‘this political party committed a mountain of war crimes’.
I’m not assuming anything about their voting record other than that they claim to have voted for / supported that party in the past. Considering that all the Democratic party votes and cheerleading for endless war and atrocities is public record, I think it’s fair to ask why earlier events in history weren’t enough to come to the same conclusion.
No of course not, but its hard to imagine American voters forgot the US military killed millions of people in my country. It was a pretty big deal at the time and there sure are a whole lot of films celebrating it.
It really is an honest question, though. I think it’s interesting where people draw lines and “I really didn’t know about those other things” is also a totally reasonable answer, should it be offered.
I mean… Andrew Jackson, the founder of the “Democratic Party”, was a genocidal warhawk maniac that signed the Indian Removal Act which was a edict to ethnically cleanse the Native American population and steal their land and killed waaay more people than Isntreal has. What made all those bigger stains wash off, but not this one?
I knew this as a child. When I got to voting age I thought maybe Obama would close Guantanamo, so I voted for him. That is the only time I ever voted for a president. People can be wrong for thinking harm reduction is a valid choice.
You just came in real hot with an account that has almost no history how is anyone supposed to know your intentions when you come in berating people for explaining how they learned they were wrong?
I don’t think they are defending Dems. Making some weird assumptions about your voting record though which is odd.

Not speaking for supa specifically but it’s not fair or reasonable to expect people to have perfect knowledge at all times.

Fair enough. I’m just interested in where people draw their lines on electoral participation. And yeah, I know that makes people pretty defensive.
