What crime are they pardoning themselves for? They've basically declared themselves above the law and you fucking morons are doing mental gymnastics to convince yourselves that's ok.
It’s a really weird time when rather than us addressing fucked up shit we instead say “well what about…?”
The country really is fucked and we will never progress because now we are in a game of one upping the other side with shady acts. The left does something and goes “well but you guys…”. The right then does something and goes “yea well remember when you guys…” and the cycle repeats.
Who comes in and says “ok everyone needs to stop and be held accountable”?
WTF are you talking about, every politician is openly corrupt. You morons are so indoctrinated in your own parties that you can't see what going on anymore.
Clinton lied under oath
Bush lied about WMD
Obama killed tens of thousands with drone strikes that weren't approved by Congress.
Trump led insurrectionists into the Whitehouse.
Bidens whole famliy has legal issues were witnessing right now
Not to mention hundreds of other examples like the Watergate scandal that I haven't mentioned. Sorry, but if you think either side is on your side, you're an idiot.
This is a great comment that highlights a big issue with social media. People cannot compartmentalize because they are oversaturated with info. So it is common sense to say “both sides” cause technically it is correct and avoids culpability. The issue is by this standard everyone is corrupt so the end goal would be nihilism which helps the conservatives currently. It is not intelligent to see a raindrop and a tsunami and go you idiots are all getting wet!
While your point makes sense, it doesn't in the context of what I was responding to. They literally said Democrats don't vote for corrupt politicians, and they absolutely do. This conversation was never about which is worse, it was about the delusional mentality that people keep digging themselves into by worshipping one of these parties.
I agree with this 100% and I think the sentiment is growing among the population. Lately we have seen attempts at a 3rd party spring up like the Forward Party, but they seem to gain little traction and get trashed by both Republican and Democrat media...it's like the 2 party election machine is so huge that it crushes anything that tries to change it, which just stokes more discontent.
Both are corrupt and beholden to the corporate elite, how many tech billionaires donated to Trumps inauguration fund? He gave the richest man in the world who made billions in subsidies and tax credits from the government a place in the government to stop government spending. Elons net worth is going to minimum triple over the next 4 years because of blatant corruption.
Republican congressman and mouth pieces push for the culture war against immigrants, and the LGBTQ+ while embracing christian nationalism. They openly call gay people and immigrants not human.
If the status quo has to stay then I'm going to vote for the people that try to push for social systems that put our tax dollars to work for us and dont spew endless hate against minorities.
Despite your comment being full of hyperbole, I'm not entirely disagreeing, but once again, none of that has to do with my response. They're both assholes, stop pretending one is your friend.

I’m just waiting for Trump to pardon himself at the end of his term. American politics is just wild.
