Just seems to me you're incredibly selective in what justifies absurd actions and what doesn't, like most libs are. Putin is a shitty right wing dictator, therefore we can use that to justify anything on the democratic side. Liberals were the people facilitating most wars in US history.
He isnt just a shitty right wing dictator. He acted illegally to subvert our electoral process to make sure Trump won. They actively tried to destroy our elections.
Congrats.
I'm not american dude. Hillary did the same to him in 2012. If you are going by the eye for an eye philosophy then everyone has crimes they gotta answer for.
If you were an actual voter you wouldn't be so flippant about Putin destroying our electoral process in 2016. This stuff happened right here in front of us. It happened to us. We can't be as flippant and just hand-wave it and pretend it didn't happen. We have to work to protect our electoral system and let Russia be clearly made aware that altering our elections is unacceptable.
Definitely not for me. I don't have an issue with that statement, and Tulsi is on the bottom of my list. Very bottom.
Well yeah. The general point being there is more to being an evil person with power than just assassinations of political opponents. I feel like to people like you, democracy is genuinely just a joke. Not a case of the people deciding who is the best person to serve for this office, just a popularity contest. You are so staggered by someone presenting an alternative position that you have to make light of them. Don't elect warmongers and people who imply they wanna commit atrocities on a global scale, look at your own history. What kind of human being would disagree with that general premise?
I think you're exaggerating. our electoral process wasn't destroyed. Trump is very popular with his republican base and Hillary underperformed.
I think people are looking at the wrong things. Comey, probably had a much more pronounced effect on the election than Facebook bots. And liberals have mostly moved on from being upset at him.
Who are they backing this time? The insane socialist who's gonna enact actual anarchy?
I tend to agree in principle but at the same time, I'm kinda glad Schwarzenegger can't run for president because there's a more than good chance he'd win.
Without the Comey letter we would have had a woman President 2 years ago.
Bernie is going to enact anarchy? Or socialism? How? With a senate that will either still be GOP controlled or barely Dem controlled where centrist Dem senators will be the swing voters on everything?
I will say that even in the first few days seeing him in "Beto mode" in Iowa makes me inclined to agree. He probably won't win the "Twitter war" for the ultra-progressives, but his ground game and GOTV is going to be formidable.
The sad thing is he is much better than the rest of his party because of his views on climate change
"I have the most progressive record of anybody running..."
100%, but the bar for the GOP is so low, only Barbados Slim could limbo under it
What's also obnoxious is the people who will (rightfully) call out the US for election interference in the past while saying the 2016 election interference was no big deal and is overblown (not saying you're doing this, btw, just in general).
I understood that reference
So why do you want people in power who have proven they have no problem with it? You honestly think Kamala Harris is gonna think twice about toppling a foreign regime?
I don't know that there's any proof that he really drove turnout more than any decent candidate would in Texas. Usually the Democrats don't put up a serious challenger. Beto wasn't a complete joke and everyone hates Cruz, so it isn't surprising that he did better than most Dems in Texas senate races.
Russia subverted our elections and you think merely responding to that with tough sanctions and treating Putin like the enemy he is = toppling regimes?
I'm pretty sure the president of the united states is in charge of the military and gets to have final say in any attacks carried out on foreign soil, and covert operations too. I don't think the MIC is gonna be attacking anyone unless the president agrees to it.
Bernie derangement syndrome effects people in different ways
Lol if you think Bernie won't be doing covert actions, drone strikes etc. he might use them LESS, in the best case scenario but no military actions at all would be pure insanity.
No shit. Still better than anyone else on the table. Can't even begin to imagine being a left winger and claiming Russia is doing irreparable damage to the most giant empire in existence.
Russia is actively trying to destroy our electoral process. Do you deny this fact?
Let me understand. Are you celebrating Russia's attacks on the US with this post?
No elections should be interfered with. It's a big deal to interfere with another country's elections and should be treated as such.
Put your soviet propaganda comparisons and your leftist dick away, please
There are millions of people in the middle east who hate your guts and want to see you in ashes. There is no reason to use that as a political tool.
No? Fuck Russia and everything about them. Can you stop using them as a political cudgel now?
Are we not supposed to take action to stop Russia from hacking and altering our elections?
Had no idea you got hired at the NSA. I can give you everything I have except porn. DM me.
