I’m glad we’re able to focus on what’s most important: Continuing to argue about the primary.

As the Democratic party attempts to peel itself off the floor,

I like Ellison, but the bottom line is we need to pick someone and 100% get behind him or her. I think all of us progressives are good people with good intentions, but we’re so goddamn fractured right now, while the republicans are marching in evil lockstep.

I don’t believe anyone is arguing that the US is innocent because we are far from innocent. The US barely has a moral high ground to stand on, but last I checked Russia and the former USSR outranked us in the fucked up department.

No it’s not. The comment is about the fact that Putin kills domestic dissidents. Median income in Russia is 23k. That’s what’s this is about. That gay people are beaten and jailed. That domestic violence is legal. That journalists are poisoned by the government. That’s not equivalent. The USA practices force abroad…

Trump is not stating this fact so that we can stop killing people. He is stupidly saying that it is fine that Putin does it, because we do too. Which is a dumb thing to say as the leader of our nation. Yes we do it, but we don’t do it like Russia. Median income in Russia is 23k per year. So really, no comparison.…

the point is not that the US is innocent but that he is not condemning that sort of behavior or ruling it out.

Kind of like how both Trump and Clinton were both bad, right?

Do you know what a motherfucking red herring is?

Wanna bet?

Honestly, going so far as to trash America to defend Putin is unprecedented. And it was off the cuff, which is even more confusing. Like he truly believes this false equivalence.

So you are under the impression that all American Presidents have ordered the murders of their rivals and pesky journalists? GTFO with your equivocating. Trump is excusing state-ordered unsanctioned murder, and you are nodding along. Shameful.

This utter inability to stop fighting this battle tells you all you need to know about him. Even another president in cahoots with Putin would publicly drop this and go along with the American line of hating the guy. His stubborn ass will. not. let. it. go. because he always has to be right.

Three things about your statement that may be true:

Umm, what??

Truthfully, no matter what happens, the neonazis get what they want. They avail themselves of laws too slow to keep up with technological changes to harass and threaten and then claim free speech as cover.

The Neo-Nazi’s got what they wanted. A violent group of leftists “supressing campus free speech.”

UGH. No cheers for Maine’s Susan Collins, folks. She does this to us every goddamned time. She could have ended this travesty in committee with a no vote, but nope, she went ahead and passed DeVos through to a full house vote where she will more than likely pass.

So did I.

I blame a lot of people, and yes, one of those people is Hillary Clinton. She wasn’t perfect by a long shot—but let’s keep reminding ourselves that none of the candidates were. But Clinton’s done running for president, and third party voters aren’t done voting. And, again, clearly they need to be reminded what…
