    Remember when this guy drank the water at Flint, too bad you can’t drone strike lead pipes

        What do you mean? I just don’t comment on Republicans because threats of violence get removed

        Also there was more aggressive pro-democrat posters, so it usually escalates when I do stuff like pointing out that Obama is a warmonger just like every other US politician.

            I don’t think you understand the nature of my critique. Republicans suck ass, and it enrages me that democrats will only pretend to oppose wars when it’s Republicans in power

              To stop this citizen’s united, the electoral college, FPtP, and winner takes all need to go. But getting your average American to talk about civics and constitutional law is like teaching a raccoon to type.

              It is NOT okay to exclusively criticize Democrats and then claim you’re not a Republican. That’s called lying, and lying is bad.

                It’s not lying, our two party system means you focus on the one that is closer to you. Why would I waste my breath trying to tell Republicans that bigotry is wrong, when I can instead pressure Democrats to do more about bigotry?

                    You’re fucked in the head if you think everyone that disagrees with you is an abuser. Democrats can do better, and putting that energy into the world is a good thing.

                    You’re a partisan hack that cares more about winning points than helping people.

          Must not have a very good grasp of your opinions if you can’t talk about the opposition without threats of violence. Or you’re not playing in good faith and just trying to rile up people by pointing out the warmongering nature of the US instead of having a real point.

              I’d just like to point out that you accidentally admitted that Democrats are your opposition. And that is hilarious.

              I talk about Democrats all the time without threats of violence, what are you talking about?

              I love it when people accidentally tell on themselves.

                  An anarchist who can only talk intelligently against Democrats and only speaks in ‘threats of violence’ to republicans, meaning you can’t talk about them and only attack democrats and sees the Democrats as opposition and not republicans.

                  Seems legit.

                  Edit: just saw you’re on .ml, so yeah, you’re ‘an anarchist’ and hate democrats, no wonder you can’t speak against republicans LOL.

                    Like what do you want me to say about republicans? they’re pretty much always car brained, incapable of having a nuanced understanding of the world around them, misogynist, transphobic, jingoistic.

                    Many of these can also be said of some Democrats, but it’s far more the rule for republicans.

                    I get annoyed at democrats for their failure, because they pretend to be better.

      They fixed the pipes.

      President Barack Obama declared a federal state of emergency, authorizing additional help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.[13]

        I’m mostly poking fun at the devil’s milkshake photo op he did- as a platform to jab at the foreign policy elephant in the room. it was theatrics of that whole thing which just came off as Obama showing up to tell people to shut up
