• “Both sides are just as bad!” is the bullshit that got us the George W. Bush administration and the Iraq War.

      Yet Obama did nothing to hold Bush Jr and his administration accountable for their crimes

        “we tortured some folks” what? That doesn’t qualify as holding accountable? /s because it’s sadly needed.

      I am taking the moral route and telling you to abandon the genocidal empire, both parties are monstrous and we either need to vote them out or revolt.

      “Both sides are just as bad!” is the bullshit

      It’s not that they are identical, it’s that delineating between the Hitlerites and the Strasserites just isn’t very meaningful compared to the understanding that they are wings of the same monstrous entity that needs to be destroyed. You don’t even need to Obamas embracing Bush and saying “same values” to see that, but seeing that makes denial inexcusable.
