Well, are they wrong?
- ncmncm 4y agoGood point. But if democracy were not important, would they put so much work into undermining it?
- moistly 4y agoShort answer: Yes. Long answer: In order to obtain power? Hell yes! I should note, lest anyone think I’m taking sides, that it is not overly difficult to follow US news closely enough to know that there are cheaters and creeps of all sorts trying to subvert elections and the law. It’s a rainbow of representation. All sorts of jerks are breaking and bending all sorts of laws and norms. All y’all need an apolitical electoral commission, like Australia or Canada (and probably others) have. Heck, invite them over to run the next federal election.
- ncmncm 4y agoThat would seem to make democracy pretty important, then.
- themitigating 4y agoYou think both sides are equally at fault? how is that possible considering the number of people and actions on both political sides?
- ncmncm 4y agoPeople on both sides are at fault. That does not imply "equally".
- themitigating 4y agoThat's always the case, so you choose the best of the two options
- ncmncm 4y agoThis is not about choosing. It is about prosecuting. If one side commits more and worse crimes, they should get more prosecutions and stiffer sentences.
- moistly 4y agoDid I say they are equally ar fault? No. I said you can dig up scum of all stripes. Politicians, brain-washed groupies, social activists pro- and con-, the wilfully criminal who shed ethics for pay, and on and on. The problem is bigger than your myopic political bias, and its solution requires more than taking sides: it requires full prosecution of anyone engaged in unlawful shenanigans.
