> Iran has murdered over 30,000 of its own citizens for peacefully protesting. The US has not done that, nor have we "shot down" our citizens. The US has incarcerated ~1.2 million people. Just the year, agents of the U.S. government executed two citizens in broad daylight caught by dozens of cameras, it was national news in both cases. You say Tomato I say Tomato.

  > Yea, 2 people killed in highly volatile situations Don't forget the other ICE shootings and killings like the citizen in Texas that they killed and covered up for more than a year and when it was finally exposed...nothing. And the other shootings where people didnt die. Of course it was never the ice agent at fault, everyone tryin' run'em over all a sudden -- until video shows agents use the dumbest excuses to shoot people. > Iran’s government literally ordered soldiers with machine guns to fire indiscriminately toward protestors That's not great, but are you really trying to lower the standard we have for the US to Iran levels of terrible? The US needs to stay out of other peoples business and focus on the US. America first, no foreign wars -- isn't that what was promised. We destroy our institutions and infrastructure investments that actually worked for the people here to re-allocate a couple billion dollars into corporate tax cuts cause "my tax dollars", then multiply that "savings" into spend by fighting Israel's war for them. This isn't the US bailing "out the rest of the world" here. This is the US bailing out ourselves from our own mess.

    The US is wasting time and resources in overseas conflicts, National security should be built on domestic strength, specifically by securing our power grid and reducing global oil dependence. We have the technology, tools, solar, wind, advanced battery storage, nuclear power and electric vehicles to make this happen. We have the wrong people in place to make this happen.

  So what? We have a lot of crazy people that live here. You certainly do. What I don't understand is why you keep voting for them.
