    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.

          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.

        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.
