I can't deal with US politics right now and this thread.

I'm fucking Canadian and people upvoting this both sides nonsense is getting my blood boiling.

I thought this enlightened centrist shit was over with but people are bringing it up like they're some next-level IQ genius. When in reality they're trying their to push people to the right (whether they understand it or not).

whether they understand it or not

If such a thing can be done without understanding, how do you know that you aren't the one who has been pushed to the right and that you aren't doing the work of dragging others along with you?

When is your country going to return the land they stole to its indigenous peoples? When is the US democratic party going to stop supporting the genocide of Palestine?

If its people not voting for the US democratic party, rather than either of the above issues that "gets your blood boiling", you might need to re-evaluate which side of the white supremacist line you're on.

So you probably dont even understand the full context of what you're talking about.

Arent there other countries political websites you can go bother people on? Try Australia, your fellow commonwealth country (sorry australians). Theres plenty of other places to be a touriust with strong opinions about other peoples governments.

Exactly this. They're trying to soften the blow for the party of Nazis

No, they're not alike at all

One of them is openly dehumanizing immigrants

ICE and deportations grew massively during Obama's presidency.

By the numbers: Under the Obama administration, total ICE deportations were above 385,000 each year in fiscal years 2009-2011, and hit a high of 409,849 in fiscal 2012. The numbers dropped to below 250,000 in fiscal years 2015 and 2016.
