Maybe you should go back to school and learn a little more about politics. Seriously, I learned about checks and balances from a talking animated piece of parchment in like 2nd grade.

I learned that too. But that doesn’t shield t our right wing president from criticism. Clearly the system is broken.

our right wing president

He’s right-wing only in the sense that American politics is so far right compared to other industrialized countries that even the left-wing is right-wing in comparison.

Compared to America’s right-wing (aka fascists, aka Republicans (the party, not everyday people, though many of them too)), he’s basically Jesus.

But that doesn’t shield our … president from criticism.

Agreed, but criticizing him for stuff he’s not guilty of only degrades the credibility of actual legit criticisms. It’s the boy who cried wolf.

Clearly the system is broken.

On that we can agree.

 


Edit: Reformatted for clarity.

So since we agree, then condescending to me wasn’t exactly called for, now was it?

If you agree that student loans should be categorically forgiven, then I agree.

And I never suggested not voting for him, but he’s not a good person. He’s got my friends and loved ones detained and/or deported. Don’t get me wrong, I’d vote for him over Republicans, but it really fucking sucks that that’s our choice, and it’s not a reasonable request for me to not criticize his absolute dogshit pro-capitalist worldview.
