    Bullshit posts like that are a perfect example.


    South Korea: tested immediately and often.

    USA: didn't want to test

    Both: first case on same day

    If you want to prove your point, go ahead and post the deaths per capita of each country and where they are in their respective curves.

    If you want to prove you have courage, go ahead and post trumps comments about not wanting to test and why at that critical junction that separates SK and USA.

    If you cant, and you cant, keep your "both sides" nonsense to yourself. Because we know if obama effed up testing like this and the USA system was worst in the world at saving American lives we very much know the crap obama would be getting from Republicans

    Agreed. The both sides mantra is nonsense.

    It’s not. Wake up. I wasn’t referring to the link. I was referring to the post. It’s not just this situation. It’s years and years of back and forth that has poisoned one side against the other. When somebody fucks up, call them on it. This attitude that Democrats are somehow morally superior or have the road  map to utopia is idiotic.

    Don’t bother. For me, anyone that looks at either side and thinks everything is right or perfect from top to bottom, is probably insane. If you don’t disagree with anything on the side you lean towards, then that’s a huge problem.

    There is a world of difference between “don’t disagree with anything on the side you lean toward” and what people are actually saying on here, though.

    Not really. Most people here talk down to anyone who they assume support Trump just because they question certain things. I’ve never seen or heard any complaint here about anything on the left. Well, except all the venomous posts that got the debate thread shut down.

    Even though you keep saying that it doesn't make it true. Nobody is saying that the Democrats are perfect.

    What I'm saying is one side is a lot worse. If the handling of this hasn't made that abundantly clear, you my friend have been the one "drinking the kool-aid". Not to mention the idiocy of the last 4 years.

    The US donated PPE supplies all over the world.  Now we have a shortage and are having to purchase them back?

    More condescending remarks. I can only comment on what I’ve seen. I guess I have to read back 10 years of threads to be able to post my opinion here. What a ridiculous attitude.

    Listen, I’m around Trumpers nearly 100% irl. There’s a fucking billboard a mile from my house that has orange guys head on Ric Flairs body. I see and hear the dumb shit they push on a daily basis on my FB feed. You know who digs their hills in just as fiercely? 

    The moral superiority on both sides is disgusting. 

    Clearly Trump fucked this up. No amount of excuses from the ever revolving door will change that. Nobody here denies that. But how many times does the shit need repeated?

    I rarely post on any threads here, but I feel compelled to state that I think anyone questioning what standing another user has to comment probably needs to step away from the keyboard for a while. The coronavirus should also be a non-political issue, in my opinion. At times like this we should all try to give each other some extra leeway and not get mired in back-biting. I hope that everyone stays safe today and going forward.

    When he stops fucking up.

    Am I supposed to just ignore his continued lies to make people feel better? 

    He's getting people killed with his BS and I will continue to point that out.

    Exactly.

    Someone says, "they aren't the same, Democrats are better, here's the evidence" and Nick and dewie come running to twist the words into "Democrats are perfect" so they don't have to admit that they are wrong, the parties are not the same.

    I'm not saying that people can't comment - I think everyone has misread that. Sorry if i didn't express it well.

    I'm saying that if someone has only been reading what people have posted the last couple of weeks, then they shouldn't be making a judgement of what posters "always" say, because it's not accurate. People complaining that posters never say anything negative about Dems based on reading two weeks of posts about the current situation is ridiculous.

    I don't think it's out of line to call out a poster who is mischaracterizing other posters' opinions and stances based off a tiny sample of their posting history.  Everyone who's been here for a few years knows that "I’ve never seen or heard any complaint here about anything on the left." is absolutely false, and it's a bit ridiculous for someone new to posting to state it as fact.

    It’s not. Wake up. I wasn’t referring to the link. I was referring to the post. It’s not just this situation. It’s years and years of back and forth that has poisoned one side against the other. When somebody fucks up, call them on it. This attitude that Democrats are somehow morally superior or have the road  map to utopia is idiotic. 
    Don’t bother. For me, anyone that looks at either side and thinks everything is right or perfect from top to bottom, is probably insane. If you don’t disagree with anything on the side you lean towards, then that’s a huge problem. 
    Even though you keep saying that it doesn't make it true. Nobody is saying that the Democrats are perfect.

    What I'm saying is one side is a lot worse. If the handling of this hasn't made that abundantly clear, you my friend have been the one "drinking the kool-aid". Not to mention the idiocy of the last 4 years.
    Exactly.

    Someone says, "they aren't the same, Democrats are better, here's the evidence" and Nick and dewie come running to twist the words into "Democrats are perfect" so they don't have to admit that they are wrong, the parties are not the same.
    Yea dude. You caught me. 
    Red-handed.

    Hooray for them.  Make sure you vote that guy out of office after all this settles please.

    I know 2 Floridians posted on here and they've been doing their part so I salute you.  The Governor though?  Nah man.
