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.
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.
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.

Okay, I’ve gone through my responses and can’t see it. Please point out where exactly I was condescending to you. If I was, then I apologize; that was not my intention.
If you agree that student loans should be categorically forgiven …
I do. Not by category, but completely across the board.
but he’s not a good person.
Agreed.
He’s got my friends and loved ones detained and/or deported.
I think that really sucks and I don’t blame you for being upset about it.

I agree that that non-choice choice is a shitty situation.
and it’s not a reasonable request for me to not criticize his absolute dogshit pro-capitalist worldview.
I never said you can’t criticize him. I’m not opposed to that. I’m opposed to criticizing him for stuff he didn’t do, like claiming he didn’t attempt the shit out of loan forgiveness without being subject to asshole Republicans blocking every goddamn thing he does if it goes against their tyrannical wants, like petulant children having a tantrum.
So can one political party do a significant amount of work to stop another from doing stuff or no? Democrats always complain about republicans keeping them from doing anything, but let republicans get away with taking away so many rights and committing so many atrocities. Checks and balances is supposed to go both ways, and democrats have never checked or balanced jack shit
I’m into it. Doesn’t need to make sense out of context in a 3 second clip. I’ll still go experience it. I’ve seen some pretty moving art installations that, taken as a 3 second clip out of context, would make a bunch of people on the internet go “art no make sense”.
I have to assume everything at my job has at least a little bit of poop on it. I’ve gotten incredibly good at using light switches and lever style door handles with my feet, but only when no one is looking.
