    Yeah, those were also a problem. People also treated those as a problem. Obama hasn’t been in office for a decade though, so it would be really weird to be litigating that right now.

      well you see this here whataboutism, relating a current topic to one of obama, is about liberals… not about deflecting criticism of Trump and Hegseth

      yep, this here is a useful and relevant topic from certainly a real fellow leftist

        Not gonna bother to write this again.

        It does, because there’s a clear lesson to be learned from liberal flipflopping regarding the morality (or I suppose tolerability would be a better word) of whatever the evil thing du jour is: Just because liberals situationally agree with you, it doesn’t make them any less anti-worker. Leftists helping liberals beat a common enemy and then getting the boot after they stop being useful is a tale as old as time, so it’s important to remember what these people actually stand for. This is why so-called “unity” with liberals is such a ridiculous idea.

        And BTW I totes am a Russian propaganda bot here to destroy the currently thriving American democracy.

      People also treated those as a problem.

      Citations needed. And remember this meme is about liberals, not “people” in general.

        I was a liberal up until a few years ago. Everyone that I knew, including myself, that had an opinion on Obama’s drone strikes also thought they were the worst thing he did as president and condemned them. I think you just have selective memory and only remember the liberals that continued cheering him on.

    “I treat politics like a team sport, therefore left-leaning anericans must also do this”

    Seriously? This /c/ is fucking garbage.

    The Obama admin enabled a lot of the stuff that is happening today either through keeping programs running or actively establishing or growing the program, which is behaviour that is reprehensible but expected from lawmakers who answer to industry and love power.

      I miss all previous presidents I have experienced prior to now and even Bush would be an improvement versus what we have literally now. They’re all directly at fault for the present situation in some way.

    Do commenters here actually think MAGA can be concerned with logic and rational argument?

    Nooooo it’s different those brown people we call terrorists and execute at will deserved it! /S

    That said, pretending there’s not much of a difference between a predator drone blowing up a wedding and treating schoolchildren as acceptable loses and a fascist deliberately killing people in the water is…

    Oh, no wait, those things are both evil.
