    Tim Walz, her running mate, sent the national guard in to attack BLM protesters. This is a problem with both parties.

        ‘Stop repeating unflattering facts about Democrats! 😭’

        If you only oppose authoritarianism under Republicans, you don’t oppose fascism. You just prefer a flavor of it.

          Or maybe you should tell the entire story about how he realized he fucked up, formally apologized, and made good with the organization.

          Seems like the opposite of a red flag to me. When is the last time we had a competent leader who was willing to admit it when they’re wrong?

            LoL. ‘It’s just a little ol’ military crackdown! Nobody’s perfect! He said he was sorry!!’

            You’re welcome to forgive him, but it’s still disqualifying. You don’t give someone a second chance to repeat their mistakes, when that mistake was an authoritarian military crackdown on the people they were charged with protecting.

              Nobody can ever change their mind about anything, but also Republicans are the worst because they never change their minds about anything!

                People can change. That doesn’t mean they’re entitled to a position of power after they have earned a reputation for abusing power.

        Ah the classic alienate the other side of the population to further the divide. It’s almost like these political escapades are by design to divide the nation.
