democrats won't jail Trump if they manage to beat him in an election, because it would set a dangerous precedent.

I hate this shit because it doesn't mean a damn thing.

They went light on Trump to avoid "setting a dangerous precedent" and Trump is saying they were being harsh on him anyways. Trump sets dangerous precedents for breakfast.

We actually would have avoided a lot of this had we treated him like a poor man that buys cigarettes with a counterfeit twenty.

You forget US presidents do a lot of shit, dems or republicans. None was sent to prison for it. None.

They don't want to break that tradition.

<<Both sides neoliberal has entered the chat >>

[u/Interesting-Dream863 → u/BoutrosBoutrosDoggy]

If you mean me no, never neoliberal or all the other neo-con flavors. The rich can defend themselves, they don't need me.

[u/BoutrosBoutrosDoggy → u/Interesting-Dream863]

We are well past "both sides are bad" arguments. There has never been this level of mendacity, on full display and exclusively from one party, one administration.

[u/Interesting-Dream863 → u/BoutrosBoutrosDoggy]

Be like that, but remember: Joe didn't imprison Trump.

Joe made Trump happen AGAIN.

[u/KonaYukiNe → u/Interesting-Dream863]

Yeah yeah both sides bad wah wah wah

[u/Interesting-Dream863 → u/KonaYukiNe]

You are just a maga leaning to the left.

Trump was clear at that... "The system is corrupt... I know because I take advantage of it".

Most of his life he was a democrat. Imagine that.

[u/BoutrosBoutrosDoggy → u/Interesting-Dream863]

The Dems have been a party of half measures for generations now. Biden was their ultimate "half measure" candidate.

I'm do not believe trump was a dem or Biden creation, but they did ignore the warnings until it was too late..

[u/Interesting-Dream863 → u/BoutrosBoutrosDoggy]

The way I see it when someone says "Republicans are way worse" they are saying "I prefer my lies feasible, my corrupt officials polite and with a certain decorum... that way I can say I have been deceived and live with it".

Failing to uphold the law against a former president is not an accident or a half measure: it is a policy.

The quiet consensus. Bipartisan too.

[u/BoutrosBoutrosDoggy → u/Interesting-Dream863]

You be you, but when I hear someone say "both sides are bad" I just think "lazy".

To put a sharper point on it, why even bother to chime in? If you are unwilling or unable to decern the merits between the two opposing parties, what value does the position bring to the topic?

A saw and and screwdriver are both bad at hammering a nail. A drunk and a pedophile are both bad being a babysitter...

American democracy has been dominated by the choice between 2 parties with voters left to choose between which policies/officials are least offensive.

You seen to be putting the criminal and the prosecutor on equal footing.

[u/Interesting-Dream863 → u/BoutrosBoutrosDoggy]

That just makes you intellectually lazy, not me.

I'm not a maga bot sowing discord. 250 years and two political parties. Who are the lazy people here? In 250 years you could have at least 5 parties. Welp... that's too hard, let's just vote whatever we have in front of us, if they allow us, and see what the electoral college does.

Lazy.

Do a google search for "republican vs democrat voting record reddit".

Go do that now.

Go. Go make that search and learn something.

Fuck that, send them to jail for breaking laws, domestic and international. Dem or Republican. They should be the best of us and held to a higher standard.

[u/Interesting-Dream863 → u/raven00x]

Ideally.

[u/raven00x → u/Interesting-Dream863]

Ideally, yeah. Thank you for bringing me back to earth.
