Elections 2024 / Re: Barr: I’ll Vote for Trump Because Continuing Biden Is ‘National Suicide’
« Last post by Maj. Bill Martin on Today at 04:57:57 pm »This is partisan thinking at its worst. "Oh, I don't care if Trump shoots a guy on Fifth Avenue. He has an R next to his name, so he can't be worse than the Democrat!"
He is. And quite frankly, the clown show in the House of Representatives shows they all are.
I am so bleeping sick of partisanism.
Maybe there are milder forms of partisanship that are fine, but what has happened now is that a great many people reflexively defend/support statements or actions solely because someone on "our side" did or did it, and they oppose criticize something solely because it has been supported by the "other side".
So they'll oppose aid to Ukraine solely because Biden supports it. Or they'll oppose any more funds to Ukraine because Trump does, only until the moment Trump decides that forgiveable loans are fine, at which point they'll flip their position without batting an eye.
We should support or oppose actions, and defend or criticize statements, based not upon who did or said it, but upon the substance. And that seems to have been lost by many, especially the die-hard MAGA types.
