      How is it a strawman? Liberals will and do vote for a party operating the foreign child crusher, if that party has more decorum and civility that the other party that would operate the foreign child crusher

      Here’s the non strawman version of the top panel:

      “I will operate the foreign child crusher in a way which will perhaps lead to less foreign children being crushed. What’s that? Dismantle the child crusher? This is not politically feasible you should be more reasonable.”

      It really needs to have the panels expanded. Each panel should also have a “domestic child crushing machine” and the D one would not be going and the R would be crushing away.

      That’s way more accurate to the real world.

        The dems are also running a domestic child crusher. You people just don’t notice or care until a republican is in charge.

          Look I’m not saying Dems are awesome, in fact I would say when it comes to foreign policy them and Republicans are pretty aligned. Behaving like there hasn’t been huge differences in policy, legislation, enforcement priorities, regulation, education and healthcare spending between Democratic and Republican majorities in Congress and/or President is insane though. Like just head in the sand ignoring reality levels of crazy.

            Sweet. Ableism. Funny how you types resort to it so easily.

            Behaving like there is some huge difference between them is what is “head in the sand crazy.” The reasons for this observation have been listed throughout this thread, yet oddly enough none of you people manage to engage with any of the many comments giving explicit examples, nor do you manage to engage with any of the comments detailing the worldview. Which is odd. Its almost like you’re just here to argue and dont actually care about this at all.
            Or maybe you just can’t handle investigating your own ideology or the faulty notions you hold.
