Whenever I talk to any Democrat supporters, they by-default cheer their Presidents and then I’ve to remind them of their leader’s illegal wars and war crimes. They condemn those acts and they go back to their cheerleading role - Why do they keep forgetting atrocities committed by their leaders? Why do they accept war criminals as their leader?
I’m not saying we forget I’m saying every time someone criticizes trump , someone jumps in and says "yeah but Biden this. Or Obama that. "
I am not saying they were perfect people or those criticisms aren’t valid. But they are not what we need to focus on.
Now if instead someone is running for office and someone says “this is what they have voted for in the past”. - then yeah. That’s valid right now.
That’s not what-aboutism. That’s considering a person’s history for deciding if they should be in office in the future.
This sort of conversation is important. Like Gavin newsome. He has a long history of support for Israel and billionaires. We need to talk about that.
We don’t need to constantly hear about poor decisions previous people in office made who aren’t in seats and can’t run.
Unless you are interested in political history.
We all have limits with information and attention. I prefer to focus on the present and trying not to repeat mistakes. Work on fixing current problems and future problems being caused by the current administration decisions being made.
