This comment is funny because it further reinforces the point: Obama didn't start that war, and he was unable to cleanly exit it without leaving Afghanistan for the Taliban, which as we've seen has been disastrous for that country's girls and women.
There are exactly three choices in every general election:
-
The viable party.
-
The other viable party.
-
Not participating in the election at all.
You might think there are other options like write-ins, protest votes, or third parties. Unfortunately, those are all permutations of #3: nonparticipation.
Nobody here is saying they love Democrats. The party is about as popular as boiled cabbage at a chili competition. But when served with those three choices, participating in the election is important, which narrows it down to #1 or #2, and it's really not hard to choose between the GOP and the Democrats. The Democrats sent your brother to war. The Republicans started that war, sent way more people to it, killed more civilians, and made withdrawing impossible. The Democrats are also more likely to offer mental healthcare to your brother.
