After winning the Nobel peace prize, he dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia. Began a campaign of drone assassinations in the Middle East and Africa, in which 90% of those killed were not the intended targets, but innocent civilian bystanders, including women, children, and US citizens. 1. Drone strikes are used by the military and the CIA to hunt down and kill people the Obama administration has deemed — through secretive processes, without indictment or trial — worthy of execution. He authorized 10 times more drone strikes than George W Bush, 2. The Obama assassination program is detailed in the drone papers. The US democrats are a vicious, brutal, genocidal party. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 1 year ago If not sooner or as soon as he distanced himself from Reverend Wright's words, let alone with quitting his church over them to become more powerful, we should have known. And it's easy to "sell our souls" by centimeters, of "not as bad," and I've certainly been guilty. It creeps up on us. It's hard to know exactly when that sudden, terrible decisive action needs be taken, but there is a point when not taking it is the worse crime against humanity. In thinking of the necessary terrible wars fought, I think of the Kali myth of going into battle to help her husband. She licked the blood from the ground not as an act of simple bloodlust, but because not doing that would mean a demon would have sprung from every drop spilled. What that looks like in a decisive war action is in need of serious and long discussion. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago Whats my party? Luckily I am not american and we have more than 2 parties. Democrats suck, as all conservatives do. They are still 10000x better than the literal fascists you have now. With Harris you would have at least a chance to get a better candidate in the future. Now you will not have elections anymore that could change things and if you could have voted but didnt vote for Harris it is your fault and you deserve it. permalink fedilink source parent
