Those people did not die due to bad weather. They were killed as a deliberately chosen consequence of bipartisan US policy.
OTOH, if you think this means that the USA should remain in Afghanistan, then you havenât learnt a fucking thing.
I left BB for the sake of keeping my own anger levels in check, but comment threads like this:
âŚsorely tempt me to go and post a dozen links to stories of Biden and assorted state-level Democrats massively increasing police funding and militarisation.
White supremacy is bipartisan. Moral culpability for white supremacy is bipartisan.
Reluctantly voting for Dems as a defensive measure? Often justifiable. Actively stanning [1] the Dems while not doing anything meaningful to alter the status quo? Not justifiable.
.
[1] In this context, anything less than âthese people are despicable scum and their power needs to be destroyed ASAP for the sake of all humanityâ = stanning.
âŚand now theyâre talking about dogs and guns again. Same as every time.
The US Covid response did not become a megadeath catastrophe because Trump was incompetent.
