The video which is being highlighted is then Vice President Joe Biden at his son Beau Bidens funeral. The boy is Joes grandson, whom he is trying to comfort because the boys father is in a casket.

I've seen this nasty bastard try and suggest there is something wrong with showing affection to your grandson at his father's funeral.

My immediate response is that I must storm in to Both Sides this as soon as possible. Maybe if I throw in a dig at Trump supporters, no one will notice.

Yeah, they're desperate alright.

It's impossible to play "lesser of two evils" when the Republican party has a problem with literal Nazis right now. Even if Biden were a pedophile, he'd still be less of a problem than groups of people who want to destroy or subjugate others based upon race, sex, orientation, trans status, religion, or group identification.

There's literally no good way to say that Democrats can or have done wrong because nuance has become a buzzword and "both sides" a dog whistle. I guess I'm just not supposed to mention it. I just need to keep my mouth shut for the greater good because admitting that both sides (omg, he said it!) are capable of wrongdoing is the same as saying that both sides are indistinguishable from one another.

The last thing I will ever do is keep my mouth shut for the greater good. If I'm attending somebody's funeral, I probably won't bring up the time that they cheated me out of $5. Other than that, I'm free to speak on things as they are -- not how you'd like them to be through a perfect little black and white lens.

There are a couple of assholes on the left. And if the fascists win, it won't because I failed to keep my mouth shut. If the battle for this nation's soul is to be decided on https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/, we should probably call England and tell them they can have their colony back. Or, better yet, let's give the land back to the descendants of the Native Americans from whom it was stolen.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I'm not defending these people. I'm not going to bat for Trump, DeSantis, or any other conservative politician.

I'm merely saying that, this isn't something that only Republicans do. If we have Republicans who never bathe and Democrats who sometimes go two days without a shower, that's not saying that Republicans and Democrats are the same. But if I catch someone on a day that they haven't taken a shower, I'm gonna call them out on their stink.

As for what I have to gain, it's more about what I have to lose. I'd rather argue and justify my opinion than keep my opinion to myself. I also didn't think I would open up a can of worms to lengthy multiple paragraph arguments simply by saying that other people have done similar things before.

Okay but like....you're weirdly desperate to equate some black humor that happened over 10 years ago (and apparently wasn't that widespread of a thing amongst Democrats; seriously, I don't remember what you're talking about) to an entire political party and their supporters trying to accuse their political opposition of pedophilia in the present day.

Like, you HAVE to realize why people don't think you're acting in good faith and shit like this is the primary reason people find centrists more obnoxious than anything else

I see that now that you and others have pointed it out. It didn't come across my mind when I posted it. I'm not wired to view every criticism as a direct attack upon the foundation of freedom and I find it paranoia to think that way.

I don't apologize for saying that others have done something shitty too because others have done something shitty too. There was nothing wrong with my statement or intent. And calling remarks against Sarah Palin's child black humor doesn't excuse it.

By the way, I have a problem with you saying "half of the nation." It's roughly 30% of this country that votes Republican. 30% votes Democrat. The rest don't vote, don't care to vote, can't vote, or have their right to vote suppressed. It's 30% of the nation that we're afraid of. And even among that 30%, they aren't all hive-minded. It isn't as if literally every Republican believes Joe Biden to be a pedophile.

Every Republican is a danger to this nation, but they vary in what they believe (or claim to believe) almost as much as Democrats do.

Fascists don't take over a government alone. There's also a lot of fence-sitting "centrists" who can't help but to validate right-wing talking points as if they are in any way reasonable.

The politicians can't act alone.
The Nazis can't act alone.
The rednecks can't act alone.
The ill-informed, undereducated "muh gas prices" class can't act alone.
The folks spamming racist memes on 4chan can't act alone.

The voices of hatred and ignorance call out for a champion and GameFAQs.GameSpot.com has answered, "I will be there to sway the nation under the guise of centrism."

The threat from fascism is very real, but political discussions on this website have as much impact on the fate of America as the Battle of Bagel Heights between Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam had on America winning the Revolutionary War.

But the shitty thing you're calling out happened so long that it's not even politically relevant. And they're not even in the same ballpark of severity. Not to say that either is justified or should be condoned, but you have to see why "both sides"ing this situation is inappropriate.

I didn't say half the nation, I said an entire political party. And it's true. Because sure, maybe not every Republican is spreading these false accusations or believes in them, but none of them are speaking out against them either, because "winning" is more important to them than honor and decency, and that means accepting the extremist rhetoric within their party if it helps get votes.

The absurdity of making a tasteless and unproven claim about "both sides" in a situation like this and then arguing that criticism of Democrats isn't allowed is insulting and pathetic.

People attack the Dems all the time, and rightly so. This isn't even close to an accurate belief that people don't tolerate such things. The real problem is you mindlessly tried to deflect and are now upset that you were called out on it.

No argument from me.

But I shouldn't have to keep quiet about something that's wrong just because it isn't the most extreme wrong that there is. If I see somebody pickpocketing a candy bar, I shouldn't have to be quiet about it because petty theft isn't as bad as Nazism. Or because Nazis will see us and say, "They're all a bunch of thieves."

I believe that housecleaning is a responsibility. If you have a group that you identify with, and you see others in your group doing wrong, you should call them out on it. As a Christian, it's my moral responsibility to call out Christians who use faith as a smokescreen for bigotry. The same applies to politics and whatever shortcomings one may find there. If I see someone pretending that their side can do no wrong, I have to remind them that isn't true. And if I keep my mouth shut, I become an accomplice to hypocrisy.

If there's one thing that both sides of the political fence truly have in common, it's the fear to criticize members of their own side for fear of giving strength to the enemy. Calling out a pickpocket on your own team isn't giving strength to the enemy. It's establishing moral integrity. It's saying that, as a group, we're supposed to be above that. That's the kind of integrity that Republicans mostly lack and all Democrats need.
