Abraham Lincoln didn’t free the slaves Slaves fought for their rights and freed themselves.

Stop giving that guy all the credit for signing the Emancipation Proclamation, especially since he ordered the biggest mass execution against indigenous people in history.

Trump is a convicted felon and should’ve been disqualified from the election.

    Clinton bombed a medicine factory based on weak/nonexistent evidence it was making nerve gas.

    Obama used drone strikes ten time more than Bush, to the point he felt comfortable making a joke about drone striking the Jonas Brothers.

    I’m not trying to “both sides” this. The two sides are not equal. But this type of post, that tries to pretend one side has no scandals, only makes the other side stronger. People see things like this and dig their heels in. They (justifiably) criticize things like this for not being impartial, and dismiss the people posting them as untrustworthy/unreliable.

    We shouldn’t be playing these games. If you want to take them down, steelman them, and show that even at their best, they’re worse.
