 You sound like you know what you're talking about....if I only read the Huffington Post everyday. 

Democrats always worried about issues that happened in the past and lacking a focus on the future. 

And they call themselves "progressive". 

Trying to convince people Iran is about "human rights" 

Trying to convince people the U.S. is the problem in the world 

Asking for the United State's help in all their attacks from ISIS 

Talking about punishing a country that makes mistakes, and rewarding a country that believes women are slaves 

Democrats. It was cute in the 90s. But it's not working anymore....

Yes my dear lets ignore the fact that genocide has been commited over the past 50 years. The lives there don't matter, it's all in the past.

I specifically wrote that Iran has a lot of human rights issues. You wanted a comparison and I gave it. You are choosing to ignore all the facts that were given to you. 

The reason IS exists is because of the US, don't forget that. The last republican president destabilized the ME and is responsible for the death of millions in the ME. 

"Mistakes" lol, I won't even bother and no they don't see women as slaves in Iran.

Anyway, enjoy you delusion.

All I can say is that you are misinformed and you should look more into FACTS and less into political rhetoric. 

I also think you need to rip the thought process out of your mind that the United States (a country that has stabilized the world and been an exceptional nation) is at fault for ISIS. Yes...there are unintended consequences because Obama withdrew supervision far too early with no specific plan to preserve protection. (Partially because he ignored the advice of every military leader in his first term). But to suggest the United States of America is at fault in ANY WAY for a terrorist regime that wants to kill innocent people is THE REAL DELUSION. 

Perhaps Israel has been an imperfect nation. Perhaps Israel needs to change their ways. But they are not the imminent threat to the United States at this very moment....the country that keeps this world out of harms way. The country that has been for the most part the good guy to every innocent people in the world. 

Going towards the future, the United States will not tolerate such delusional and disrespectful slander, tainting it's image for the success of a political ideal that destroys, disenfranchises, and separates people. 

Without the United States, this world would be a dark place. And people should start to thank us for that before they want to **** talk us and then ask for us to come in on every ****ing problem THEY created and fix it for them.

I can't think of better solutions to deal with those -censored- Oh wait...

  Reveal hidden contents

NUCLEAR

 

And kill millions of people? That is not a solution, but would be a big, mother****ing problem that is very shortsighted and damaging to foreign relations to the point of no return. Please, try to think and be empathetic to the millions of families living in Iran before spewing hate like this.

Not all republicans are the same....there are more options and sub branches. But democrats are far more idealist. So their core structure tends to be the same. Big government. Political elitism. Claim to represent minorities to control them. Etc. 

Yes...there may be a few independent democrats. But their party has become so structured and politically correct it inhibits their ability to find different solutions to their problems. 

I think this is further evident when you see only 3 white career politicians running as democrats. Ironically republicans are offering more diversity: 3 business people, a Neuro Surgeon, a pastor, a woman, a black man, a Latino man, governors, senators, libertarians, establishment reps, and a technology CEO.

Republicans don't put these barriers on themselves as much as they did in the 80s, 90s, 00s. 

Democrats didn't in the 80s, 90s, 00s and it's why they built up power again. Now that the party is becoming so rigid, it will have a breaking point. 

I don't want to get into yall political arguments but I just want to say that the democratic candidates are indeed diverse because Hillary is obviously a woman and Bernie is Jewish, making him the first Jewish president (note that it is an ethnicity like latinx as well as a religion), in fact the first to be from any faith other than Christianity or Unitarianism. He would also be the first president of Polish nationality. Just because a person looks like a typical white man doesn't mean he isn't diverse or a minority   Not that it's super hard to be diverse when literally every other president has been a Jesus-lovin old white dude

We have the weakest president in recent history. Watch this backfire. Iran is home base to the largest terrorist network in the world, ISIS, who have effectively been using cyber warfare to rob middle eastern banks to gain power. 

So Obama decides to drop 1.7 billion in their banks NOW? 

I guess it was ISIS's annual allowance. 

Sorry but what? Iran is against ISIS , Iran is a shia country... so what do you mean by that?

I do think peace is the goal. But this president assumes declaring peace, or throwing money at an issue will just make that happen. 

That is looking at it from a civilized point of view. A very western approach. Normally, if you pay someone back, or give them something it will shut them up for a while. 

But this president does not understand that diplomacy and kindness are innefective with this kind of threat. This is not an enemy you can barter with because they are not fighting for a material thing like land, money, or power. They are fighting for an extreme religious belief. 

We could throw a trillion dollars at them. We could even let them take over Israel. But that's not ever going to be enough. ISIS does not believe in coming to a resolution that would make both sides happy. They believe we should die because we are infidels....sinners...the bad guy. They won't be happy until all things outside of their ideal is destroyed. 

That is not peace. And Obama sending tiny messages by handing them money does not "create peace". It gives them ammo. It builds their confidence that we are an easy target, and it weakens our Allie's hope for real world peace. 

If you don't want a behavior, you don't reward it. If you do want a behavior, you reward it. 

Why are rewarding countries with bad behavior (Iran) and ignoring the countries that want to coexist and actually exemplify diplomacy and peace?

I am sorry but why do you equate Iran and ISIS please? This does not make sense! 

And yes Iran is civilized in many ways maybe different from what western countries estimate as civilized. You don't seem to know much about that country and I find it quite ironic that you depict them as thirsty for blood when most of the wars they fought were defensive ones, just look at the role the USA played in the Iran-Iraq war.. and Iran is the bad guy? 

Btw I am not sure who said it (I don't think it was you) but Iran is not an Arab country...

I honestly think we should forbid politics on this forum because everyone is so set in their ways and can't see the other person's side in the argument. I say that acknowledging the fact I will never understand a Republican in my life.
