    the difference is they are polite and charismatic

    Well, and less genocide and human rights abuse, as even the person I replied to could admit.

      i don’t see anyone admitting to anything, just you being insistent. your country has been genociding and abusing human rights for decades under democrats and republicans pretty much equally. i can’t think of a single recent us president that wasn’t a war criminal.

      can you?

        That doesn’t make all war criminals equal. Two things can both be morally reprehensible and one still a clear advantage over the other.
