That's why he won two terms.

As a liberal who was a conservative Republican for the first 27 or so years of my life, I personally believe the left is better at introspection than the right is. Imagine if a respected Republican came out and strongly criticized the religious right. Do you think the broader GOP would tolerate that? I know they wouldn't.

I think this illustrates one of the key differences between conservatives and liberals and that is conservatives tend to see everything in black/white terms while liberals see shades of gray.

Just about every American president could be described as a mass murderer, as just about all of them presided over some military action in which hundreds or thousands were killed. Famously, Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Regan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, Obama, and Trump. All of them have been Commander-and-Chief while US military actions killed hundreds and even thousands of innocent civilians.

If Trump has broken my brain, at least I have an excuse. What's yours?

This has been going on for a while and a sizable chunk of the left doesn't like it either. Bill Maher has been on about it for over a year and usually has one or two guests who also point to it as a problem. The biggest problem is these twitter warriors who think that tweeting about something is the same as taking action about something. It's meaningless crap and their best hope is that it goes 'viral'. and someone else actually gets off their azz and does something.

Yeah sure, and I bet your 401k is invested in defense stocks. Does that make you complicit in Obama’s war crimes? Are you a “war criminal” too?

I'm thinking Obama might make a great Fox News Contributor.

What Obama said was basic common sense.

Obama kept america at war for his entire two terms. He dropped thousands of bombs on weddings, funerals, kid’s soccer games, hospitals, schools, people in their homes and walking their streets, shopping in their stores, farmers tilling their fields. He did this in seven different countries; Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan.
Why is his opinion relevant, important or something to seek out?

Mayor Pete may be the most balanced of the lot and he does not have much chance of securing the nomination ( this time).
Mayor Pete is up to 10% in the latest poll. He has $24,000,000 in campaign funds. Obviously, many voters like him well enough to give him a donation or two. I bet he does really well in Iowa, maybe even winning there. We shall see come Feb. 3.

Obama is an honorable man. He would never stoop that low.
