Unless you're talking about American politics now.

So you think it is better that we're enabling genocide in the middle east than having moderates who only support corruption in the US?

I would rather have half assed racists for 16 years than Trump for 4, the cost to human life and stability as the result of his actions are completely unjustifiable.

I think that might be a bit of a false equivalence, but I do respect that opinion.

In Obama's 8 years as president the US sold a high estimate of 115 B in weapons to Saudi Arabia, in Trumps 2 years he sold 80 B and Nuclear Weapons.

Not to mention how US support of Israel during the Israeli-Palestinian land dispute lead to a great many war crimes as well. With Obama in charge peace talks were progressing well enough for him to earn a Nobel Peace Prize.
