      Which war over the last 50 years that the US has been involved in have been started by a Democrat? (Hint: zero)

          I think you should engage in better political analysis than saying that Republicans start more wars because Democrats are the ones who started WW2 and The Mexican-American war. I just don’t really see the value in that. You should instead argue that modern wars, while usually started by Republicans, tended to have large political consensus on both the Democratic and Republican sides.

            …in what kind of fucked up reality do you live in if you think the US started world war 2?

              It’s uh, from the link I was replying to. By start, it really means choose to engage in. I don’t think the US started WW2 but a democrat is who got us involved in it.

                    I misread your comment, didn’t see the guy you responded to because I blocked him earlier. You’re completely correct.

                    My bad, I’m sorry.

          Yes I don’t think wars from 100 years ago are relevant to the discussion, since everyone involved from them are dead now.
