  The attacks used to not be so personal. It was better up until Clinton. I think the whole Monica Lewinsky thing was an extreme personal assault. Once it went there, it just got more personal and directed. John McCain ran a campaign that was not a personal assault on Obama. I think he remembers and was a product of a better time in American politics.
context: Ukraine won't negotiate until it gets back all of its territories, and the Russians don't see Ukraine as a legitimate state. Diplomacy between the two is impossible. >
  
  Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994, in which Russia guaranteed to respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
  Until Russia complies with that document which it signed in 1994, its signature on a new 'peace treaty' document is worthless. >
  
  You neglected to mention the most important aspect of that memorandum: UKRAINE GAVE UP THEIR NUKES IN RETURN FOR A PEACE GUARANTEE FROM RUSSIA. 
  And Russia invaded anyway.  Absolute scum of the earth. They will die, rot, and fade into the lost abyss of history. And it’s all on Putin’s hands. >
  
  What’s crazy to me is propaganda coming from our own country.  Turn on fox for a night. It’s praising Putin 24/7.  Fucking insane what conservatives are tuning into. >
  
  
  Fucking insane what conservatives are tuning into.
  
  Nah, they're just finally coming into the light and exposing what they've always been. >
  
  Republicans used to just be a counter argument and could argue well. They have chosen a path of extreme polarization. If you label them like this, it doesn’t help the situation. We all need to get back to arguing points of contention and not attacking each other. >
  
  I’ve been voting for 20yrs. What is this magical time you think you’re speaking of? 
  When did we not attack each other?
