Uh first I made the comparison because the above person did.
Second, these are the to largest economies and two most politically powerful countries. It’s natural to compare them and people do it all the time.
To your first point my post applies to both of you. To your second point, it’s only natural to compare the too largest economic powers in terms of economics. Thirdly, a comparison to China is typically used as a distraction to downplay the importance of eliminating executions which also undermines your third point and my whole reason for posting.
I’m opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances. I’m not trying to excuse the USA’s horrendous system of dealing with crime which is among the worst in the world.
It just so happens that China’s is also among the worst in the world so they naturally get discussed together. The proper response is to condemn both of them but nationalistic morons have a hard time with this.
