The only reason a political party exists is to try to gain power. The important thing is how easily it can be checked. And if you look at Morsi's rule, you will see that most of the really bad things he tried to do were blocked. He dropped the charges against Yusef, he didn't actually end up passing the protest law, he didn't keep the powers he took in the November declaration, he didn't have his political enemies gunned down in the streets by the thousands. <br /><br />You can say that doesn't mean Morsi was a better person and I reply that is the point. An elected president with an independent judiciary, limited control over armed forces and a free press is limited in what he can do. A military junta like Sisi's like full control over everything is much freer to oppress and thus is actually doing all the things Morsi just wanted to. No more Bassem Yousef, no more free press, military trials for civilians, people shot to death in the thousands in broad daylight. Jun 30 was worse than being merely a crime, it was a historical mistake. Now the liberals get to be arrested and tortured by the exact same army they worked so hard to bring into power because they wanted to arrest and kill the Muslim Brotherhood they couldn't defeat in 5 straight elections. Egypt is a joke.

The NSF, the MB, etc. seem all to be affected by this mindset. It is like dissenting parties are viewed as being so suspicious and dangerous that they are irrevocably contaminated and arguments are frequently made for their physical liquidation. The military and its supporters, however, exemplify a version of it on steroids, hence why they only can create dictatorship and oppression.

Who was it again who tried to coast to power on the backs of the military because they can't organize well enough to compete in an election? Where were all these human rights revolutionaries when the government was massacring people? Oh that's right, cheering. You people made this catastrophe. The real karma is when people like April 6 are arrested and tortured by the same goons they unleashed on the MB. I have no more use for Egypt's useless revolutionaries.
