    You mean the genocide that Harris said that she was going to support?

    It’s always amazing to me that Democrats get mad at people who couldn’t stomach voting for genocide, instead of getting mad at the people who ran a pro-genocide campaign.

      Also apparently leftists have to temper our criticism of a genocide by mentioning that Trump is always somehow worse despite there being no evidence that it is materially any worse under him - that’s literally a counterfactual - but somehow this person gets to criticise us for mentioning a genocide without acknowledging that it is actually a genocide.

      It’s genocide denial, but they’re not denying it’s happening, they’re just denying that it’s worth talking about, which is maybe worse?

        I always read it as “It’s not a big deal, as long as it’s my team doing it”. See also: Sending immigrants to torture prisons, rape, caring about corporations more than people, suppressing the working class, war, etc.

      Well, enjoy the textbook ethnic cleansing that was announced. On top of the continued genocide. Good job!

        I will not, as I voted against it, which is more than the Democrats can say

          Was there a candidate that was against it? There were two options: genocide and turbo genocide. A vote “against it” (third party) is a vote that helped the winner.

            There was a candidate against it. If you’d had paid attention at the time, you would have noticed that. Also, voting against something is actually the opposite of voting for it.
