After Biden’s meltdown, the Democrats are hoping to reenergize people with a supposedly “progressive” pick for Kamala Harris’ running mate.

    Growing up I was told genocide was the most serious crime and we must ensure it never happens again.

    Now liberals are trying to do lesser-evil genocide.

    Personally, I think we should actually materially oppose it based on consistent principles. Perhaps liberals feel that Trump gives them the green light to be open, bloodthirsty genociders? I’m glad I don’t associate with them anymore.

      I don’t “side” with anyone. Genocide is bad. I’m still going to do what I have to for avoiding making everything exceptionally worse by further enabling obviously more psychotic behavior, until such time as a better realistic solution is made available.

        When Kamala was criticized for her Zionism during an ongoing genocide, your only reply was to insult the critic and go, “what about Trump?” Deflections like this are very common when someone doesn’t want to address a topic. Why don’t you want to address the topic of Kamala being a genocide supporter?

        Genocide is bad.

        Then why did you deflect when a public figure was criticized for supporting it? Wouldn’t the consistent thing to do be saying, “yeah you’re right”?

        So you are confirming exactly what I just said in my last comment. Lesser evilism support for genocide while telling yourself it isn’t. But when people who actually materially oppose it criticized the genocide-supporting candidate you’ve decided to support in the last two weeks, you deflected and insulted them.

        “Never again” except when it disagrees with vote shaming lesser evilism, eh?

          Quick hint, I never said Kamala good or that I’d vote for her.

          I am only being against Trump in my comments. You read in what you like. I’m just sick of the twats deciding to vote for Trump as some protest over Kamala/Biden Etc and was calling out the shit attack ad for what it was.

          Insult wasn’t deflecting, I did address the topic. Genocide bad, m’kay? The insult can stand alone if the person addressed to was going to vote Trump.
