    Nuanced thinking is the problem? Nope. Black and white thinking is the problem. Like the black and white thinking you are displaying here, by refusing to parse any policy decisions beyond “he supports genocide”. If you can’t distinguish between the greater and the lesser evil you’ll end up inadvertently supporting the greater evil.

      But the thing is saying “Joe Biden is committing genocide” actively harms your own aims of electing Joe Biden, regardless of whatever your argument is.

      So the only rational decision is to stfu about it or start doing genocide apology or denial.

      Or you can have a moral spine I guess.

      I think the point these people are making here is that they’d like to not support evil at all and “but the other guy is worse” is the entirety of the fucking problem. Your mentality ensures this continues. You perpetuate this shit.
