        ‘Wouldn’t you have preferred the genocide with mock pearl clutching instead of glee’

        No not really.

        ‘Wouldn’t you prefer a DNC and democratic establishment that believes it can win elections with genocidal conservative candidates that ignore the left wing of the party’

        Also no.

          So you actively campaigned for more of it. Sounds like you fucked yourself. Is that so hard to understand?

            When did I do that? Show me on the doll.

            Funny how you can only win arguments against your imaginary friends.

            “see, by saying anything bad at all about genocide, you’re actually at fault for genocide!” - people who demand silent acquiescence to the genocidal.

        Maybe all genocides are bad. Is that difficult to understand for some reason?

              Because it means you at least tried to mitigate the harm. Most people who took that stance said that people shouldn’t bother voting at all because voting for either was supporting genocide.

                No, that only exists in your head because you are a crazed rabid party zombie. Normal human being progressives think genocide is bad. It’s really fucking weird that you don’t.

                  Says the judgemental accusation throwing nut job. I’m a socialist with no love for the Democrats, only people who actually care about making things better.

                  Where did I ever imply in my comment that I think genocide is good? I merely explained that many people used the “both sides support genocide” as an argument for not voting or voting for Trump. Just like the weirdos who voted for Trump instead of Hillary in 2016 because actively supporting that dumpster-fire was somehow the best choice in their mind after Bernie got shafted by the Dems in the primary. Or the “both sides” centrism that’s actually just conservatism in a mask.

                  It was a campaign to sow voter disenfranchisement into progressives. And it worked. I saw it online, and I saw it in real life. That’s why they asked you who you voted for. Because actual people decided that the best course of action when forced to choose between genocide and genocide with an extra side of evil was to throw a tantrum, vote for neither and let somebody else choose which of the two would run the country, and then shame anybody who did vote for Harris for voting for genocide.
