    I don’t think anyone is denying the atrocities. Or at least none that I’ve seen-

    But what I AM seeing is a lot of people that understand the nuance in the situation, and trying to explain that not voting is going to get Trump. I also see people coming back to challenge this in bad faith knowing it’s been explained to them many times over.

    But we’re not allowed to call these people what they are. So we have to play along with it and pretend it’s all legitimate.

      The only reason you feel you have to pretend that it’s legitimate is because it’s true on face-value: democrats have chosen a losing position and are going to lose because of it. Rather than pledging fealty before we need to it’s far more important to work to get democrats to ammend their policy

      Wishing people would ignore the issue and hold their nose isn’t a strategy to keep Trump out, it’s denial

      “Contrary to allegations against Israel made by the International Court of Justice, what’s happening is not genocide.” - Joe Biden.

        Jesus fucking Christ man. Read for the topic, now for what you want it to mean…

        No one was talking about Biden. We’re clearly talking about how the far left accuses anyone that is still voting as supporting genocide.
