      If mentioning a genocide helped elect Trump, then doing the genocide helped Trump far more, so I don’t know why you’re not attacking the dems for that.

      The genocide charge wouldn’t carry any weight if it wasn’t true.

      Why is this genocide more important to you as a political football than as, you know, a genocide?

      You’re a genocide denier. You’re not denying it’s happening, you’re just denying it’s worth talking about, which is maybe worse.

        I’m not denying it’s worth talking about. I’m saying that “not making the genocide even worse” is more important than feeling morally superior on the internet. Some people obviously disagree.

          So are you mad at the dems for making the genocide even worse by doing a genocide which helped them lose an election thus making the genocide worse?

          Why is it leftsts’ fault for telling the truth and not dems’ fault for making it true?

          Why do we have to be fair to the dems to agree that Trump’s genocide would be worse when the dems worked so hard to make “worse” virtually unimaginable?

          Why do we have to be fair to you by always saying Trump is worse but you don’t have to be fair to us by acknowledging that there is an actual genocide?

          Just because you have some mental gymnastics to explain why the dems’ genocide is somehow something we shouldn’t talk about doesn’t mean you’re not denying it.

      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!
