    I didn’t say anything about genocide. What is happening in Gaza, Darfur, Burma, DRC, Xinjiang is horrific and should be stopped.

      Your “no one is ever good enough for the left” bullshit was in direct defense of people not wanting to support someone who told them no in response to their desire for her to change the US stance on DIRECTLY SUPPORTING AN ACTIVE GENOCIDE.

      You didn’t have to say it. It was implied via the context.

        Firstly I would appreciate less offensive language, we can discuss like civil adults. Secondly I disagree with your opinion. I do not support any genocide much less the active genocides. What I said isn’t in the defense of anyone. It’s more so a general statement about human behavior. If you want to make it into something more than I intended then you are free but I won’t agree to it personally.

          An adult can handle the word “bullshit” being used.

          Wasn’t even directed at you. Grow up.

          When someone, like yourself, steps into argue against someone making a point insulting a genocide enabler, in the way that you did: implying that the exact person being talked about is a great choice and people who don’t support that genocide enabler are somehow unable to be pleased…it very much aligns you with the thing your disagreement is countering the critique of. This is how communication works.

          If you want to make generic comments not aligned with defending a genocide enabler, there were more appropriate avenues to do that. This was not it.

          Context is important.
