    People just really dislike genocide it seems. It’s almost like they’d rather vote for people who don’t support it. The real question is why you apparently have such a problem with that?

    Harris seems better on this and the party is basically united, so why fuck it up now? The fact that you jump to blame voters is embarrassing

                I really don’t have any intention to do that, I don’t know you. Anyway looks like she chose correctly now. So it’s all good.

                    Them: “We don’t want a VP candidate that supports genocide”

                    You: “Oh look here comes the circular firing squad” ie “these people who take issue with the candidate are the problem, not the candidate”

                    Please tell me how this isn’t apologetics or playing defense for someone supporting genocide

        Genocide is something that should be reductively absolute.

        Why do you think it shouldn’t be?

        If you support genocide, that should be something you are saddled with for the rest of your life.

          Some day you’ll interact with enough adults to learn that they’re not cartoons.

            I’m 45.

            Supporting genocide is a good reductive test for if someone has any kind of morality. Same as with racism.

            The fact that you don’t recognize that, and think that not recognizing that makes you an adult that is not a cartoon says everything about your morality.

            It says nothing about my age or how many people I interact with.

            EDIT: You also didn’t answer the question on why you think Genocide shouldn’t be a reductive label.

            Do you think that genocide is ever justifiable?

              Seems like they’re avoiding answering direct questions about their beliefs or even fully explaining them. Why you might do that is anyone’s guess

              And you’ve never had a human conversation with a stranger who disagrees with you? At 45?! My dude, you’ve got a lot of things to catch up on.

                I have. And you know what? Genocide isn’t a matter of disagreeing. The fact that you think it is says everything anyone needs to know about you.

                  Thanks for telling me what I think! Somehow I convinced myself that I believed something completely different, and I’m so glad you were there to help clear things up for me!!!
