Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The question you're trying to dodge was "is Biden a piece of shit for enabling a genocide" not "is Trump worse".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Usually if you agree with 80% of what someone does you call them an ally.

With some on the left if you don't agree with 99.9% of what they do then they're an enemy and it makes them useless as a political bloc.

No matter how tough the single issue is you've got to look at the full picture and make a choice from there which I have.

Biden is not a piece of shit and Trump is making the situation worse and the fault lays on people who voted for Trump or chose to stay home.

Biden is not a piece of shit

So someone who enables genocide is not, in your moral framework, a piece of shit. Full stop. Not even a "lesser evil" argument, just straight out not-evil.

Good that we've got that definitively stated.

This feels like talking to anti-abortionist.

‘When the issue is killing babies there’s nothing to talk about.’

I just posted this but it's worth repeating.

Does it matter how morally bankrupt the 20% is?

Asking before I pose any analogies you might think is unfair

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It can’t be any more unfair then the purity testing the left puts all of their own through.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Idk man. If, just as an example, Biden "shot someone in the middle of 5th avenue", i think it would be hubris to expect him not to lose any voters

You can call that 'purity testing' if you want, but I'd say that the expectation for it to have no effect is just wishful thinking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You dont understand its actually really important that I be able to ignore the genocide and operate as if it isnt happening otherwise youre purity testing me and I cant accept being called a bad person for handwaving it away. This is why "the left" is so divided, too many people hung up on the genocide. What happened to imperfect allies! /s

It seems it’s a bigger problem now though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Blame the two party system which make people switch between the two bad options till the worst happen and the worst of the worst candidate finally won

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Personally I blame the voters and non-voters.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I also blame the voters for voting for the two genocidal parties

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Genocide has quickly become the biggest thought and conversation ending cliché among the left.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Gotta draw the line somewhere, and the left decided that genocide is that hard line that under no circumstances should be crossed.

If you don't draw the line at genocide, then where exactly do you draw the line?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Nah the left backed double genocide and there’s blood on their morally pure hands.
