I don’t even disagree with the position you have that minimizing genocide is abhorrent. However, by talking about “what is related or not” I personally feel like society is spraying blood from the femoral artery and there’s the “tourniquet party” and the “shoot people in the femoral artery” party and you’re like “FUCK THE TOURNIQUET PARTY, they abetted genocide! I’m out!”. Or “Because of their apparent support for genocide, I will vote for the cautery and surgical foam party, even if they HAPPEN to be a 9 hour drive away.”
It’s incredibly jarring that you’d call people who abetted a genocide the “tourniquet party”
The gunshot wound in the analogy is not genocide. It is more like all the human services things like healthcare, food stability, loans and loan repayment, etc.
Like there are DEFINITELY ways to do it better than either of the candidates here, but comparing D to R addressing these issues (or not) there’s no contest.
If someone goes “won’t anyone give me a gun so I can shoot this child in the head” and person A says “sure thing” and person B says “Sure thing. Also, black lives matter, slava Ukraine”.
You wouldn’t say person B was actually a force for good unless you think Hitler was a force for good because of his anti-smoking campaigns and animals rights advocacy.
I didn’t say anything about force for good. I said objectively better. If you think Kamala and Trump are equivalent presidents, well… I would be surprised you can read.
You get 3rd party genocide in Palestine no matter what you pick which is a travesty, but D politics doesn’t lead to disappearing people to CECOT or broad daylight funneling money from the government into the hands of the friends of the president at the expense of dismantled dept of education or anything else.
I guess I could have used the cautery party, but basically everything is way fucking better than what we have now.
I’m sorry but if you’re going to refer to people that do a genocide and then use any word that suggest they’re a force for good, then I’m going to call you a cunt.

Both R AND D abetted a genocide. That’s the entire point.
My point is you wouldn’t call either a “tourniquet party” when they helped in the genocide as tourniquet implies they were only trying to stop it.

You called them the “tourniquet party” for a gunshot wound…
I sure did.
