    If you allowed Harris to think she could win while supporting genocide, you supported genocide. The only way to get to a “no genocide” outcome was for you to participate in making it clear to Harris that it was a non-negotiable point. But you centrists couldnt be bothered to even vote uncommitted in the “primary”.

    You let genocide exist within the democratic party. Thats why innocents are dead. Because you felt OK negotiating other peoples existence for whatever your hot button issues were. You were 100% willing to throw nameless browns into the gears of the US government to keep the big machine oiled and lurching forward. Grow some ethics and you’ll win more elections.

    If the party machine 100% needs blood sacrifice to function, then it needs to be destroyed. But thats the thing isnt it. It doesnt need that sacrifice, you just allowed it because you’re a lazy unprincipled centrist with no respect or empathy for your fellow humans.

      Innocents were dead either way. What’s worse, ten thousand dead innocents or a hundred thousand dead innocents?

      What’s your answer to the trolley problem? Do you let ten people die because you don’t want the moral culpability of one person’s death?

      Combine that with the “drowning child” thought experiment. If you witness a child drowning in a pond, do you have a moral responsibility to save them? If you simply walk away, are you less morally culpable for that child’s death?

        My answer to the trolley problem is to physically stop the people tying others to the tracks when that was never necessary or helpful.

        Why didnt you make it clear to harris that genocide wasnt an option? Where were you centrists when it was time to stand up and be counted? Harris’s stand on soft peddling the genocide wasnt inevitable. She did it because the party let her think she could get away with it. And now look at you, still at it, having learned nothing from losing the election run on your terms.

          So your actual answer is that you turned your back and played make believe, while deluding yourself into thinking you chose the best option and that everyone else in the world was at fault. Meanwhile you had no effect on stopping a genocide.

            And neither did you. At least my way could have worked. Yours was utter BS from the very start.
