If this guy runs for president we will have many bots going "oh yeah what about that one time he hesitated to call it a genocide". Don't get me wrong it is %100 a genocide but equating someone with Trump because of this would be ridiculous, he is one of the most progressive democrats around which makes for a nice jumping board.

    He was born in Uganda so he can't run for president. No worries there.

    We have a rapist, thief, traitor, and war criminal in the oval office. There are many immigrants who have more honor, integrity, and intelligence than Agent "Krasnov" Orange.

    Sticking to rules, when the Grand Old Pedophile party uses them selectively, is a fool's game. We must either elect Mamdani or AOC, preferably both, into top offices.

    If the GOP protests? Punch them, and ignore their opinion. Because they don't give a shit about law nor decency, and should face the consequences of breaching the social contract.

    I kind of think blatantly violating the constitution is a good way to not get put on any ballots in the USA. Like the states board of elections would never go along with that. That's silly talk.

    Plenty of politicians that are deserving of the presidency exist aside from AOC.

    That's because you're accustomed to imagining bots whenever you see opposition to genocide.

    you haven't even read my previous msg did you? oh wait judging by the single downvote on each post you did. I suppose you just did not want to process it in that case.

    Sorry. I thought your initial comment was saying that the opposition to genocide that exists is petty and unreasonable and has no legitimate grievances.

    Were you not saying that?

    No what I was saying is more related to discussion in bad faith. I find discussions around things like "Bernie didn't call it a genocide he called only it a horrific crime so he is no different from Trump" quite vacuous and possibly in bad faith too. For instance, I think that if he was the president, US would not be backing the genocide irregardless of whether he called it a genocide or not and that is what matters.
