            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

                  The crazy thing about arguing with the far left is that they presuppose frames the exact same way as the far right, and then they blow a gasket when I refuse to engage on their bad faith terms, because obviously my unwillingness to accept their preliminary assumptions makes me an “apologist” for something. You’re a whisper away from baselessly calling me a Zionist. I can feel it coming.

                  Go ahead, say it. Let the hate flow through you.

                    I like that YouTube series.

                    I’m not saying you’re an apologist, but clearly your initial comment laid the blame at the feet of unhappy voters, not the genocide supporting VP candidate. That feels like apologetics. Perhaps you think he would have been a bad choice too, but you chose to blame the left (or “far left”) for having a problem with this in your comment, without acknowledging the issue, and that speaks volumes.

                    You’re a whisper away from baselessly calling me a Zionist. I can feel it coming.

                    Lol and I’m supposedly the one making bad faith assumptions?
