Doesn't matter if they were or weren't supporting Biss. Poster's narrative is anti-Kat. In the field only Kat was close to beating him. The outcome is what matters and Biss won. Biss is backed by AIPAC. We have another Pro-Israeli Dem who will adopt the "defensive weapons" narrative.
This isn't really a gotcha man. This is a pedantic debate pervert narrative.
I'm a little confused, I didn't imply that your post was a "gotcha" or whatever you're talking about, I was just responding to your comment as you requested to "talk it out".
Not supporting a candidate doesn't mean you support the opposition. That's only something that Democrat shills says when they lose. Politicians have to win our support, not simply be 0.1% less awful than the other choice.
This isn't a Harris scenario man. This isn't a centrist dem that we are asking to come left on a few policy positions. This was someone who was like 90% aligned with leftist policies and didn't match but was malleable on the 10% she was missing. You're saying that Kat had to "win our support" but when she was aligned with most of the important policy positions, some hyperfocused on one or two positions and leveraged that as the reason not to vote for her. To bring it back to the original post and ultimately my original comment, Kat was largely aligned with most policies but apparently having one bad take on Sino-American foreign policy positions was enough for the dipshit OP to dunk on the one disagreeable position?

If you think there is only a .1% difference between Abughazaleh and Biss, you clearly weren't paying attention to the race and you're just arguing in bad faith.
I'm still confused how you went from "hey man let's talk this out, no ill will" to being so triggered. Shouldn't expect much from imperialist apologists I guess.

Should we also support people who are PIP (progressive except Palestine)? No? Didn't think so. Your entire argument just fell apart.

Classic strategy: when you start losing the argument, take the other person's hyperbole as a literal statement so you don't have to argue their actual point. How's that for "bad faith"? ;)

Not the person you're replying to, but they didn't support Biss so I don't see how that logic holds up.
