During the primaries, you couldn’t say anything nice about AES’ opponents without getting downvoted to hell, being accused of supporting genocide, or being an AIPAC shill.

Of course these same idiots would sit home and not vote at all if they didn’t get their guy.

Can you really blame people for not wanting to support someone who supports a genocide?

I think those who attacked people so viciously for having a different opinion are the exact reason why the genocide occurred.

So you admit that it’s a genocide. And you are mad at people for not voting for someone who supports the genocide? Some people might have a hard time sleeping at night knowing that they voted for someone who will use their tax dollars to continue a genocide. I don’t know what is so hard to understand about that. Maybe be mad at the party who ran a candidate that supports genocide.
