right... more like that first line is: Genocide bad so don't vote for democrats.
Many left voters agree genocide is bad, we can vote for Democrats while also protesting and reaching out to our reps to stop the genocide.
That's like saying oh yeah my friend is a serial killer, but at least he doesn't beat his family. Besides, I will tell him how upset I am about all the murdering he's doing next time we go out for beers.
No offense, but that’s really goddamn stupid. Do you understand that voting is an exercise in constrained optimization.
The only thing that's really goddamn stupid is pretending that voting for genocide is somehow moral. No better illustration of the fact that liberals are utterly morally bankrupt.

Why are you working to get Democrats elected? Are they paying you? What's the point?
