Not every victim of Genocide is killed. Any person who was put in a concentration camp by Hitler, or even persecuted, was a victim of the Holocaust. Similarly any person in Gaza is the victim of a Genocide. And you don't have to be a Palestinian to empathise with people.
Your scope of analysis is limited to 4 years. There's no long term analysis. If people vote for Genocide it will cement that Democrats can get away with anything if they fearmonger hard enough.
When people threaten to withhold votes for a Genocide they have to follow through or all the leverage falls away. It's a game of chicken now.
OK, I'll bite. Trump wins. Give your "long term analysis"
Democrats won't do Genocide in 2028 if they win then because they have now learnt they can't get away with literally anything by feamongering.
Democrats can't just say they're "not Trump". They have to be "not Trump".
4 years? That's your idea of "long term"? You honestly think losing one election will teach anybody anything? How the fuck will they know what lesson to learn when they lose? As other commenters have said, their are other issues the two parties disagree on. How will they know what one to blame for losing?
On the other hand, pubs are learning that they can run a convicted felon that promises a dictatorship if he wins. Yeah, let's set that precedent...
Already proven. They dropped Biden because they knew they would get Hillary2016'd if they didn't. Democrats only seem to learn their lesson the hard way.
Heard the dictator shtick in 2016 try something new.
As usual when defeated resort to ad-hominems.
