    Well you did say that Dems and Republicans are supporting the same amount of genocide when clearly Republicans are the only one of the two supporting the genocide happening to the Ukrainian people.

      We weren’t talking about Ukraine, that much was obvious, pretending I was making a statement about Ukraine is peak dishonesty, especially when we are discussing censorship of calling attention to the Palestinian Genocide.

        Huh… so talking about one genocide while ignoring another when comparing two political parties is ok? Interesting.

          The context was that the Palestinian genocide has bipartisan support, along with the material conditions that go into that, and now the subsequent censure of that as “misinformation.” Nothing to do with Ukraine, that’s an entirely separate topic.

            Isn’t genocide the same thing as genocide though? Or is it that one is different than the other if it can be used to divide a political party?

          Every time this is brought up they always seem to side-step the issue, which to me- shows their true colors.

          Genocide seems to be fine in one country. But not in an other where it can be politicized to polarize a political party.
