I called him complicit by asking a question wrong hours later?

Right, so why would anyone call him complicit?

Is it complacency if he’s forced to either deny genocide or lose his position to stop it?

We can always hold “we’ll organize and push her left after the election” people accountable. If they’re honest, then more people will organize, big win. If they’re not, then they’ll be so ashamed that they make new accounts.

Back then: “This will ensure we never tolerate genocide again!”

Now: mandatory genocide denial

The failure of FPTP was laid bare for all to see. Anyone who doesn’t support RCV after that is either a fool or already bought.

The people who give them to you?

IMHO it’s more like half of them. Bernie is a successful compromise between liberal and leftist voters.

Now Bernie is endorsing Harris, but if he was someone’s compromise, then that compromise isn’t necessarily transitive to a more centrist candidate.

Are you replying to LovableSidekick? The grandparent post didn’t mention genocide.

In their defense, Beria would have sent even more tanks than “lesser evil” Khrushchev did. Asking for zero tanks is kinda privileged and idealistic.

(Disclaimer: this is an academic exercise to me because I don’t believe fetuses are people)

It boils down to consent. If you didn’t consent, then it’s not murder to remove a parasite. My right to swing my fist ends at your face.

Even outside of rape, the claim that consenting to having sex is consenting to have a baby is a stretch.

I’ve heard arguments that abortion is justified even with fetus personhood because nobody has a moral obligation to serve as a host for anyone else without informed consent. You have the right to do anything whatsoever with your own body, regardless of how much someone else needs it.

Endorsement of trickle-down is usually made for the same reason as criticisms of UBI… Conservative voters are ignorant of the concept of elasticity in economics, and their politicians know it.

And while we’re at it, we need to improve and standardize how we measure inflation. Big screen TVs getting cheaper doesn’t matter to most people.

The ruling class is taking advantage of our different time preferences. If you expect to live long enough to die to climate change, then you’re “privileged”.

If we did it, they’d shoot us.

I’d wish for it even if she had a 100% chance.

I put strange stuff like that in my resume just to stick out to people like you. Twice now I’ve been hired partly because I’m a Dungeon Master.

How dare you accuse GP of delusions! Unless you’re one of the…
