    Lay off them. I’ve interacted with them enough to know they’re genuine and not an absurdist. They were always intending to vote for Biden, they just had their criticisms – and as we see now, those criticisms proved to be quite good for us as a whole.

        I find that logic just as absurd as you do, and I think people who branded Biden voters as genocide lovers were utter idiots. Do I like how things are going in Gaza? No. But did I still support Biden? Completely. That was the only candidate who would prevent things from getting worse and save some lives vs if Trump is elected instead.

        I hope this establishes that I’m in agreement with you on a lot of our mindset. What I’m saying here is that Ensign Crab is not one of those people who says this either. You’re projecting Linker onto them. Ensign is critical of Democrats, but they were never as insane as Linker or “oh you must love children dying since you support Biden”. They’ve been very up front that they were going to vote Dem.

        There’s no need to fight with them. We’re on the same team. You’re both decent people. Let’s celebrate another voter coming to Harris, and move on.

          I wish I could agree with you but right here is what prompted the argument: “I know she’s not your first choice, but Netanyahu can’t run.”

          To me that’s just a little more obtuse way of saying the same.
