    single issue voters have always been a scourge to democracy. Whether they be “pro-life” and happily accept anything the candidate dumps out, as long as they control women’s health, or anti-genocide and reject everything, even to the point of burning down their own country.

    Very few people are actually “pro-genocide”, but people need to balance everything.

    it’s still: genocide+lots of good stuff vs genocide+lots of bad stuff.

    it’s not a matter of whataboutism, because both sides are pro-genocide.

    If genocide is all that matters, then you’re a good person morally, but a bad American. Genocide SHOULD and DOES matter. But the topic shouldn’t be your only defining political characteristic.
