Lmao people talking about lack of nuance and everything either being good or bad but yea saying that it's bad Russia jails lgbtq people obviously means everybody is saying they hope imperialism happens to them, even though all those comments are literally explicitly saying that's not what they're saying.
This is indistinguishable from when liberals say we should throw minorities under the bus by not being so concerned about racism or transphobia to appeal to the mythical moderate conservative.
Literally line always goes up.
Maybe because if your lgbtq putting people in jail for wearing rainbow colors really isn't much more complicated than "bad guys"
It's the whole "The enemy of my enemy is my enemies enemy and nothing more"
Like if a nation would label you an extremist political organization and jail you for not being straight they're gonna have to do something other than happening to coincidently be opposed to NATO before you start singing their praises.
Doesn't mean you think nato should be running the country or expanding military bases but if you want to talk about being able to view it as more than "good guys" and "bad guys" being able to say "both these people are dogshit for different reasons" seems sufficiently nuanced
Yea "they're pointing out a bad thing we do to make us look bad" is pretty fucking weak
Which is 4 fucking 30 thanks to stupid goddamn daylight savings time
Democratic campaigning is literally just a protection racket.
"Nice bare minimum human rights you got there, be a shame if a fascist got elected and took them away. I got a friend you can vote for who will make sure that doesn't happen."
It really was a catch 22 for Hillary.
Not campaigning in a state makes it pretty obvious you don't give a shit.
Unfortunately every time she did campaign somewhere, or do anything really, her poll numbers went down.
I feel like people don't fully remeber or appreciate the fact her strategy for the last 3 months of the election was for her staff to lock her in a basement so she stopped pissing off potential voters.
Rather than acknowledge it they'll just write it off and not campaign there and the get very angry at anybody that points that out
I'm pretty sure this also happened in 2016.
America is so fucking stupid they keep electing people pretty explicitly just trying to run a grift.
"Leftist didn't vote for us because of stupid purity tests like we explicitly told them we didn't give a fuck what they think and would definitely do the opposite of what they wanted."
"It's very important to me that every liberal has the opportunity to access resources that would make it possible for them to receive my vote"
Lmao oh OK when you put it that way I see your point, it is good that Russia throws gay people in jail.
Wow it's way easier to win arguments when you just make up other people positions.
