I seriously think this is a bad way to go about life, generalizing in general. Makes you see things in black and white. I realize this in itself is a generalization but I think you get the point.

In some ways, yes, but look at this objectively. The people who vote Democrat could have voted for Marianne Williamson, a person is actively against genocide, and also has other positive views like support for a living wage.

Those same voters have watched Joe Biden enable genocide and apartheid, and it was only an embarrassing incident on national TV that finally got them to admit that, maybe, they were wrong, not the genocide.

This generalization is well-earned. I'd feel differently if Williamson had gotten even handful of delegates, but nope.
