I dunno. Why is all criticism of Harris/Biden supporting genocide met with "Yeah?! Whatabout Trump?! You want Trump to win?"

Because that's what centrists do when they get criticism about the only policy centrists won't immediately abandon at the slightest pressure.

I can only speak for myself. If the polls are any accurate indication, my fear of Christian Nationalism overthrowing democracy in the United States may soon be realized. They appear neck and neck, so anything that shits on Kamala, I feel like it needs to fall on Trump's head too. After the election, I can shit on Kamala's genocidal dreams without needing to invoke Trump.

The article is about costing her the election on the genocide issue, which is fucked up because voting her down only puts the other pro-genocide in, plus the Christian Nationalists.

If it matters, I'm not a centrist.
