“The brazen hypocrisy staggers the mind. Disney, which commands a market cap larger than the GDP of many nations, can't find the courage to even wait for court challenges? Meta, which regularly boasts its power to connect billions, suddenly can't muster the strength to defend its own policies and users? These aren't businesses making tough choices – they're paper empires run by moral cowards—simpering, whimpering, and weak.”

I feel like "funding a genocide" is a far cry from "letting perfection get in the way of good". Not backing a genocide seems like a pretty low bar to expect from a political party.

Additionally, I think liberals have long had a long history of "whatever, my team is my team". Did you see them during the last few campaigns? All I heard the entire time was "Vote Blue, No Matter Who", despite their canditates and policy being absolutely terrible.

Refusing to help stop a dictator because it would mean stepping down off your morality pedestal seems like a much lower bar to me.

And as I've pointed out and NOBODY ever addresses, while the Biden admin was being called genocidal nazis they were helping to negotiate the ceasefire that went into effect a few days before Li'l Shitler took office thanks to the people who refused to vote for Harris. But go ahead and pat yourself on the back and give yourself a gold star. The world thanks you for being a better person.

Nobody addresses is because it was obviously bullshit. If he wanted to get a ceasefire in place, he had plenty of time to do it. Instead he chose to dick around and keep funding the genocide.

You can be mad all you want about people chosing to stand by their morals, but that seems like mis-directed anger. Why not get mad at the Pro-Genocide party instead? They could have easily won this election, but chose Genocide and Billionaires instead.
