    The way I interpreted their comment is that people often mention Biden supports genocide and some people may assume Trump doesn’t - so it’s worth mentioning that of course Trump supports genocide too (on top of all the other horrible shit he supports contributing to why he shouldn’t be in power).

      I would be amazed if anyone on lemmy.world was at all unaware of trump’s encouragement of genocide.

      I am amazed that anyone on lemmy.world could have possibly thought people on lemmy were unaware of Trump’s encouragement of genocide.

      I am not surprised that it seems to be the only concern.

        If I’ve learned anything about people through the past decade of politics its that you can never ever assume anything about people being intelligent in any group.

          If I’ve learned anything about political discourse it’s that you have to assume that some level of mutual understanding is possible for communication to be worthwhile, and for everything to not devolve into back and forth trolling. So, while you can’t assume intelligence, sure, you also kind of have to.

        So given it an election year you could agree that comparing both potential future presidents is a healthy option.

        Guess your argument is self-defeating, I’m gonna go for a hike 🤷🌲🌲

          In an election year I would agree that agitating complacent liberals into caring about warcrimes is a healthy option
