  • Oh for the love of god! What they’re saying that you’re not understanding is that if-

    Providing arms to Israel = 1
    Being a rapist = 2
    Having 34 felony convictions = 3
    “Dictator for a day” = 4
    “Help Israel “finish the job” = 5
    Project 2025 = 6
    Abolishing body autonomy for women = 7 Abolishing the rights of the LGBTQ + = 8
    Attacking American citizens with their own military = 9
    And being able to execute people that he doesn’t like = 10

    …. Then:

    • Harris = 1
    • Trump = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

    THIS IN NO WAY MINIMIZES ANYTHING.

    Hopefully this can end your confusion and settle this derailment of the topic.

    • I have no confusion on the issue at all. I have understood that that was the point of the comparison from the start, but what I've been very clear on is that I'm not talking about the point of the comparison, I am talking about the appropriateness of comparing mass slaughter to getting "gently poked in the ribs" for any reason to make any point. Talking about the point of the comparison is the derailment.

      Why don't you try listening to what I'm saying instead of making assumptions about my criticism that have nothing to do with anything I said, and then condescending to me about how I'm "confused" and "failing to understand?" I have absolutely no confusion about the point, which again I understood from the beginning, but regardless of the point, comparing genocide to getting gently poked in the ribs is minimizing genocide. I don't see how anyone could possibly disagree with that.
