Why do Democrat supporters keep forgetting atrocities committed by their leaders? (lemmy.world)

Whenever I talk to any Democrat supporters, they by-default cheer their Presidents and then I've to remind them of their leader's illegal wars and war crimes. They condemn those acts and they go back to their cheerleading role - Why do they keep forgetting atrocities committed by their leaders? Why do they accept war criminals as their leader?

it sounds like you're trying to project the guilt and shame you feel at being tricked into becoming a nazi by a bunch of geriatric Epstein associates.

What is it that you think "Nazi" actually means? Who tricked me into what, exactly?

Pull the lever for genocide

No you misunderstood, I didn't vote for Trump or Stein (or any other spoiler candidates) so I didn't support genocide.

Why are 3rd party candidates a spoiler? Can you explain where spoiler effect comes from, and how it works?

BlueMaga will scream about voting for the lesser evil and then admit they have to engage in total denial of the evil their chosen candidate actually committed in other to stomach voting for them. When you've contorted yourself to the point of trying to argue that the Democrats aren't responsible for genocide, but Jill fucking Stein is, you've completely cooked your brain trying to justify defending the indefensible.

No you voted for biden and copmala who personally oversaw and armed the beginning of the genocide. Why do you not see non white people as human?

who personally oversaw and armed the beginning of the genocide

Oh wow, I didn't know my vote went back in time to 1948!

Also, who the fuck is "Compmala"? Definitely never voted for someone with that name.

Ah, so you're an Israel supporter lmao.

For the record, Israel is committing this century's holocaust in occupied Palestine, and they're trying to do the same in Lebanon.
