    This is amazing. The mental gymnastics necessary is mind boggling.

    Let’s say Trump and Biden are equally terrible for Palestinians but Trump rolls out a plan to pull out of Ukraine. Using the logic above, shouldn’t all Dems vote for Trump since he’s quantifiably less terrible?

    LOL. What fucking losers. It takes no effort to realize all sides are bad and we’re all fucked. Just own it. You can even still be a shitlib like my mom. Just realize it’s 100% bullshit.

      You misunderstand where their heart is on Ukraine. They don’t want Ukrainians to live, they want Russians to die. Their problem with trump pulling out of Ukraine isn’t “more dead Ukrainians”, it’s “less dead Russians”. This is why when you suggest Ukraine should take a peace deal to stop the war as soon as possible, you get the whinging and handwringing.

          Nope, it is our logic and not theirs. We want fewer dead people. Going by what liberals say about russia, they want more dead people. We only shit on Biden because he is not actually the lesser evil. Communists have made united fronts with many actual lesser evils before. Hell, even our critical support of many countries qualifies as lesser evilism. What makes us different from the liberals is that our perspective is significantly broader. We do not consider the genocides to be a lesser evil in any capacity.

        They don’t want Ukrainians to live

        Still remember reading incredibly ghoulish takes saying “This war is good because we’re severely damaging Russia at no cost in American lives.” Just outright admitting that they consider Ukrainians expendable.
