    ah, more “boTh sIDES ARe THE SAMe” fallacy.

    You know it’s an actual, universally recognized logical fallacy (“strawman”) to mischaracterize what someone else said. I didn’t say “the same”. They are not IDENTICAL. Can we appreciate the distinction between “both genocide and god-awful” and “both literally identical”?

    This level of conversation you’re engaging in is part of the problem. We cannot reach an agreement on anything if we can’t even have a conversation that makes sense. I cannot sit here all day clarifying that I didn’t say things that I didn’t even write in the first place, that’s a colossal and pointless waste of time, so why are you creating that situation in the first place? Think about who you’re responding to, what they actually evidently think, and if what you’re thinking of writing in response is actually going to put something informative and useful in front of everyone, or just devolve into pointless childish bickering that discourages people from even thinking about the topic. Seriously. Table stakes here, this is shit I can’t believe we even have to establish in 2024, on lemmy even.

      No, it’s very fucking clear that if you’re worried about overseas genocide, Biden would be the better pick, even with his historic dick sucking of Israel. You are either a bad actor or idiot if you think otherwise.

        See, I can’t do this thing where we’re just having two completely separate conversations. You are not good at listening to other people and understanding their meaning, or are acting in bad faith yourself, purposefully misconstruing what I’m saying. Either way you’re wasting everyone’s time.
