    You said:

    If your goal was to stop the genocide, you should’ve voted for the person that values human lives

    I said:

    Neither of the top two candidates qualify.

    Then you disagreed citing isolated examples of caring about human lives while ignoring the platform of genocide she hitched her wagon to. I pointed out how her examples of “caring” were out of political convenience. If you acknowledge that she’s not a good person, then you agreed with me from the beginning but decided to try to defend her anyway.

      I’m not defending her. I’m trying to make the point that she has, and will respond if there’s enough political pressure. That’s all I’ve been saying. Yes, she has demonstrated that she wants the public to believe that she values human lives. I would take a politician that does that over one that does nothing but create chaos. I never said she’s actually a good person. Stop putting words in my mouth and try to understand what I’m saying before you respond.

        The people protesting the genocide weren’t enough political pressure? She essentially told them to shut up and then ignored them. Tell me, how would she be more willing to listen to them after she didn’t need their votes?
