Libs love to use constructions like "I don't agree with X. But, look, Y is worse so...". They don't care if they paint themselves into a corner. They can use phrases like "Democracy isn't perfect. The hard reality is that we need to win elections." It's bad enough if X is is dems pols saying they are okay with destroying homeless encampments. Arguing libs can still believe they won the argument and be self-righteous too. They can even though in an obnoxious comment like "You don't understand how politics works."

But in this case X is literal genocide. That means they are either foolish or lying or creepy or some combination.
