    Joe Biden is a war criminal and a rapist, so I think it’s valid.

    So is Trump. That was the whole point. It's the whole harm reduction thing. It's dumb but it's not evil.

    I believe in respecting the elderly,

    It's not so much about respect for me. I just know that after a certain age most people lose their marbles to one extent or the other.

    If someone over 85 is no longer able to communicate coherently, then they should retire from public life and give up their platform.

    That's true but the issue is that due to their age their judgement is no longer good enough to do that.

    including support for Pol Pot

    I'm pretty sure he did change his stance on that long ago.

    I think his work can help introduce concepts to someone and bring them left, but when talking with other leftists I am definitely going to criticize his behavior.

    I don't disagree.

        Then they should either have someone they trust step in to initiate that or be bullied publicly until they break and lose credibility.

        Well if they don't have someone to step in that's not really their fault.
