    I think this is that lady that Amber spent like half an hour empathizing with on the pod.

      She said something to the effect of "her politics are terrible, but she seems to honestly think they'll help people, and she's very pretty."

        But that's the thing with Amber, she always seems to make excuses for reactionaries or look really hard to find something good about them, but then will give no such considerations to even a radlib.

          She's the epitome of "I think we stand a better chance converting conservatives [who believe all trans people should die] than liberals"

          I mean, take a hard look around this place. You'll see plenty of people treating Bernie Sanders with absolute contempt and then turning around and lightheartedly joking about some thing Trump did or more seriously making the case that he's better than Hillary or Biden on imperialism.

          "She honestly believes this" isn't really an excuse, too. It's the same point made about Biden whenever his lack of personal benefit from a life in politics comes up.
