c'mon, shes the best person in congress, I think we can give her the benefit of the doubt. She was obviously talking about the concentration camps on the US border and accidently mistyped 'China' instead of 'the US'
'tankies' don't exist in any serious sense. The real 'tankies' are the libs and neocons who are currently cheering on their imperialist leaders rolling tanks through Syria.
She abstained on the Armenian genocide vote ffs. She’s a joke. There’s more to this than just her having one bad take on a heavily propagandized matter
If this place wanted to “grow” (by your obviously misaligned metric), should the transphobes and other bigots have been tolerated and hand-held here? Any growth that requires us to parrot & tolerate reactionary lies and other awfulness is not “growth”, it’s throwing this place in the dumpster with the rest of the trash.
Education is the right approach on this and most foreign policy issues, not censure. We have so little real influence on what China does (or even on what the U.S. does to China), so a bad take on a foreign issue doesn't hurt anyone.
If you want the site to grow, maybe it's time to not throw a fit every time someone famous talks about this.

Once again, I'm linking the white paper
She's right about mass detention. No one was saying genocide here except you.

if you have to start a sentence with this, you should just backspace the whole thing

Imagine thinking you're smart for pretending you don't know what a word means.
imagine being such an american nerd to unironically use the term in the first place on a leftist sub.

Literally not a single person here called it a genocide. I checked.

Shut the fuck up.

For what it's worth, she did have a rationale behind that vote
Indeed she did, but that makes this statement even more silly based on its timing and context

Most new users see it and are immediately turned off. I know I am.

how do you know what most new users think?
why are you turned off by debunking the equivalent of the incubator lies or WMD lies about Iraq?
Sucks for them.
