“It seems like every cycle we say that and we kind of mean it but this time I think we are in a category change where I believe the United States and the way that we think about ourselves as a nation has not been in danger like this since 1865.

    I'm not voting for Trump, for obvious reasons. I'm also unwilling to vote for a genocide denier, though.

    Votes need to be earned. This message is the same bullshit Democrats do so they don't have to give things to their base. Trying to shame their base, rather than earn the votes.

    The saying 'Republicans fear their base, and Democrats have contempt for theirs' is really true.

      i think our friend Joseph is more of a “passive genocide participant” or “genocide enabler” than a denier— bit more severe of a charge

        Yeah, I mean, I agree. The Genocide Denier is more of an argument for liberals. They are more likely to admit genocide denial, then actively assisting genocide. I think. I don't know, I'm probably be wrong.
