    This is some pretty weak psyop. But even if it weren’t, it’s pretty fucking obvious that politicians will adopt positions in order to get votes. That’s like one of the ways you get elected.

    That’s why we as voters need to do more than show up on election day. After all, we are electing politicians, not saints.

      BlueMaga liberals continue to be unable to accept that anyone might just sincerely oppose genocide

      This was why Lenin advocated for instant-recall for elected politicians. It’s been a problem for over 150 years.

    • Yeah, you’d have to be a saint to actually be against genocide. Perfectly natural to just lie for the fascists. /s

      Even a very selfish, evil person would not normally support genocide. These people are on another level, an incredibly low one.

        If it makes them money, morals and humanity are just in the way. Gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps. How else will you be a trillionaire one day? Empathy is a sin. That’s what our first trillionaire says.
