      Read what you’ve written. I did. Not once have you admitted that harris was wrong in the slightest to support genocide.

      It’s all “but trump’s worse!” and “but people were discouraging others from voting!”

      Harris was wrong to support genocide. Whether trump is worse is immaterial. She wasn’t failed by an electorate that demands perfection. She failed an electorate that had generous, reasonable standards she was unwilling to meet. “Don’t support genocide” isn’t demanding perfection. It’s expecting the tiniest sliver of basic human decency, and somehow that’s too much to ask. So she lost. The electorate isn’t going to fall line next time either. That’s not me discouraging voting; that’s me looking at reality.

        Harris’ support of genocide was not the sole factor to her losing, activists like Briahna played a role as well as a million other factors. Harris should’ve been better, Briahna should’ve been better. In this thread about Briahna, I’m focusing on what Briahna and other activists could’ve done better. You will not engage with that, you are trying to have a different conversation, another one in which we agree, but is not the focus of this conversation between Contrapoints and Briahna. And you’re strawmanning so hard about my views outside of Briahna, I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith.

          This is the closest you’ve come to saying that Harris shouldn’t have supported genocide in this thread. Still not there. Who’s stopping you from saying that Harris shouldn’t have supported genocide?

            You have yet to give your thoughts on the video, which activist you agree with, a single response to their arguments, you have yet to type the words ‘Briahna’ or ‘Contrapoints’ yet in this very long thread about Briahna and Contrapoints. You are being evasive.

              Harris was wrong to support genocide, and since you cannot admit that for some reason, you blame critics like Briahna for her loss.

                  She told others not to.

                  Like you, Contrapoints claimed she told others not to. Like you’ve been repeating all thread.

                  You keep claiming we agree, but unlike you I’m willing to say that harris was wrong to support genocide. You’ve already said that she supported genocide, so I’m starting to get the impression that you don’t think supporting genocide is wrong at all.
