Yours is fear mongering and whattaboutism. The problem we currently face is not someone who is no longer actively in politics, and constantly bringing it up as though dealing with it now is going to make any kind of difference is intellectually dishonest.

We need to deal with the situation we have now, not what has happened before. Doing otherwise is little more than distraction.

And as far as my last few comments... perhaps you just make a lot of comments worth replying to? I honestly dont pay that close attention to it.

It'll be a problem in 2 years when Democrats run an unwinnable candidate like Holocaust Harris again and JD Vance wins the election.

Would you rather talk about it now or then?

We need to deal with the situation we have now, not what has happened before.

"There is nothing to be learned from the past, we must be strictly reactionary." Truly a liberal approach, I'll give you that much.

I do not understand why you are calling "holocaust Harris" someone that wasn't against selling weapons used by someone else with the explicit intention of doing a genocide (she knew but she was ok with that) BUT you're NOT doing the same to the other one, which instead is actively planning the final solution???

Because it's important to call out every genocidaire but I assume no one here is so incredibly stupid as to support Trump. Just stupid enough to support Dems. So calling out Trump would just be preaching to the choir.
