And what happens if, as a direct result of the way this campaign was conducted during the primaries, Biden ends up losing? (say, because the GOP somehow latch onto this Genocide Joe thing and turn into a Swiftboat that drags his whole campaign down just enough for Trump to squeak a win).

In that hypothetical scenario would you feel that the right choices were made?

See, no matter which way you come at this, in the end you're still stuck in the trolley problem.

The point is, if you're not considering these actions now in the context of what impact they might potentially have when you get to that in the end point, then you're driving at night without the lights on.

That's not me saying "Don't do it." That's me saying "Think very carefully about how you do it."

as soon as the GOP starts caring about genocide in its messaging hell has frozen over and we might be saved lmao.

so yeah i think the right choices would have been made but i hope you recognize how absurd that hypothetical is.
