    It was. It’s also being pushed very hard by the Russians and other foreign actors who have a huge interest in seeing Trump reelected. Why wouldn’t they? It’s way too easy and it’s working exactly as intended.

      Of course the right is going to disingenuously use this as a wedge issue. But, what exactly is your ask here? If a Democratic president is complicit in genocide, are fellow Democrats obliged to keep their traps shut? Furthermore, do you really think that the left needs the right to tell them that genocide is bad?

      I personally think the situation is far more complicated than many on the left are acknowledging, and there are some real defenses for most of Biden’s actions and his general approach to a terrible situation. But you aren’t availing yourself of those arguments. Instead, you just want to argue that the president’s critics should sit down and shut up because Republicans like it when we disagree. This is exactly the attitude that hardens ideological disagreement into cultural division.
