Do you think this might be conflating internet-style "genocide" with the kind of genocide that involves gunning people down at an aid truck while they queue for food during a famine?
Moot point as I really don't think either party would be doing anything to stop the crisis. I do think we should be more careful with how we dilute language, though.
Not all genocides involve shooting people at an aid truck.

And if you think Joe Biden is in favor of any of that, you're insane.
I am getting really fucking tired of people telling me I should sacrifice my daughter to this genocide because there's another genocide somewhere else. Along with people like you denying it's even happening so you can accuse people like me of supporting a different genocide.
Well, don't get hysterical. I don't want to kill your child, and I'm not accusing you of supporting... anything, really.
Denying that an ongoing genocide perpetuated by Republicans that my child will be caught up in if Trump gets elected isn't even happening implies that, at the very least, you don't give a shit if my child dies and that voting for Biden wouldn't help anyway.
Because it's either that or you are totally ignorant of many years of Republican attitudes towards queer people in the U.S. and the many attempts to erase them from society which are only gaining steam.
And I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that you don't live under a rock.
I don't live in the USA, no.
Okay, so then maybe don't deny a genocide you've just been informed exists just because you don't live in that country.
You spend too much time on the internet.
You spend too much time denying that a genocide exists despite the overwhelming evidence.
