There’s criticism, and then there’s “democrats and Harris are horrible genocidal people and you are supporting genocide if you vote for them” criticism.

I don’t know of anyone making reasonable and realistic criticism getting downvoted.

I mean, the trouble is that voting for Democrats does literally support genocide, if only because every president and presidential candidate in modern history has promised and/or enacted genocidal policies. When talking about US politics and genocide, the bar is so low, it's in hell.

The nuance to all of the above is that voting for Republicans supports genocide even more. It's entirely valid to vote for less genocide amongst several genocidal options, and also to call said genocide out.
