I'll be honest, if I were an American, I'd vote democrat

Like I said, you should be honest and say, "I'd vote for a genocide candidate". I kept my response short and direct and you opted, for a second time, to ignore the point and self-indulge your poor logic on political power and electoralism.

Regarding the rest, You should not have expected a debate on your electoral reasoning as (1) I was already dismissive of it from the get-go, implying I am already aware of it, (2) you have at no point acknowledged this and are instead trying to, for lack of a better word, mansplain it, (3) you haven't asked for a debate nor have I indicated we were having one, and (4) you are not responding directly to what I have to say. What you are doing is not debate, but a bad faith engagement to provide apologetics for supporting genocide.

I would be happy to discuss your electoral reasoning if we could get past this basic hurdle of direct responses and good faith engagement.
