    “I don’t want to hear anything he has to say anymore”

    Peak Lemmy mentality.

      I’m not loyal to politicians, I am loyal to ideas. You should try it sometime. Being loyal to politicians is crazy.

        A bit naive to expect any politician to match one’s own ideology 100% of the time.

        When they do, they tend to be populists like Trump: spineless who would promise whatever their followers demand from them. I would be wary of any politician who had never made a blunder.

        Anyway, since you wouldn’t compromise, I guess you don’t vote?

        You realize that’s something completely different, though, right? Those are two completely disjoint thoughts.

          Not supporting genocide is just a negotiable for you huh. Peak centrism right there. You’ll end up with the world you demand, and the outcomes you allow for others.

          When bad outcomes happen to you remember this lack of any basic standard at all.
