single issue voters have always been a scourge to democracy. Whether they be "pro-life" and happily accept anything the candidate dumps out, as long as they control women's health, or anti-genocide and reject everything, even to the point of burning down their own country.
Very few people are actually "pro-genocide", but people need to balance everything.
it's still: genocide+lots of good stuff vs genocide+lots of bad stuff.
it's not a matter of whataboutism, because both sides are pro-genocide.
If genocide is all that matters, then you're a good person morally, but a bad American. Genocide SHOULD and DOES matter. But the topic shouldn't be your only defining political characteristic.
Shit Americans Say.

Do you just not really pay attention to US politics? It was only like a year or two ago that his name was always being brought up.
If knowing that name is your sole metric for "not really paying attention", then by your standards, I obviously don't really pay attention.
Fortunately, my desire to care about your metrics is non-existent.
