    Whataboutism is when my biases are revealed and I have no strong arguments.

    “Please post about this issue in a different thread so I can conveniently ignore it. I might even down downvote it so it doesn’t get any traction, but don’t ever bring this topic up when we’re circlejerking our beloved president who’s funding a genocide”

    Showing how weak your arguments are against funding a genocide is not the flex you think it is.

      I already conceded that this isn’t whataboutism, before you wrote this reply. Nothing I wrote could be interpreted as an argument against funding genocide. I’ll oppose genocide at the ballot box at every opportunity.
