Why do Democrat supporters keep forgetting atrocities committed by their leaders? (lemmy.world)

Whenever I talk to any Democrat supporters, they by-default cheer their Presidents and then I've to remind them of their leader's illegal wars and war crimes. They condemn those acts and they go back to their cheerleading role - Why do they keep forgetting atrocities committed by their leaders? Why do they accept war criminals as their leader?

Dems don't care who the leader is. What matters if they're advancing the agenda. Same reason Republicans cheer on a pedophile rapist.

The poor turnout for Hillary and Kamala suggests they actually do have some opinions on who the leader is.

No group is a monolith.

Yeah americans genuinely would rather have a rapist as a president than a woman, amazing. (jokes aside, you are of course correct that this immediately disproves that theory that people don't care who the leader is)

Americans would rather vote for someone who lies about being anti war, than a fucking bloodthirsty neoliberal war monger? Weird.

Between War Criminals and Rapist War criminals, Americans definitely prefer the Rapist War Criminals.

Don't get me started on how pathetic it was for the non-rapist war criminals to invite one of the most infamous war criminals to their campaign, instead of being, uk, not war criminals
