I have empathy for the people whose lives were made miserable by republican policies graham championed and I celebrate one less champion of those policies fucking people over
There’s a big difference between Kissinger and Graham, I mentioned this in another reply, but it bears repeating…
Kissinger had the power and ability to act alone in his atrocities.
Graham, as a member of the Senate, did not have that ability. Whatever evils he enacted, he was able to do so with the consent of a majority of the House, Senate and President.
Kissinger did what he wanted, Graham literally could not on his own.
Not saying he did good things, he was a complete tool, but a majority of the Legislative branch signed off on the things he did. Not the same thing at all.
he was able to do so with the consent of a majority of the House, Senate and President.
So he was still a bad person but also other people agreed with him and enabled him to do bad stuff
This is like saying “Jeff was not a bad person, they would restrain him so he couldn’t kill, while Josh was a very bad person because he could kill without restriction”
You wrote the words “basic humanity” as if that was supposed to make sense as a justification for a rule. Don’t think we’ve seen a reason.
Reason enough for people with basic human empathy.

Would you react the same if he killed directly instead of indirectly?
