    I’d argue the other way around. Saying “all lives matter” is technically agreeable at the surface level, but is more often than not said maliciously to detract from greater issues at play (police brutality).

    In a similar sense, the US support for the genocide in Gaza is disgusting and needs to be stopped, but trying to throw the election to a fascist dictator shows that you’re either ignorant or malicious about the greater context (the threat a Trump presidency poses to minorities, immigrants, and women). Not to mention Trump won’t be kinder to the issue.

    So in short, are you trying to throw the election out of ignorance, or out of malice?
