- Barrin92 7y agoIn the context of someone stating their presidential preference I don't think this logic applies. It's legitimate to ask why someone would make this particular topic their single issue. There are many potential human rights issues, abroad and at home at stake, so the question why the topic of China takes priority is a valid one.
- AsyncAwait 7y ago> suggesting a wrong isn't wrong because of others actions of wrong Except I didn't claim that anywhere. All I claim is that any U.S. stance such as the OP would like to see is likely not principled, so actually voting on this issue is not a good idea, in my opinion anyway.
