Interesting. Genuinely, thanks for your reply— I’m beginning to think there’s been some sort of misunderstanding (likely on my part). I definitely was not defending Pug’s comment…

Of course! Increasing genocide is of little consequence compared with suffering people’s judgment. Glad we share priorities

Indeed! The actual consequences of (in)actions are unimportant so long as claimed intentions are pure…

1. Claim to be anti-genocide,
2. Act in a way that increase genocide,
3. Accuse others of being pro-genocide,
4. Revel in moral superiority

Doesn’t vote, gets a lot of genocide instead

Ok, not a downvoter, but I’ll bite. A system with more than one party is more democratic than a system with a single party. Are you asking which of the two major parties in the US is the “second” party, making the US more democratic than if there were a single party? If so, I see why no one is answering. If not, perhaps you could clarify your question?
