Look at the part underlined.
To be perfectly clear because some people on here dont seem to understand what I am trying to say, and that is on me for not being clear enough, I see a lot of people attacking said candidate while they support and defend the ADL when they said that Elon Musk's nazi salute was an "awkward gesture". All that being said I am sure that most people on here think that musk is a straight out racist nazi pos and is responsible for platforming all that shit to a level not ever seen before. I think that the people supporting the ADL who to this day pretty much just steer away from anything musk says and does and are commenting negatively on a Democratic nominee are engaging in,,,,,
Well it don't seem right.
There are like four results on musk on the ADL website.
To bring it back around,
I'm not making an argument for said Democratic candidate or against.
I'm making a case that if you support the ADL and are against this candidate for a awkward tattoo then I don't really take that argument seriously. Cause "awkward gesture".
