Horseshit outlier. I’ve consistently seen DeSuckAss poll at least 12-15 points under Trump since the midterms

I get the bit but Khrushchev was Russian lol

Snyder is also a usual suspect because from what I’m aware Bloodlands is a soft (at the very least) case for the “Double Genocide” thesis.

I wouldn’t say Joel is framed as “the bad guy”. He made an extremely emotionally-charged judgment call because he felt the same way about the odds of the Fireflies’ plan and what’s ultimately important. On a practical level, what he did was wrong because he killed what are probably several of the very few remaining living medical professionals. On an emotional and thematic level, what he did was wrong because his judgment call went against Ellie’s own agency and he very transparently lied to her about it. But it’s left ambiguous in the end on purpose. Was Joel right to be skeptical or wrong to think he knew better than Ellie what she wanted? It’s up to you.
