This U-turn is frustrating and embarrassing, but it says about people's values if that's the final straw, rather than refusal to condemn genocide, dismantling trans rights etc.

You've got a lot of stick for this from people struggling through the cognitive dissonance of using a fascist's site.

Petition that is really close to 100,000 signatures
