    I’m sorry, but defending someone from criticism and saying their policies are super amazing isn’t supporting them?

      Saying they’re amazing is, but that’s not what you said they said.

      Defending can be, but it isn’t necessarily. I’ll defend a lot of people or things that people are attacking for no reason. That said, defending someone from a legitimate critique is usually done out of support, but still sometimes it’s done out of a feeling of necessity.
