I think this is a very interesting insight into how their minds operate. It seems that when they call things “complicated” what they mean is “my team supports this thing, but that seems wrong, so it must just mean there’s a really intelligent and good reason why they do and I just don’t want to admit I don’t actually know why I’m supporting this obviously wrong thing.”

In other words, the louder libs shout about things being “complicated” the harder they are trying to drown out and ignore their cognitive dissonance. This being the “most complicated conundrum” means that this guy is being called an amoral scumbag for doing this, but he’s utterly bewildered, because he’s on the good guy team, which means he can’t by definition be amoral. So his only conclusion is that people just “don’t understand” because he’s an intelligent liberal and he doesn’t understand, therefore those other people certainly don’t, after all, it’s just soooo complicated. cognitive dissonance resolved, ego preserved.
