    Damn thats crazy, maybe the centrist dems should have voted for a candidate in the primary that wouldn’t abandon the critical “anti-genocide” voting bloc. I’ll gladly take a term of trump if it means less shit dem candidates in the future.

    Leftists and progressives have 0 leverage against centrist democrats if our votes are unconditional, if supporting a genocide isn’t a line too far then nothing is.

      Damn maybe voting democratic even as a centrist is closer to center than how far the right has gone. Damn maybe not voting because you don’t like your choices just allows a candidate that has radically more damaging positions take the position of power.

      Maybe not voting like a pretentious little bitch actually fucks over yourself and everyone who has similar principles to you because you want to feel morally superior.

      Voting for Trump THE FIRST TIME was supposed to be the “we’ll get less shitty dems” how the fuck did that work out? Oh it didn’t! Stop being so fucking stupid. This logic is so twisted and broken it could serve as the next Republican frontrunner.

        You’re not going to shame me into voting for the guy arming a genocide lol. If the centrist dems don’t like losing votes from the left they should stop choosing unviable candidates in the primary.

        But even ignoring any long term goals to drag the democrats left kicking and screaming I’m just not going to vote for a guy that armed a genocide. Not holding my nose for that.

          Yeah you’re purposefully throwing your hands up like a pissbaby because the best choice is doing something you don’t like. Guess what? I didn’t like Biden the second the DNC picked him over Bernie. Still voted for him. Gonna vote for him again. The reason is super fucking basic - Trump will always be worse. I fucking despise what Biden is doing with Israel and Palestine, his approval rating is subterranean for a reason, Trump is still worse.

          You’re the little child kicking and screaming that daddy Biden isn’t perfect so you’re going to let the guy who can’t even name all the felony charges he’s racked up have a better shot.

          You stand for nothing, you’re sitting on the fence so hard the pole is up your ass, and you give actual centrists such a bad fucking name I can’t even figure out why you engage in politics to begin with. You’re the do nothing Democrat in the most pure form it can take. Shoo, run along and hold up your virtues, I’m sure someone will give you a gold star.
