So, let’s see what centrists call critics of the Bidenyahu genocide now that they can’t call them trumpers.
Because it’s not like centrists will ever abandon their support for genocide.
no crows will land on you, straw man.
Netanyahu is committing genocide and we are wrong to sell him weapons. Centrists will never admit this because it means that the only policy they won’t abandon at the first hint of pressure is not only morally reprehensible, but also politically unpopular.
If any centrist wants to admit that supporting genocide was a mistake, I’d love to hear it. For the first time.
“Centrists will never admit this…”
centrists, and most people now, agree with both of those things, what are you talking about?
you have a non-argument.
you’re trying to rile up anger by safely condemning the imaginary offenses of a vague minority that you likely belong to.
“If any centrist wants to admit that supporting genocide”
centrists don’t support genocide, and if you think otherwise then you clearly don’t know anything about what’s happening in Palestine or in your own country.
“For the first time.”
you got to read some books. articles, watch an interview or two.
If you are unaware of what’s happening and what people are saying, that is your fault, not some vague political minority that you’re ascribing your insecurities and ignorance to.
Selling weapons for an ongoing genocide is support. Just because you like it, that doesn’t mean it’s not support.
Why could she speak up sooner?
She did. She was calling for ceasefires within the first month and seven months ago was the first senator to call it a genocide and calling for an arms embargo.
It would have been too practical. Now Biden is a lame duck and were past the point of no return. Its the perfect time to publicly stake out a fanciful position.
Seems like her position has been relatively the same since the start of the conflict, but do go off
<looks at Warren…>
<checks calendar…>
<squints…>

Opportunistic vulture gonna try to tie herself to bernie.
Warren called it a genocide before Bernie did.
This comment tells me all I need to know about you.
That he or she is based af and has obviously morally correct takes? I agree!
If you don’t care about reality when declaring moral outrage - sure.
If you gave a shit about reality you’d be aware that Warren has been on the right side of this issue for a long time.
