    centrists in here pretending they didn’t spend a solid year cheerleading genocide.

    This is their policy. They’re just mad that their second choice is carrying it out for them.

          apologists for genocide, too busy fighting to keep a left wing alternative out of power to bother with stopping fascists.

          Bunch of milquetoasts, servants of billionaires with nothing but hand wringing and crocodile tears for rising inequality.

          That’s my problem with liberals

      They’re not going to want to hear it. For them, wanting your country to not fall apart equals being okay with genocide. It doesn’t matter that everything is much, much worse. There is even a comment saying this is our punishment for funding genocide. Families that are being broken apart, rights stripped away, growing tensions with literally everyone, and a fucking DOGE department, that’s our punishment for trying to not make things not as terrible as they could be.

      I’m so fucking sick of them going “Oh, so you don’t care. You’re okay with bombing people.” No, no we are not. We are not over here giggling happily at the horror going on. I didn’t see anyone in the town halls or protest going, “now, we’re okay with genocide, but only if we have rights.” Just because we are also worried about our country does not automatically mean that we don’t care anyone else.

      The people in my country are also important. I want them to have Healthcare and food and basic rights. Trying to make the best choice out of two shitty choices is not us going “well, genocide is a okay.” Over, and over, and over we were told there’s no difference between who was elected. BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. This is the fucking difference. I don’t want to focus on fucking Musk and Trump. I don’t even see people speak about the genocide as much anymore because we’re drowning in Trump/Musk news. The protests in my area have shifted because we can’t protest if we don’t even have the right to do so. We can’t vote against anything if we CAN’T FUCKING VOTE.

      I wish it was as simple as just not voting, or at the very least not having a two party system, but we did not have that option last election. It was either Harris or Trump. Did I fucking want Harris? NO! Did I believe she would be, even if by a small amount, easier to deal with than Trump, yes. Yes I fucking did. But I fuck me I guess for caring about Gaza and my countrymen.

        Agreed. With donvict and his zero-empathy crew, the terror and misery are going to be brought here and waged against much of the country, in addition to in Gaza. In addition to him being even worse on Gaza.

        The galaxy-brained so-called “leftists” (I question how many actually are) would have us believe that allowing donvict into office is just fine, and them abstaining from voting or throwing a vote away on a joke of a third party even makes them righteous.

      No one said that.

      Progressives tried to warn centrists that they would lose if they continued their support for genocide. Progressives were not significant enough to listen to, so they’re not significant enough to blame.

      Unless you want to admit that you were wrong and that democrats should have listened and dropped their support for genocide.

        Um, lots of people said that, including donvict himself.

        And when did I say Democrats shouldn’t listen to progressives like me?

          Progressives don’t lie about Progressives’ positions and then pretend they were talking about republicans when they get called on it.

            Uh, progressives did vote third party, claiming that donvict would be no worse, possibly better. That’s no lie. So yes, it was Republicans AND lots of “independents” and even progressives that said so. I watched them do it.

            Also, playing the No True Scotsman with progressives…hilarious. You are not the arbiter of who is and who is not a progressive, although I know you’d like to call everyone you disagree with a “centrist”. Have fun with that. If we play the purity game enough, virtually everyone can be declared a “centrist”, but that’s not very constructive is it?

              Do you have any data? I’m way left of the democrats, I was vocally against the pro-Israel stance, and I still voted for Kamala.

              So you’re blaming progressives for harris’ loss.

              So yes, it was Republicans AND lots of “independents” and even progressives that said so. I watched them do it.

              You’re just straight up lying. Doubling down on your lie about progressives. Stop lying about progressives’ positions and maybe someone will believe you when you say you’re a progressive.

      C’mon Jack, Biden was still shipping munitions until his last days in office. None of those assholes we’re going to stop this
