    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.
