You’re fine with either as long as no one has the option to vote against crushing orphans.

It’s wrong, of course. Everyone knows it’s Scaturday.

I’m taking polite every day of the week. If you’re so happy to select child crusher, I doubt you have any real preference as to whether someone is polite or not.

If employers are going to be dumb enough to use it, workers should be protected.

Who else scrolled up to see if it was beep?

And through democrats’ primaries.

That non viable candidate almost won and the world would be a better place if she did.

But she chose a losing policy and lost. The entire left was telling you she was going to lose. But the left isn't netanyahu, so centrists didn't listen.

You forgot the bit where the subscription plan refuses to pay for the care you received.

Harris chose a losing policy. She lost. Not that any centrist has read this far, but I voted for her. I fully expect abuse from people who made the assumption that I didn't as soon as I said she chose a losing policy.

Genocide.

You got the genocide you consider perfection.

maga has candidates that they're excited to vote for. democrats do not. Second worst is not good enough to win. Appealing to the voters is not beneath you.

So glad that Biden decided that protecting Elon Musk's financial interests was more important than Americans having affordable electric cars. Every centrist who rails against tariffs but makes excuses for Biden's protectionism is a massive hypocrite.

I can tell you have no idea what im talking about

Gaslighting is abuse. It's why centrists do it all the fucking time.

>Thats a losing policy? Thats been the general policy for 5 decades. And the world became a better place, so centrists' only policy is no longer popular. Abandon it.

I voted for harris. Second worst *still* wasn't good enough to win. Appealing to the voters is *still* not beneath you. For all their "yOu DoNt KnOw HoW gOvErNmEnT wOrKs" gaslighting, the genocide wing is determined to never learn how voters work.

They should stop voting for republicans, but they don't.

I once dealt with a hotel guest who was genuinely upset because shuttle service was suspended due to an active shooter across the street, and he had a tee time he was going to miss. This is the sort of entitlement people in the service industry deal with every single day. I blame capitalism because it incentivizes this sort of behavior, but I do not absolve tourists.

You dont even vote

Libel. I vote every chance I get.

It's like clockwork. Say something a centrist doesn't want to hear, and they assume you want a lecture. I'm very tired of having to repeat to you centrist-splainers that I voted for harris. Yes, republicans are worse. But being second worse by as narrow a margin as you think you can get away with is not enough to win. You have seen that happen before your eyes. You have seen the consequences. And you still think you can berate and scold and lecture your way out of this, to people who knew you were going to lose all along, voted for the genocidal shit you wanted anyway, and get blamed for the loss they tried to warn you about. You need voters to win. And no matter how much the prospect disgusts you, They won't vote for second worst in sufficient numbers for you to win. It's so unfair that you have to give the voters more than capitulation and genocide.

>Protecting a key industry like electric car manufacturing using tariffs is fine We can't have affordable electric cars because Biden wanted to protect Elon's profits. That's fine by you.

And similarly, it's known that tourists are shitty customers when compared with business travelers.

Again, our media presents a certain picture of boomers that isn’t actually reflective of what the average boomer looks like.

I'd say the loudest boomers do that. The media's too busy trying to sell them shit to risk offending them. But perhaps you're right.

More libel. I voted for harris. And biden. And clinton. Stop lying just because you don't like being called out on your abuse.

The important thing is that electric vehicles remain a luxury commodity.

I was explaining why I don't ascribe benign motives to biden's actions.

You're giving biden the benefit of the doubt. You trust him. I see a man who spent an entire year knowingly selling weapons for a genocide. I do not trust him. I do not give him the benefit of the doubt. As far as I'm concerned, the tariffs were to protect the business interests of the nazi Elon Musk alone, at the expense of the American people. If centrists wanted me to be more charitable toward their wing of the party, they had their chance in 2024 to abide by the Leahy law. They chose genocide instead, and that choice defines them.

The intended effect was to protect a nazi's business interests at the expense of Americans. Mission accomplished.

Centrists got their preferred candidate as soon as there was no anti-genocide candidate from either major party. You won when you cheated Americans out of another primary. I’d say to enjoy trump, but he’s supportinmg genocide so you’re way ahead of me on that.

You hate trump because he’s not genocidal enough.

If the press were doing its job, they would put politicians’ donors’ names on the screen with them.

You don’t have to force genocidal garbage on us every time either, but centrists lovew nothing in this world but murdering Palestinians, and they’re happy to lose to fascists as long as they get their genocide.

Oh neat. One of the guys in the top picture.

The wing that lost to trump by running on how great genocide is has no business telling anyone what it takes to win.

As are you. You spent all of 2024 lobbing abuse at anyone who had a problem with genocide.

Would help if centrists weren’t writing his narrative for him because their platform is just his but slower.

“Not me. Us.”

Says lemmy’s foremost genocide proponent.

When the genocide wing can’t defend its only policy, it gets condescending and abusive. And since their only policy is indefensible and monstrous, they are always condescending and abusive.

sigh What wasn’t genocidal enough for you this time?

And when centrists say “compromise with” they mean “capitulate to.”

Obama said he was against gay marriage, then got it legalized. The supreme court legalized it and no one has codified it. It’s on the chopping block just like Roe was. I think sometimes there is strategy in playing the game otherwise you’re stuck with a true fascist. I think that’s cold comfort to the sacrificial pawns.

I understand all of that. I also will never trust centrist democrats again. I vote strategically, but I hate people who gloat about the situation.

So this is all the hate and smears have ever been about: he didn’t bend the knee to netanyahu’s lackey like you think everyone should be required to do.

If it were a centrist or a republican, his name would be in the headline instead of a descriptor.

I can vote for something without supporting it. But since the election is over and you’re still campaigning for the genocidal candidate that lost, it’s pretty clear that you haven’t done so yet.

Were Biden’s tariffs not enough?

One of the Florida Democratic Party sources said that the organization did not favor Vindman over Nixon and was neutral in the primary. Is anyone actually stupid enough to believe this lie ever again?

I’m just so fucking tired of moving to the right one betrayal at a time. There’s always another vulnerable group that democrats consider disposable. Immigrants. Palestinians. Trans people. Poor people. Rail workers. I’m sick of retreating. I want trans people to be accepted because I have loved ones who are trans. I have friends who are plural who society is never going to accept if we don’t get trans acceptance down first. I’m fed up with watching people I was enthusiastic about voting for deciding on my behalf that the Overton window encompasses too many vulnerable minorities and not enough bigots. I feel like it’s not going to ever end, like there is no one willing to stand up for the powerless. That no one understands that appeasing fascists never gets you to a better place, no matter how much you call it incremental progress.

I remember when technology improved things for people.
