"This is the behavior of a crazy person.

Trump is a massive failure as president. He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Trump has permitted Netanyahu to drag America to the threshold of war with Iran."

Same thing we did when netanyahu was the de facto president last year: Speak truth, get ignored at best and met with hostility most of the time.

    Like so. Hostility for being against genocide.

    It’s not hostility for being against genocide.

    Bullshit.

    It’s hostility for ignoring the genocide you have triggered back in the US. For people who were supposedly against genocide, you sure did help trump get elected, which made the thing you supposedly “care” about, about 100 times worse.

    You just want someone to blame now that your second favorite candidate is carrying out your only policy for you. If people who don't adore everything netanyahu does weren't worth listening to, you don't get to blame us when what we tried to warn you would happen happens.

    Hope your moral righteousness can stop ICE.

    Your moral cowardice made this happen.

    You know what made this happen is a bunch of so-called leftists who make voting for the President (or even worse, withholding their vote) their only political act.

    We could change the world if we’d unite and get involved in primaries and get out and inspire and educate. But instead we sit at our computers and shitpost and laud our own supposed moral superiority and deride other leftists who are only slightly different than us while everything in the real world just gets incrementally worse and worse.

    WHAT FUCKING PRIMARIES? We didn't have any last year because your shitty wing of the party decided we shouldn't have a choice. After all, we might choose someone who wasn't hell bent on wiping out Gaza like party leadershit wanted.

    I'm specifically talking about EACH AND EVERY FUCKING PRIMARY. No one except a small bunch of boomers ever bothers to take part in these. You're proving my point by instantly assuming that presidential primaries are the only primaries. This is a crisis that has only been enabled over decades by the apathy and lack of participation of leftists.

    The party denying us all a choice because they prefer genocide to letting their voters choose their candidate is emblematic of a deeper issue within the party and its primary system. I can provide additional examples of the party's malfeasance during the primaries. That was just the most glaring.

    This is a crisis that has only been enabled over decades by the apathy and lack of participation of leftists.

    This is a crisis because the party runs dishonest primaries when it deigns to run them at all.

    So, what's the next atrocity we're not going to be allowed to criticize because centrists all love it?

    centrists sure love to mischaracterize opposition to their genocide as support for their close second choice.

    trying to stick the “genocide” label on anything that’s not your fringe morally-pure choice

    Should have known you're a genocide denialist.

    Trump is in office due to people like you though, not me.

    I love how people like me are simultaneously too small a group to listen to, yet are solely to blame any time centrists lose.

    Well, you're blaming the anti-genocide left for the loss the pro-genocide center earned.

    That was the comment I just replied to.

    If we're to blame, if harris' loss is our doing, then we're kingmakers and you were fools to ignore us.

    If we were too insignificant to listen to, then we're too insignificant to blame.
