Thats a person who stood up for their principles while you abandoned yours. You're the manipulated one here. And we both lost so I dont see that it matters much who you feel like you need to blame. I respect my dog's barking more than I respect anything you say, and my dog is an idiot. Just be aware that the same voting outcome will happen again if t needs to. And 20% of the voters are progressive. So maybe dont try to run a campaign on genocide support from the 'lefty' party again and things will turn out better. Or, you can choose to continue to lose. Centrists are in charge of the party machine, right-- so you go ahead and choose while I sit over here sipping my coffee and talking to Dems who arent sellouts and war criminals.
