"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.

This was one of the guys who spent every day agitating against Harris. Kudos, bro!

Great job proving their point.

Like so. Hostility for being against genocide.

Oh are you one of the little genocide lovers?

We’ve all seen the data. It wasn’t the anti-genocide side who made you lose, so don’t try to blame us for your fetish.

no, you dope. I have the maturity to understand that fighting against Trump’s opponents means Trump wins. Trump is worse genocide than Harris ever would have been.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

if you keep agitating for far right fascists to be in power I’m sure it will be worse

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

OMG you got me so hard!!! Great way to cope with the outcome of your actions.

trying to stick the “genocide” label on anything that’s not your fringe morally-pure choice (if you can even name a choice instead of being anti-everything) will surely result in more effective results!

Should have known you're a genocide denialist.

oMG got me again!!! If I don’t agree with you 100% I have personally murdered millions of people!! Every single one died at my hands, because I dropped the bombs and pulled the trigger! I’m so ashamed!

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.

Link to the reply where I said that, Mr. Strawman.

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.

wow, these are exactly the same obtuse arguments that good old universal monk made. You don’t understand you could be a contributing factor?

when you swing from pole to pole in your argument like this, recognizing no middle ground or subtlety, it makes you look like you don’t deeply think about anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

You don't get to ignore people then blame them when you lose. You don't get to have it both ways.
