    Seriously. How is the only opposition party not the one that decided they would “play chicken”?

    Holy fucking shit, for the millionth time, more than one actor can be guilty at once

    Am I discussing quantum physics to you people or something?

      It’s because actions speak louder than words, you dolt.

      Your actions are “only ever criticize the actual left” and so you are regarded as insincere because WERE ON THE SAME SIDE. But instead you NEED to be morally superior and make sure everyone knows it. It’s the same as the people who didn’t vote for Harris and their constant whinging about how the Dems never listen and theirs was the only MORAL vote. I think that shit was dumb, too, but at least they have principles.

      If you just look at your actions, it appears you want to delegitimize the left in favor of the “centrist” dems as though moving right is a viable strategy that has worked for the Dems in the past. Basically, we see a clown.

        We probably have our political differences but I’m glad you see the failures of “centrist opposition”. Well said.

        Centrism in the political landscape of America is nothing more than a support of a right-wing policy shift.

      If you were explaining quantum mechanics you’d probably start with the fundamentals of understanding momentum and position.

      It’s funny you make an analogy like that. Because you’re completely ignoring both the position that the Democratic party is in AND the momentum they have in driving discourse.

      Do I have to explain it to you?! Do you think the comparison between “online leftist” and the Democratic party is in the same “quantum level”? (Yes I’m stretching the satire here it’s a joke don’t take it too seriously.)

      But seriously, it’s not about “guilty parties” it’s about the degree in which they are able to influence the political landscape.

      You are critizing the smallest sliver of the nearly non existing left in order to avoid criticism of the only party that had any chance of preventing the rise of fascism we are experiencing now.

      And that party did absolutely fuck all to prevent it. So, please. Explain to me you’re “enlightened centrist” take on why the failure of the Democratic party and it’s outright genocide were the fault of the “online left”.

      I’d really love that physics lecture.

        That might be more compelling if the people I fucking vote for in the primary decided to disregard my opinions when they got to the general.

        Instead, I have to deal with the fact that I’m an electoral minority whose options in the primary never get to the general because my fellow progressives would sooner sit at home and jerk off during primary season instead of voting, which is why Bernie only garnered 25% of the fucking vote in 2020 to Biden’s 50%, despite Biden being a centrist ghoul. Which means I have to deal with the majority choice of both parties entering into the general, which is “Centrist ghoul vs. Literal Nazi” since 2016.
