    yep, I think the centrists think of it as a single lost election that they can just have a do over on next cycle. Many of the dem base voters they imagine will come back are third party for life now. People take supporting genocide pretty personally. Many on here like finitebanjo and givesomefucks want to pretend the DNC dems never supported genocide. But they did, and still do. Theres no take backsies or do overs on that.

      I like to point out that Democrats had anti-LGBT+ beliefs, feelings, and I’m certain passed legislation for it then started backing off when it became hot button relevant. Which is good, but they are not the innocent poster boys/girls they like to make themselves out to be.

              The comment you were responding to.

              The video proves objectively that was true. Same with genocide today. The party doesn’t get to skate by ignoring genocide anymore. They must change or they will continue to lose. If you continue to vote for their continued support of genocide, it means you support genocide.

                  If that is your conclusion, then kamala winning didn’t matter in the first place, so why u mad?

                    Harris winning would have given us a sliver of chance to turn this Titanic-like ship away from the glacier. When people where joking about how “Its always the most important election of my life time” they did not realize that that one really was and now the future ones don’t matter very much anymore.

                    But anyways, feeling mad at stupid people like you on the internet feels better than feeling nothing. At least while I have nothing to do at work but stew in existential dread.

              Ya I’m stil on the if your trans thats fine doesn’t bother anyone.

              But the keep your son off my natural daughter’s team. Is an opinion a lot of people have and to pretend that’s not turning away voters is huge. And trying to force it will continue to equal losses

              …Useless centrists whining about the outcomes of their own bad ideas as they steer the party off cliff after cliff. You know who saw Harris’s loss coming in the last election Halfsaleman? Everyone. Everyone but centrists like yourself as you cheerfully pulled the voting lever to support what you claim without proof was support for a “lesser, kinder, gentler” genocide. We’re all here in trumpland because of people like yourself.
