    Mate, criticizing Democratic candidate, even lightly, absolutely prevents people from voting for them.

    How convenient for the genocide wing that anyone who says anything even remotely untoward about netanyahu’s pets supports trump.

        Centrist democrats refused to stop selling weapons that they knew were being used to commit genocide. They remained steadfast on this one issue while buckling on so many others.

        The characterization is accurate, even if it bothers you to see it.

          “Centrist democrats are selling guns -” What percentage of centrist democrats have the ability to stop or facilitate a greater degree of human-destruction objects being sold? Is Mrs. Cookie, a fabricated centrist democrat, able to sell weaponry herself? How do you know how she feels on that specific topic? She’s a centrist democrat so she must be pro-genocide! Some “democrats” in congress arent COMPLETELY MONOLITHICALLY representative of everyone who voted for them. Or do you agree with every single thing your representative says or does?

            The leaders of their wing of the party do. Centrists don’t criticize. They don’t vote for better candidates in the primaries. They approve.

              Ahh so thats what you mean- Indifferent people and idiots. You could say something more along the lines of “Indifference has led to genocide over and over. Harris did not oppose a genocide, relying on that indifference. Dont be indifferent.” Its longer than “you support genocide”, but its nicer and gets the same basic point across. “Dont support genocide” is also an option, attacking the people whos’ minds you want to change/could change isnt productive.

                Harris’ continuation of Biden’s support for genocide inspired indifference in an electorate already jaded by Biden’s broken campaign promises. The gaslighting about the economy didn’t help either.

          You are characterizing a group as a monolith. Thats like saying all liberals have blue hair and want your kids to be gay. Its entirely untrue, its just a lie you tell yourself to try to feel better than who you are considering an outgroup- Centrist democrats. Put away the beatstick Jim Crow, we know how you feel.

            And that’s only ok when calling people who don’t like genocide Russian bots.

                One did it just a couple hours ago or so. It’s one of a stack of thought-terminating cliches centrists use when confronted with the actions they should abandon their wing of the party over. Trumpers have their own stack that they use for the same purpose, but you don’t tend to see them on lemmy.

                Just scroll through the thread and look.

                  Gotta get ready for adulting and work or Id keep talking to you. Bots are pretty obvious especially when engaged in a long or multi-thread conversation, so if its any consolation I know you arent a bot lol

                  Bots dont have consistent and complicated opinions. I think they would vomit the same word soup instead of having a conversation.

                  Unless you ARE a bot (dun dun dunnnn) which would kinda freak me out at this point.

                    And yet I don’t go around calling centrists bots. I define them by the lone policy of the wing of the party they choose to remain in.
