Except that there are 2 groups: progressives and a more extreme left group. Progressives who were arguing in good faith against genocide were lumped in with the latter group.

The establishment Democrats were engaging in censorship and suppression of anything that was critical of Israel. Now Trump has stepped up this censorship/suppression, but it was definitely happening under Biden.

My point is that Democrats, whether progressive or centrist, shouldn’t be supporting this. It shouldn’t matter (on this particular topic) if progressives aren’t voting; I’m not willing to give centrist Democrats a pass and will condemn them just the same.

I keep hearing that progressives aren’t voting in the numbers that they should be, but there might be another problem: there simply aren’t that many progressives to get offices. As a “Reddit refugee”, I realized that we are overrepresented in a lot of these online echo chambers.

So you’re ok with centrists supporting and actively protecting perpetrators of genocide?

DNC will throw an election before moving to the left. Particularly when the topic of discussion involves a certain rogue nation in the Middle East.

It will vote for the lesser evil or else it gets the hose again. It does this whenever it is told. It puts the ballot in the fucking basket!

It pisses me off to no end when people conflate legitimate criticism of Democrats with tankie rhetoric.

Last election season went something like this:

Progressives: “Please stop sending weapons to a genocidal maniac who is using them to murder children in order to grab land. And stop actively protecting said genocidal maniac from consequences in the international community.”

Establisment: “STFU tankie!”

And they want you to breed more slaves for them. That’s why they get so unhinged about LGBTQ, childless cat ladies, growing popularity of childfree, and explains the recent surge in “we are actually underpopulated” bullshit propaganda.
