      I’m not happy with it but claiming the only way to react is not to vote is a classic disinformation tactic.

      OP is a Rightwing / Russian shitbag.

        I doubt that.

        claiming the only way to react is not to vote is a classic disinformation tactic.

        I did not claim that.

        Yes, centrists say that about everyone to their left.

          Oh are you ‘left’ now?!? Because it seems to me that you are doing everything you can to sabotage and demoralise the Dems and help the GOP.

            I’m not going to apologize for being unhappy with the party’s decades-long shift to the right.

            I love how when centrists can’t defend how utterly useless they’ve made the party, they start calling people republicans and russians.

              I’m not a ‘centrist’ but I am realist.

              I’m far more Left than you know, but realise that unless we play the hand we have, the whole game is over.

              Right now, we have Biden. There’s no one else lined up. That’s what it is. It’s either him or Trump come November.

              You gonna roll around crying and kicking on the ground and poop your pants, or stand up and use whatever leverage we have to push back against the tide of blatant evil that the GOP not only represents, but literally acts for…?!?

                So you’ve gone from baseless accusations that everyone on the left with any criticism whatsoever is a Republican or a Russian, to dismissing all criticism as the actions of spoiled children.

                You can’t defend Biden or his policies on their merits, so you have to sling abuse and accusations instead.

                If you expect me to believe that you’re not a centrist, stop acting like one.

                or stand up and use whatever leverage we have

                There’s no fucking “we” here. You have leverage over people like me who you clearly hate for daring to be unhappy. Centrists and their Republican best buddies are all we have to vote for, and all we’ll ever have to vote for. Congratulations.

                  Bah. There’ll be no chance for positive change if there’s nothing remaining to change!

                  You want a smouldering ruin of democracy? Keep it up.

                    When the people we vote for won’t lift a fucking finger to stop fascism and instead support a genocide, I’m going to criticize, no matter how much pro-genocide centrists order me to shut up and be happy.
