Because genocide is bad

So why do you carry water for its arms dealers?

Sorry that you think calling out Israelis for genociding Palestinians is praise.

Why should anyone believe you when all you do is carry water for people who sell them weapons?

Sorry that I’ve been calling out the Palestinian genocide for a decade-and-a-half.

As the best shit you’ve ever seen.

Tell me again how political movements never realign.

Sorry that I didn’t want tens of thousands of Iranians murdered, while you view it as a price you’re willing to pay for moral purity and absolutely no positive change.

And you view it as an acceptable price to pay as long as no one got to vote against the genocide you masturbate to.

You sound like a right winger trying to convince people that the Democratic Party is currently the party of the KKK.

But historically, leftists in the strongest age of labor agitation have supported ‘half-measures’ that didn’t bring about full socialism.

Modern incrementalists are not fit to speak of people who accomplish things other than genocide.

literally ‘fuckerator’

Ah, Perry the Platypus.

Also, the “shave and a haircut” knock means “chinga tu madre cabron” in Mexico, and should be avoided. (You just sang it. Everyone does.)

I’ve often wondered how they localized Who Framed Roger Rabbit for Mexico.

They selectively protect incumbents. They didn’t do a thing to protect Cori Bush or Jamaal Bowman, but they protected Henry Cuellar.

Democrats know they have a stranglehold on the primary process, and they know that the results of their interference with the will of the people will be interpreted as apathy on the part of the left.

In order to justify moving to the right.

You havent advocated for anything but voter apathy and disengagent.

I get that you think that since you can’t imagine a politician moving away from your only policy.

which is my main counterpoint to the OP’s point of view since such a perspective justifies not voting for the lesser evil to send a message to Democrats that they need to field better candidates.

I don’t think this is effective. I consider the centrist messaging that progressives stayed home to “teach democrats a lesson” to be how centrists frame their unwillingness to appeal to an electorate they want to rule instead of serve.

A signed copy.

Yeah, republicans actually deliver the reprehensible shit they run on.

Pepsi isn’t going to print an insert for every machine. They’re gonna print an insert that fits the machine you have to rent from Pepsi. Same with Coke.

So how can this nightmare cycle be broken?

Vote blue no matter who hasn’t worked. Even when a democrat wins, it’s some genocidal shitlib like biden. And when democrats lose, they blame the left they refuse to listen to and move to the right because they want to and pretend that they’re chasing the votes of republicans, even though they know that’s not going to happen and even though they know no one’s actually buying the pretense.

Printers suck in part because they’re mechanical devices that move paper. They are subject to fatigue and their feed stock is inconsistent, and they are built to a cost so they’re as cheaply made as possible.

But they also suck because manufacturers aren’t content to just sell machines that either put ink on paper or fuse toner to same. They also have to screw people as hard as possible on ink/toner. Which means artificial limitations rather than physical ones. And that’s where they really start to suck.

Perhaps. But they can never be trusted again.

And that means all actions must be regarded as calculated malice. And centrists earned this.

I think both are true, liberals might prefer to lose over admitting they’re wrong but it also seems like the vast majority of them genuinely can’t wrap their head around how they’re losing. The idea that killing innocent people in other countries could possibly be enough to turn people against them is beyond comprehension.

Once they supported genocide, they forfeited the benefit of the doubt and lost all trust. Caution in the face of the genocidal requires that pleas of incompetence be regarded as apologia for malice. They know why they lost. They know they’re wrong. They don’t care. As long as genocide had unconditional support in the immediate term, that’s the only thing that mattered to centrists. They walked into this clear eyed and delighted to murder as many Palestinians as they could, consequences for the whole world be damned.
