  • No. There is literally nothing that can happen and certainly nothing I can say that will get spoiled centrists to ever accept that in order to get voters to the polls, you might have to get only 98% of everything you want.

    You need to court voters. You consider such behavior beneath you.

    The party is willing to throw anyone but Netanyahu and Cheney under the bus and has no fucking clue at all why people stay home.

    Second worst isn’t sufficient to win. Blaming the voters because you don’t want to be better won’t change that.

    And primary season?! What primary season? Democrats haven’t had a primary without a preordained winner since 2008. We didn’t even have primaries this year. And the last time centrists didn’t get their very first choice in the primaries, they formed a PAC to get McCain elected. Don’t preach about primaries when they’re a sham and you always get what you want out of them.











  • I voted for Harris. But I could read the writing on the wall. Every time I tried to warn one of you, you did what you did here. Just assumed that I voted contrary to your sense of entitlement and was trying to justify it.

    And none of you have learned a fucking thing. If there’s ever going to be a next election, y’all are gonna move right and shriek condemnation at anyone who has a problem with it, since the alternative involves treating your base like humans with agency instead of automatons that you can abuse until votes fall out.



  • We told you it was a losing issue. You called us Russian bots and tankies and trumpists because that was easier than listening to something you didn’t want to hear.

    I voted for Harris. But that doesn’t mean I’m blind to the suicidal boneheadedness of the pro-genocide centrist wing of the Democratic Party. We tried to warn you. You thought you knew better. In your overwhelming and unearned arrogance, you concluded that anyone that was willing to read the writing on the wall couldn’t possibly be an actual person with agency.

    Now go hug Dick Cheney. He’s the only vote any of you cared about.

    If the anti-genocide left were too insignificant to treat like humans, they’re too insignificant to blame. Centrists ran the campaign they wanted. Their instincts were and remain shit.
