Blaming progressives for Harris' defeat would be good for a "progressive" voting bloc

You are fucking scum. Working full time in other threads to sow discord, working (I believe literal) overtime to get people to vote for a candidate that will directly lead to the deaths of Palestinians as if you give a single shit about them...

Then here you are giving the fucking game away.

You're working overtime to push the one thing that you know will drive a wedge between the Democratic party and progressives.

You say this is in order to force the Democrats to lose because you think this puts progressives in a better position going forward, but I'm not even sure I believe that.

You're trash. Fuck off please.

Not that it matters. Trump wins, actual progressives will have more important things to worry about such as basic survival

Please do your best to engage in good faith and refrain from namecalling.

Sorry but no I don't get paid to have opinions against genocide.

You’re working overtime to push the one thing that you know will drive a wedge between the Democratic party and progressives.

Democrats doing genocide is what creates the wedge. I am trying to get you to not accept genocide rather than go to the other side and accept it. It is bad to normalize genocide.

You say this is in order to force the Democrats to lose because you think this puts progressives in a better position going forward, but I’m not even sure I believe that.

No, it is because I think it is bad for everyone for you and others to normalize genocide. I am simply responding to others' questions and points when they say things like what it means to get blamed for defeat and so on. I do not think anyone here is being organized or strategic. But they are normalizing genocide.

You’re trash. Fuck off please.

I have already organized under several presidents, including Obama, Trump, and Biden. This "Trump sandwich" is revelatory. Of those three, it has been most difficult under Obama and Biden, as well as due to the local policies of Democrats.

Because I apparently need to explain it, this does not mean I am saying Trump is simply "better" or you should vote for him. Remember, I don't subscribe to "lesser evil" votes for genociders.
