    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.

            You have a tendency to jump to calling progressives and leftists Republican Russian children, so there’s no reason to accept your assessments as grounded in reality.

              You have a tendency to dismiss anything 1% right of full communism as ‘centrist’.

              Why not partake in some reality?

              I think you are just here to demoralise Dems and are shilling for the dark money of the RW.

              Instead of slandering Biden, why not help stop Trump, then go on to push the party Leftwards.

                If Biden didn’t want people saying that he supports Netanyahu’s genocide, he shouldn’t have circumvented congress to sell weapons for Netanyahu’s genocide.

                That’s not slander. It’s what he did. Also it’s not slander because it’s written. You’re thinking of libel, which is what you’re doing when you write the lie that I’m a shill for being unhappy with genocide.

                    He can’t work miracles. He (his administration) has to keep rabid Zionist genocide-aphiles from abandoning the Dems for the GOP

                    Sure is neat how they’re a valuable constituency, but progressives are met with open hostility by the party. You’re well-represented by the party and you’re expecting me to act like I am too.
