We weren't selling them weapons. We weren't running interference for them at the UN. Nice false equivalence in support of the genocide that centrists were actively assisting. Centrists have only one policy they won't abandon at the first hint of pushback, and it's genocide.

Doubling down on the abuse because you're incapable of defending the wing of the party that betrays its voters and supports genocide.

Republicans do what they run on.

Democrats don't.

That's an insufficient "get out of accountability for four years of deliberate betrayal plus genocide" card.

If Democrats don’t represent your views, you primary them out.

In those primaries that they don't run honestly when they run them at all.

Centrist democrats get abusive when people point out that they're gleefully complicit with fascism.

While I won’t argue that this has often been the role of the Democratic Party, and I have no doubt that it is a priority of the current party leadership, it is not an inherent function of the party.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

We've had good candidates for decades. The party's attempts to kill their campaigns are sometimes unsuccessful.

Youre right i guess we should all just start voting for more republicans.

Things centrists say when progressives win primaries.

Ask Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema if Democrats were really “in power.”

They were. They wielded power through people like Manchin and Sinema.

Democrats have the opposite problem: in recent memory they’ve only ever had the narrowest of majorities in Congress, and they’re a bunch of cats on a good day, so there’s always a few Democrats in vulnerable seats that will break with the party in order to maintain their “outsider” image with their purple district voters.

Well, that's all the party needs to do the only thing the party is for. Being the pawl on the ratchet.

And you and every other centrist prefer a child rapist over letting people have the choice to vote for someone who might tell netanyahu no.

The choice was almost always, come to choose the lesser of two evils.

The margin between lesser and greater evil keeps narrowing.

And I thought that coasting on the 15 year old ACA was a stretch. The party is not the party of LBJ any longer. It's the party of Netanyahu.

If your voting options are for Fiery Pits of Hell vs Endless Limbo, you vote Endless Limbo no matter how far from Heaven it happens to be right now.

You will keep up this line long after you've achieved your goal of two identical Fiery Pits of Hell parties.

But keep telling everyone how Trump is the same as Biden.

Trump is worse than biden. But biden is a genocidal piece of shit just like everyone who still carries water for him.

I am American, and i am getting very tired of hearing “they CAN’T do things because they have to play by the rules!”

The rules they could change with a simple majority. And any rules they can plausibly make up as well. We can't ignore the Parliamentarian!

You must not be American. Right now all branches of the Federal Government and the majority of states’ governments are Republican. Democrats have absolutely no power to do anything but talk.

It's funny that when the roles are reversed and democrats have majorities, they're still powerless. They're just malingering and useless.
