    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.

              Netenyahu and his gun-happy genocidal settlers are frolicking around doing genocide.

              Biden was (mistakenly now) fulfilling a longstanding role of basic support for Israel whilst trying to get hold of Netenyahu’s collar to reign him in.

              It’s called strategic foreign policy and negotiation.

              He can’t work miracles. He (his administration) has to keep rabid Zionist genocide-aphiles from abandoning the Dems for the GOP, and try to keep the US’s long standing regional ally; Israel from going full NAZI (which isn’t working very well).

              My point about slander was the continual use of ‘too old’ etc against a very capable and honest person, when the only likely alternative is a full-blown narcissistic rambling cretin sociopath call D. Trump.

                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.

                  Progressives-r-us sunshine. But I’m also old enough to know that there’s a basic fight for existence before we can push the party hard left.
