      Not supporting a shitty a brainless, dictator simping, terrorist endorsing, violence condoning organization like the DSA doesn’t mean I support Netanyahu. Fuck him and everybody like him. At the same rate fuck anybody who’s dumb enough to think that the condemnation of one political parasite is an endorsement of another political parasite.

        This also describes the DNC, with whom you have no evident problem.

              You’re so close bro, just a few more disingenuous attempts and you’ll surely catch me as a secret ultra right winger.

                Disingenuous? You hate the DSA for reasons that apply to the DNC but I don’t see you as angry at every democrat as you are any given member of the DSA.

                You just hate progressives and found some copypasta that suits your selective dislike of things both the DSA and DNC do.

                  You ARE being disingenuous.

                  This isn’t about “hating progressives”, it’s about integrity. If a candidate claims to stand against the establishment but proudly accepts an endorsement from a group that’s defends extremists and doubles down on moral incoherence, that’s a real problem. You’re not even attempting to address that.

                  Instead, you’re dodging with bad faith assumptions and false equivalence, as if calling out one group’s hypocrisy demands total denunciation of everyone else, or that I’m obligated to spread my criticism evenly for it to count. Going “b… bUt WhAt AbOuT tHe DeMoCrAtS” isn’t even a valid point, that’s just the whataboutism fallacy which are you using to deflect from the criticisms being made.

                  Also, labeling valid critique as “copypasta” doesn’t make it so, make it wrong, or make it go away. It just shows you’ve got nothing to say about the actual issue, otherwise you would’ve done so instead of desperately scrapping for anything fallacy you throw out. The endorsement from the DSA wasn’t just a footnote in his campaign, it exposed a contradiction you’d rather not reckon with.

                  But I know you’re not honest enough to actually address any of this, so like I said, you’re so close bro. You’re just one more disingenuous attempt, and you’ll surely get me next time.

                    This isn’t about “hating progressives”, it’s about integrity.

                    And by an astounding coincidence, democrats aren’t required to have any while anyone to their left must be perfect in every way.

                    Centrists spent more than a decade screaming “purity test!” at anyone who expected better from the party that centrists ran into the fucking ground. So stow the selective purity tests that magically only apply to the wing of the party you don’t like.

                    You’re arguing macroscopic relativistic issues when voting is a quantum decision.

                    Are you arguing that you’d prefer Cuomo to have won? Cuz he’s the runner up.

                    I think the main issue you’re having in this thread is you are complaining but not really saying what you wanted to happen differently or offering any solutions. In the absence of such things, most people would assume you’d prefer Cuomo.

                  No no, I think I understand what he’s saying. He’s saying everyone is terrible and we should just kill ourselves and stop trying.
