It’s a shame that we can’t confidently say that his predecessor would even have done this much.

The fact that Booker took money from genociders to be a foreign country’s secret corrupt errand boy seems like a stain that cant possibly be washed off.
Secret? His entire wing of the party is doing it out in the open.
He’s a centrist. They are completely incapable of saying no to netanyahu under all circumstances.
Anyone who was like “taking away the ability to strike is nbd, those rail workers got what they wanted,” I don’t want to see you acting like this isn’t exactly what you want.
And the rail workers got a fraction of what they wanted.
I know you scream “republican” at anyone who says the party should listen to the left for the first fucking time.
Oh, fuck off. I’ve been brutal towards the establishment.
Yes, you brutally defend them every chance you get no matter what they do.
You think they can be shamed into playing nice?
Yeah, they’ll only change by unconditional enthusiastic support every time they betray anyone to your left.
God damn, you’re hyperfixating on one part of my initial comment because you don’t like people remembering how awful your wing of the party constantly is to anyone but netanyahu and two cheneys.
To be clear, I am no apologist for the Democratic establishment.
To be clear, that’s the only thing you have ever been or ever will be.
Giving the false impression that their vote won’t count is counterproductive.
Pointing out that the party does everything it can to ratfuck progressives means that they might respond to pressure to stop, and you don’t want that.
Conservative and centrist are functionally synonyms at this point.
Guess lemmy isn’t a dog-slow pain in the ass for you. How nice.
What is your explanation for why 6 million extra people stayed home? Because my explanation is that 6 million people were dissuaded by negative attitude towards Democrats in general.
Clearly the only option is for all critics to shut up forever and pretend to love the genocide. Because that’s what you’re insisting on. AND NOTHING ELSE. The party will only get worse and that’s the way you like it.
But I’m happy to change my opinion
lol no you’re not.
if there’s some good reasoning behind another explanation.
There is no advocacy for the party ever stopping getting worse that you won’t immediately shout down as helping republicans. You like what the party is doing.
No tea? No tomato juice?
Rolled a nat 20 on intimidation.
I think my point is, you’re convincing other people to not vote
That’s a convenient fiction you’ve concocted to silence valid criticism.
Yeah I deal with despair too. It’s hard, especially with all the terrible shit we’re seeing.
Must be so hard having two parties that represent you like that.
I was not advocating against voting
Neither was I during 2024. That never stopped centrists from making that assumption about me no matter how many times I corrected them. Now centrists want better treatment from the left than they were ever willing to show the left.
No, you are advocating against voting because you want sliwa to win. Mods, this sort of thing never got removed when centrists were calling everyone to the left of netanyahu a trumper, and I’m probably foolish to expect consistency.
They have not.
If that’s what you think Biden’s or Kamala’s position was
They placed no conditions on arms sales for netanayhu’s genocide. That’s called unconditional support.
You’re not going to convince me of anything when you’ve demonstrated you have no perspective.
there’s no convincing you of anything that runs contrary to the netanyahu wing of the party.
Well, that was the assumption every time progressives warned centrists that people would stay home if the administration didn’t abandon their unconditional arms sales that everyone knew were being used for genocide.
You’re expecting greater benefit of the doubt than the anti-genocide left got from centrists. None is forthcoming. You were advocating against voting because you want sliwa to win.
And then spent all of 2024 lying that biden was doing anything to pressure netanyahu “behind the scenes.”
“Behind the scenes” was always a lie.
