    Here I thought being for the suspension of ALL aid to Israel, not just for the ongoing genocide but for being an apartheid ethnostate, might have implied that I was anti-Israel, but here I learn that I’m an Israeli simp. How fascinating!

      “I’m in support of all the most progressive and leftist ideals, but they are sadly not practical so anyone pushing for them must be treated as controlled opposition”

        Yes, because as we all know, pushing for Trump to win a presidential election is DEFINITELY in support of progressive and leftist ideals!

        I apologize for being a Bernie voter, I guess.

            Pushing for progressive ideals =! Pushing for Trump to win

            I’m pushing for progressive ideals. The difference is, I’m not doing it while saying that it’s okay not to vote for the anti-fascist candidate if you feel really strongly that fascism winning is preferable to Teach The Dems A Lesson™ or Show Your Moral Fortitude™.

              I’m not saying it’s OK not to vote, I’m saying expecting people to get on board with democrats when they have 5 months to correct their shit is dumb.

                You’ve gone from “voting blue is supporting genocide” to “harm reduction is a legitimate strategy” in minutes. Amazing.

                  They went from “Might makes right is imperialism!” to “Might makes right” in two comments elsewhere. All there is is contrarianism.

                  Right now voting blue is supporting genocide. Doesn’t mean it has to stay that way, which is why ‘endorsing’ a candidate now 3 months before the Democratic convention is dumb
