    I actually think less of them than I do of Trump supporters, and that’s really saying something.

      that’s really saying something.

      Is it though? By definition centrists are much farther to the right than the left is, so your thinking more highly of trumpers speaks more about you and why you guys lost than it does about anyone else. Good old centrism: half donkey, half elephant, always a failure.

        When I say I think more highly about Trumpers than I do about single issue voters who handed Trump the presidency because they were too ignorant and short-sighted to see what they were doing, I mean by the smallest of margins possible. Both these groups of people fall in the “gutter” category for me. But with Trumpers, I’ve already written them off. They never gave me reason to believe they were anything else than what they are. Up until November 5, 2024 I gave the single issue voters some credit, assuming most of them would pull their heads out of their asses long enough to do the right thing.

        I was wrong.

        I somehow have less respect for someone that SHOULD be able to pull their heads out of their asses than someone who just had their heads up there the whole time and were open about it.

      You’d rather side with a Trump supporter than someone who refuses to vote for genocide? That says a lot.

        When, exactly, did I say I’d side with a Trump supporter.

        I stated that I believe Trump supporters and fools who voted 3rd party, abstained from voting, or were single issue voters are all idiots and are responsible for the garbage situation we find ourselves in.

        Before the election anyone with a brain was trying to desperately explain to these 3rd party, single issue, non-voting fools that their inability to grow up and make intelligent adult decisions would gift Trump the presidency.

        AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED.

        I’m not taking sides between them. They’re idiots across the board. I was simply expressing that at least a Trump supporter is an obvious idiot, whereas these other fools went out of their way to be idiots.

        Idiots: I can’t vote for genocide.

        Also Idiots: Oops, Donald Trump is president now and he’s even worse for Palestine.
